Q&A for How to Get Your Ex Back Fast

It can, but you have to be willing to put in the long-term work. If your relationship didn't pan out, there were probably issues, drama, and problems getting the way. Sometimes couples are so focused on "getting back together" that they don't see how dysfunctional their relationship actually is.

Try asking them out on a date or a get-together so you can talk things over and rekindle the relationship.

Try showing them pictures of times you were together to remind them about how positive and happy they felt about you.

Do something that shows you're putting in the work for what ended the relationship before. For example, you could read books or go to therapy to work through issues.

Talk to your ex about the issues you had that made you break up, but start with something small. It's also a good idea to try couple's counseling or self-help exercises to help you resolve conflict. Some issues may be really hard to tackle, however.

Your options are to kiss her or not kiss her. Think about why she wants to kiss you. Does she want to get back together? Does she want to make someone else jealous? Does she just want a physical relationship? Once you've determined her motive, ask yourself if you want to kiss her. Do you want to get back together? Are you comfortable kissing her just to get back at someone else? Would you be happy with just a physical relationship? And so forth. If you decide you don't want to kiss her, simply tell her no.
