Q&A for How to Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back

Use the time away to get a better understanding of the relationship. Often, people feel nervous about entering new relationships after a breakup because they don't know what went wrong in the past. Make sure to take time to reflect on your past relationship, which can help you move forward and create new, positive relationships!

It is natural to feel scared about going up to someone who has rejected you. You may be worried that he won't talk to you, won't be friendly and perhaps won't answer any questions you may have. All of this is natural and normal. If you really want to approach him to ask him something, consider going with a friend you can rely on and perhaps having them doing some of the talking on your behalf. Choose somewhere neutral and calm, and have a good excuse to leave quickly if things seem too awkward for you, such as "Thanks for the quick chat, I have to get to an appointment now". Most of all, realize that if you don't get the answers or discussion you'd hoped for, that it's not a reflection on you, as you've shown much courage, but is about your ex-boyfriend's method of dealing with the situation in his own way and isn't a slur on you.

If he still likes or interacts with your social media posts, smiles at you when he sees you, and talks or asks about you to your mutual friends, then there's a good chance he still likes you.

As common knowledge goes, you cannot make a person have certain feelings for you. However, you can encourage them to feel a certain way through reminders, thoughts, gestures and messages, so there might be some ways to help your ex think about the good things the two of you shared together.
