11 Ways to Make an Aries Man Regret Losing You

Written by Stina Garbis | Edited by Glenn Carreau

Last Updated: April 13, 2024 Fact Checked

In the wake of a breakup with an Aries guy, how can you become "the one that got away?" Aries may appear to move on with his life quickly after the breakup, but because of his impulsive nature, he might later look back on the relationship and realize he's made a mistake. If you want your Aries man back, all you have to do is play it cool and let him take the lead. When you show him everything he's missing, he'll wonder what might've happened if you had stayed together—and try to rekindle the relationship!

This article is based on an interview with our psychic astrologer, Stina Garbis, owner of Psychic Stina. Check out the full interview here.

If you argue with him, hot-tempered Aries will just get mad too. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of aggression and assertion. When you pick a fight or demand an apology, your Aries ex will be defensive. Instead, do your best to come to terms with your breakup. Talk it through with trusted friends and allow yourself to be sad without blaming anyone for what happened. Your maturity and cool acceptance will make Aries second-guess the breakup.
- To move on, allow yourself time to grieve for the relationship, get your emotions out, and rely on a support system of friends and family.
- Get rid of clothes and other keepsakes that remind you of him, as they may make moving on more challenging. ^{[1]

Aries might see it as a sign of desperation if you chase after him. In his mind, desperation is weakness, and he's attracted to strength. Hold off on contacting him directly for at least a couple of weeks after you break up. Aries is quick to forgive and forget and hates being alone. He's likely to get over any hard feelings about the breakup quickly, and after that, he'll regret distancing himself from you.
- Try the no-contact rule , which encourages you to cut off contact for 30 days. This gives your Aries enough time to get over any initial anger that he had about the breakup and start feeling wistful instead.
- If you want to reconnect with your Aries, send him a friendly "how are you?" text after the no-contact period ends. From there, ask him to meet up with you in person to build your friendship or rekindle the romance.

Maintain an air of mystery.

Keep him in the dark about your life, so he'll wish he knew more. Once you're texting him again, hint at what you're up to but be vague with details. Aries loves a challenge, and if you're distant around him, it'll bring out his competitive spirit. He'll want to know the details of your life again and regret being so out of touch with you.
- For instance, you could say, "I've been getting into some pretty cool creative projects lately. What about you?" without telling him exactly what you've been working on.
- You could also try, "Remind me to tell you more about my trip last month! I have so many stories, but I'll have to save them for another day."
- If you want to get your Aries man back, it's essential to let him take the lead. Be available to him—and a little mysterious to keep him interested—but let him set the pace.

Flaunt your social life.

Show him that you don't need him to have fun and go on adventures. Aries is fiercely independent and respects people who value freedom the same way they do. Embrace your independence and let him see you living your best life, either through social media or by hinting about your busy life when you text him. Make plans, enjoy a night out, and work on strengthening your friendships.
- If he sees that you're the life of the party, he'll regret losing such a fun person to spend time with.
- If you two have mutual friends, don't avoid social situations where you might run into him. Focus on enjoying the time with your friends, and he's sure to feel a little wistful when he sees you.

Catch Aries' interest by expanding your horizons while you're apart. Take up another hobby, learn something new, or start traveling to places you've never been before. Pick an activity you've always wanted to try and throw yourself into it. Focus on growth and self-improvement while also having fun and enjoying your life. He'll wish he was out there with you instead of alone.
- Aries guys tend to be energetic, so taking up any kind of physical fitness or team sport is sure to interest him. If you prefer solo activities, you could always take up something like hiking or skiing.
- Aries also admires creative pursuits, like acting, singing, theater, and painting.

Get a major glow-up to make him wish you were still his. Whether you've been meaning to get that awesome new haircut or revamp your wardrobe, show your Aries ex a side of you that he hasn't seen before. Change is exciting to Aries, so you'll instantly catch his eye if he sees you doing something new with your look.
- Aries men find a lot of different styles appealing; the most attractive quality for him is that you look comfortable and happy in your own skin. Whatever outfit you use to impress him, don't be afraid to be unique.
- Each sign rules a certain body part, and Aries rules the head. Take extra care styling your hair, adding accessories, and applying makeup if you wear it; he'll look at your face before anything else.

The more successful you are, the more you'll impress ambitious Aries. Work hard and focus on furthering your career, whether you're getting a promotion, changing career paths, or tackling an ambitious project. He's attracted to driven people who are willing to cheer him on throughout his journey. Tell him all about your success (or show it off in a big job update post on social media), and he'll regret losing the go-getter of his dreams. ^{[2]

- Make sure you don't turn this into a competition with your Aries ex. He's extremely competitive, and things might get nasty if you're both trying to one-up the other or steal the spotlight.

Seeing you look happy and healthy will keep him thinking about you. Every time you do something interesting, fun, or adventurous, post a few photos from the event. Document your life and let him watch you shine from the sidelines! If you seem irresistible on your Instagram page, he'll have a hard time resisting you in real life.
- He'll be even more fascinated by photos without much context. For example, if you post a pic of you and your friends laughing at a bar, leave it captionless or type a simple and vague "🍹🥳" with the photo.

Flaunt your favorite looks to entice a sensual Aries. While posting pictures to social media, include a few that make you feel particularly great about yourself. Better yet, dress up a little if you know you'll be seeing him in person. Wear your most flattering outfit, and don't be afraid to show a little skin. He won't be able to take his eyes off you!

Bold Aries is attracted to people with the same self-assurance. It's natural to feel unsure of yourself after a breakup, so get reacquainted with your own awesomeness! If you run into him—or even hang out—after the breakup, make sure you're the picture of confidence in both attitude and body language. You'll make a lasting impression on him, and he'll be sorry he let you go.
- To build your confidence , challenge your negative thoughts and correct them. Turn the negative into positive until you've cut out all the negative self-talk from your mind. ^{[3]

- Forgive yourself for anything you feel you may have done wrong—especially in your past relationship. Acknowledge any mistakes, forgive yourself, reflect on what you've learned, and use it to encourage yourself as you move forward.
- For more confident body language, stand straight with your shoulders back and hold your head high. Keep your arms loose by your sides, and make firm eye contact when you speak.
