There may come a time in your life when you may actually want to get your guy back after a break up.  You may find that you are not in the best position to do so.  If the break up was caused in some part by your reaction to something that was a misunderstanding then it can be hard to do, but not impossible.  In this article I'm going to give you 5 tips to help you get your guy back.

Tip #1 Apologize

It may or may not be obvious, but the first thing that you will have to do is apologize.  And I mean a sincere heartfelt apology.  If you can not express yourself verbally then consider writing a letter and expressing how you feel to your guy.

Make sure that your apology covers the three important parts of an apology.  Your apology should first acknowledge that you were wrong to react the way you did.  Next you need to explain what happened and why you had the reaction that you did.  Last, but not least you should make a committment not to do this again.

Tip #2 Give Him Some Space

The next thing that you will need to do is to give your guy a little space.  Give him some time to think about what you have said.  Allow time for the apology to sink in.  This is a cooling off period and will allow his anger to dissipate.  Sometimes this can take a few minutes or a few days.  If you find that your guy is not immediately receptive to your apology then don't push it.  Avoid contacting him, you've offered an olive branch, and now it's his turn to respond.  Do not enlist friends or family to intervene on your behalf, because this will not work.  Maintain your distance.

Tip #3 Don't Come On Too Strong

When your guy finally does contact you again, and he will if only to get his clothes back from you, now is the time to act.  But don't over do it.  Keep the conversation light.  Reflect on some fond memories that you've shared in the past.  Make sure the conversation is positive.  If your guy is receptive to this then offer to meet him for coffee or drinks in the near future so that you can talk.

Tip #4 Reaffirm Once More

If your guy does agree to meet you for coffee then this is your opportunity to apologize once more for your mistake. Let him know again that you will not let something like this happen again. Express your feelings for him and let him know that you miss him, and you would like nothing more than to be with him once more.

Tip #5 Ball's In His Court

After doing the above 4 tips you will have done everything that you can to repair the relationship. Now it is up to your guy to make the final move. Let him make the decision on his own. But I'm confident if you have done everything above you will not have to do much more to get your guy back.
