The Magic Of Making Up Review

Has everything you've tried so far only making things worst between you and your ex? Think about it, are you constantly harassing your ex and begging them for a second chance? Well if you are, you are only pushing your ex farther and farther away! I was once in your shoes, desperate to find a way to get my ex back.

Let me tell you a little story. In my foolish days I was going out with a girl for about two years. All of which I cheated on her throughout the relationship. She was my high school sweet heart you could say... Don’t get me wrong I truly did love her but I guess I wanted my cake and eat it to.

She took me back countless times, but every time I cheated it was like I took a piece of her heart away. Thing got bad between us, I mean really bad. I’ve been kicked out of her car nowhere close to home; we used to get into physical altercations while driving on the highway. I mean things were bad.

I guess the saying is true “you only have to tell the truth one time, but you have to tell a lie a thousands time”. I would lie and say that I was not cheating with this girl or I did not do this, that, and the other. Then two months later she would ask me the same question again. So what did I do? I would tell a new lie totally different then the original one I told here.

Busted!

After lying so much it was hard to keep up with the lies I was telling. Then it happened, after countless attempt to make the relationship work I was in too deep. She finally broke up with me, and this time she meant business! All the things that I had did to get her back before did not work anymore. She was disgusted with me and officially hated my guts. Days went by, weeks, and even month! She would not even acknowledge my phone call, better yet that I was even breathing. I was deeply depressed and felt the lowest I have ever felt in my life.

I had to get my ex girlfriend back, I just had to. Despite all of the messed up things I did I truly loved her in a way I had never loved before. I wanted her back so much that I was determined to get her back by all means necessary.

The only problem was that the things that I was doing to get her back made me look obsessed and desperate to be with her. The constant phone calls, emails, and text messages were just backfiring on me. Instead of making things better, I was only making he become more distant.

My family and friends started to notice something was wrong with me and after a while I broke down and told them what was up. They tried to help but their advice just wasn’t enough or what I wanted to hear.

The Magic Of Making Up: How to Get Back with Your Ex

So your lover has left you. You decided you want to get them back. But? how?

Don't worry. This series of articles will explain to you the best?and possibly only?way to get your ex back. It is very difficult. It requires enormous strength and incredible patience. It may take a very long time. But it works.

The secret to understanding how to get back together with an ex is that you have to WIN your ex back. You have to love them completely, and get them to fall in love with you again.

What you can NOT do is coerce or manipulate them back to you. Begging, pleading, using guilt trips, evoking pity, arguing, demanding, and threatening. Although temping, those methods are doomed to failure. You'll only anger your ex, lose their respect, and drive them further away. At best, you'll become an annoying pest. At worst, you'll become a dangerous stalker.

Remember what loving someone means. When you love someone, you care about their life and growth, and you want to make them happy.

When you manipulate, beg, and demand, you're not your ex happy. You're making them uncomfortable, annoyed, and angry. Your ex won't enjoy spending time with you?and eventually, they'll start avoiding you.

Instead, you have to create pleasant moments with your ex. You have to be friends. Try to spend time with your ex on a regular basis (but don't demand it). How often? Once, maybe twice a week at most. Anything more frequent is clingy.

While together, do your best to make sure your ex has a good time. Do something fun together. Have good conversations. Make them laugh. Make them enjoy spending time with you. Be a good friend.

Eventually, after enough pleasant experiences, your ex may begin to wonder, "Why did I dump this person in the first place?"

This may sound simple and easy, but it's incredibly difficult. You are confused, hurt, angry, and impatient. Your temptation to lash out at your ex is enormous. You want to know why they dumped you, what went wrong in the relationship. You want to defend yourself, make excuses, accuse and blame your ex for making you feel this way. You may even want revenge.

But if you give in to this temptation, your ex won't enjoy spending time with you, and won't want to do it again. You have to learn to bite down on your anger, pain, and jealousy, and it's not easy.


Magic Of Making Up: How To Win Your Ex Back

When your partner leaves you, your first instinct is to ask, "How can I get them back?" Unfortunately, most people skip right past the more important question they should as first: "SHOULD I try to get my lover back?"

Wanting to get back with your ex is a knee-jerk reaction. Even in a bad relationship where you were considering ending it yourself, in the shock, pain, and grief of being dumped, your first instinct is to want to get back with your ex even if you were considering dumping them anyway.

Before trying to figure out how to get back with your ex, you should examine two things. First, what are your motives for wanted to get back with your ex? Second, is you ex someone worth getting back with?

Why Do You Want to Get Back with Your Ex?

There are good reasons and bad reasons for wanting to get back with your ex.

There's really only one good reason: You still love your ex, care about them, want them to be happy, and want to be with them. In such cases, you probably realize by now that you made some serious mistakes that drove them away. You lost your ex because you were selfish, you took them for granted, ignored them, and were insensitive to their needs.

On the other hand, there are several bad reasons for wanting your ex back. In such cases, even if you manage to get your ex back, both of you will still be stuck in a bad, unhappy relationship, and they'll probably leave you again eventually.

Pride & Wounded Ego? You feel the fact that THEY left YOU is insulting. If you only want to get beck with your ex just so that YOU and can dump THEM, don't bother.

Shame & Guilt? You don't want to be "that person" who couldn't make a relationship work and got dumped or divorced. If this is the case, your ex has become a symbol of your success, and you don't want the person back so much as the status. If the relationship was pretty bad, and you don't really like your ex that much, but you still want them back just to avoid the shame, don't bother. If you get them back, you'll still be miserable.

Fear & Insecurity? If you only want your ex back because you don't want to be alone, or because you feel you can't do better than your ex, these are bad reasons. Fear and desperation is a poor basis for a loving relationship.

Habit & Dependency? Your ex was in your life for long time. Then suddenly, they were gone, leaving a gaping void in your life. You want to get back with your ex just to fill that void and ease the pain. If this is the case, it has less to do with your ex and more to do with you. You just need time to adjust to the breakup and reorder your life. Once you do, you may not feel that you need your ex back after all.

Exes You Should Not Get Back With

Sometimes, your partner leaving you is a good thing. Defective Lovers have serious problems that ruin relationships. Impaired Lovers have personality traits that prevent them from maintaining a loving relationship. While Defective Lovers can overcome their problems and be "fixed", Impaired Lovers can't or won't ever change. In both cases, even if you do get back with your ex, the relationship will just fall apart again.

Defective Lovers & Their Problems

Abusive? physically, sexually, or emotionally
Addicted? to alcohol, drugs, gambling, shopping, gaming, etc.
Unfaithful? a history of cheating on you
Criminal Behavior? regularly engages in activities that could land them in jail

Impaired Lovers & Their Personality Traits

Dishonest
Uncommunicative
Uncompromising
Disrespectful
Possessive & Controlling
Selfish
Insensitive to Your Needs
Insecure
Overly Needy


The Magic Of Making Up: Eight Mistakes to Avoid of You Want to Know How to Get Back Your Ex

Unfortunately, many of the tactics people use on how to get back your ex backfire completely, driving them further away.

If you want to know how to get back your ex, avoid these eight common mistakes.

1. Manipulation, Coercion, or Extortion

Your ex will recognize manipulation for what it is and resent it. Even when it works, it doesn't work. By using coercion (for example, using custody of the children as leverage), you can force your ex to come back, but can't force them to love you again. It will just leave them angry and resentful.

All the other mistakes below are forms of manipulation.

2. Begging and Pleading

This shows desperation, which is repulsive and drives people away. It also makes your ex lose respect for you. Seriously, could YOU respect someone who begs?

3. Evoking Guilt and Pity

Even if you CAN make your ex feel guilty or pity for you, they still know on some level you're manipulating them. They'll be frustrated, angry, and resentful that you're making them feel that way. Being pathetic (worthy of pity) discourages respect and inhibits love. Can you really respect someone you pity?

4. Making Sudden Concessions

This is a blatant form of manipulation. If you are suddenly willing to get marries, have, kids, move, etc., only once they leave you, your ex will seriously question your sincerity. They know you are only using it as bait. It is also desperate and pathetic, both of which drive people away.

5. Imitating & Competing with "The Competition"

Imitating your ex's new lover is obvious, manipulative, desperate, and pathetic. It implies you think what went wrong in the relationship with your ex was something as superficial as having the wrong haircut, outfit, or car. It's also insulting to your ex, implying they're so shallow that their love will be inspired by a few minor material surface changes.

6. Making Demands

Demanding is begging kicked up a notch. It's manipulative, absurd, and empty. You don't really have any right to order your ex to do something, violate their freedom of choice. Realizing this, they'll be angered by your presumption. Demands are also utterly pointless, because you have absolutely no way to enforce them. You'll suddenly realize this when your ex refuses your demands, and you'll switch to begging instead. See Mistake #1.

7. Giving Ultimatums

Ultimatums are demands kicked up a notch. Like demands, you have no right to issue an ultimatum, and your ex will be justifiably angry when you do. Also like demands, you have no way of enforcing ultimatums. Finally, ultimatums almost never work. You're ex will almost certainly make the choice you didn't want.

8. Making Threats

This is the biggest mistake. Nothing drives ex-lovers away faster than violent threats. Threats of physical violence to your ex or their new lover will only make them afraid of you and drive them further away. NOTE: This includes threats of violence to yourself (for example, "If you don't come back, I'll kill myself!").

What all these mistakes have in common is that they display a profound selfishness. You are not focusing on your ex's needs, wants, and happiness, but on your own. If you really still love your ex, you'll be more focused on what THEY need, and try to make THEM happy. An ex will respond much more to such of display of care and concern than they will to manipulation.


The Magic Of Making Up: How to Hold My Emotions at Bay if I Want to Get Back My Ex

One of the crucial elements in "How to get back my ex?" is "How do I control my Emotions?"

The trick to getting your ex back is to be a good friend and love them completely.  Spend time with them, and do your best to make that time pleasant and fun.  Show an active concern for their life and their happiness.  Quiet, persistent, non-demanding love is almost impossible for anyone to resist.

Of course, this is easier said than done.  You're still reeling from the shock, rejection, and abandonment of the breakup.  You're confused, hurt, and angry.  If your ex has a new lover, you can add to that list jealousy, envy, and an insatiable desire to know what your ex and their new lover are doing behind closed doors.

But if you can't control your emotions?if you give in to the temptation to argue with your ex about the breakup, or show your ex your pain, grief, and anger?your time together with your ex will become unpleasant, and you'll only drive them further away.   

So how do you control your emotions?

First, notice the word "control".  Do not suppress or ignore your emotions?if you do, they'll only burst out at the worst possible moment.  Instead, vent them to a safe target.  One safe way is to write out what you're feeling.  You can rant, scream, and cry to your computer screen all you want, and no harm is done.

Another safe way is to voice what you're feeling and thinking to a confidant.  Choose your confidant carefully?one who won't mind "choosing sides" between you and your ex, and who probably has little or no contact with your ex (you don't want what you say to get back to your ex).  Family is the best for this?they'll always take your side in a breakup, right or wrong.  Confide in a parent or sibling.

The Goal

Next, whenever you are spending time with your ex, keep The Goal in mind at all times.  Your Goal is not to argue with your ex, the Goal to demonstrate your love for your ex and to create a pleasant experience for them.

If you get the urge to argue, explain, accuse, blame, or demand answers from your ex, just tell yourself The Goal over and over again.

Prepare for Contact

Before you spend time with your ex, think through the encounter.  Identify potential things that might catch you by surprise make your anger or hurt pop out, and have a plan to deal with them.  If during your time together, you realize you can't keep going with a straight face, have an "exit strategy" prepared?a reasonable excuse to cut the meeting short.  It's better to leave suddenly than emotionally explode and ruin the pleasant time you've work so hard to create.

Control the Conversation

There are certain topics you can be almost certain cause your carefully controlled emotions to burst to the surface.  Such topics include you and your ex's past relationship, your ex's new relationship with their lover, and anything you and your ex have argued about in the past.  

Instead, carefully plan ahead of time topics of conversation that are "safe" to talk about?music, movies, TV shows, books, etc.  If the conversation begins to drift onto any of the dangerous topics, try to smoothly change the topic.

As the months go by and you begin to adjust to your new situation with your ex, you can try talking about the dangerous topics.  If you can keep a lid on your emotions, keep going.  If you think you're approaching the emotional boiling point, find an excuse to leave temporarily (use the restroom, order another drink, etc.), calm down, then return to your ex and start a new topic of conversation.


The Magic Of Making Up: How to Get a Girlfriend Back When They're With Someone New

Getting your girlfriend back after she's left you is difficult and time consuming, but it can be done. Obviously, it is quicker and easier when you two are separated, but your girlfriend remains single and still has confused feelings about you. But what if your ex-girlfriend has a new boyfriend?

This makes getting your girlfriend back much harder. It will take a lot longer; require more effort, and much more self-control on your part. But it can still be done.

This is perhaps the most anguishing for you, the ex-boyfriend. You are probably thinking you've missed your big chance, your window of opportunity. Your girlfriend is in love with someone new, and you'll never get her back.

Whoa. Hold on just a second. Take a step back and look at this objectively. The chances that your girlfriend left you and almost immediately found the love of her life? The one she will marry, have children, grow old and die with is incredibly slim. The chances are much greater that it is merely a rebound relationship, which are notoriously turbulent and short-lived.

When someone falls in love, the first few months are exhilarating and magical? But it doesn't last. Reality kicks in. As people learn more about their partner, they realize they were not quite so perfect as they seemed before dating them. Once the euphoria of infatuation and lust wears off, unless a deeper bond of love and commitment between compatible personalities replaces it, the relationship falls apart.

The stress points in a relationship are one month, six months, one year, and two years. All you have to do it wait for your ex-girlfriend's rebound relationship to fall apart. If you have managed to be there the whole time, a good friend and confidant to your ex-girlfriend, she may look at you with new eyes as her rebound relationship falls apart. If you have successfully demonstrated that you loved her, cared about her, and wanted what was best for her the whole time, it'll be hard for her to NOT want to give you another chance.

In the meantime, however, you have to deal with your own jealousy, envy, and curiosity. Oh, and the overwhelming impulse to bash the new guy's head in.

The best way to handle "the new guy" is to ignore him? When you're spending time with your ex, that is. You will be insanely curious. Does your ex-girlfriend love him? How does he compare to you? Are they sleeping together? Is the sex better? The ironic thing is that, although you are dying to know these things, once you find the answers, it just makes you feel worse. It's safe to assume the worst, and try to get used to that.

When spending time with your ex, you must resist asking these questions at all costs. Why? First, it will upset your ex that you are prying into their private life. Second, it will make you upset, and harder to keep control of your emotions. Third, it is a "hot topic" will more often than not lead to an argument that will ruin the pleasant time together that you are trying to create. As far as the conversation goes, act as if there isn't anyone new.

Unless your ex-girlfriend has absolutely no tact, she will probably not mention her new boyfriend. The occasional reference may slip out, but you should not pursue the topic, changing the subject if necessary. As the months go by and you get more used to being single and just friends with your ex, you can try to broach the topic? But if you feel yourself getting uncomfortable, agitated, depressed, or angry, back off and let the topic rest until another time.


The Magic Of Making Up: How to Get Back With Your Ex Girlfriend If They Are With Someone New Part II

In the previous article, we explained the importance of keeping a lid on your jealousy if the ex-girlfriend you want back has a new boyfriend. Now, we're going to take it one step further: how to deal with the boyfriend himself.

First, and most importantly, do NOT confront, threaten, or attack your ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend. Sure, the desire to do so can be overwhelming? The urge has been hard-wired into men since the caveman days. But take a step back and think about the effect it will have on the girlfriend you're trying to get back.

Such a confrontation will anger your ex-girlfriend. She will think that you have no right to do that and you don't. At best, she'll lose respect for you. At worst, she'll become scared of you and never want to spend time with you again.

It's best if you never meet the guy. You will inevitably compare yourself to him, and you'll always come up short and feel even worse. Why? Because even if he's a complete loser, the woman you love still chose him over you. Obviously, he must have something you don't have.

Unfortunately, accidents happen. What do you do if you bump into your ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in the grocery store? If you want to win your girlfriend back, you have to swallow your pride, anger, aggression, and jealousy and be polite. Do the absolute minimum required by social courtesy. Say hello. Introduce yourself. Shake hands (and don't try to crush it). Then get out of the situation as fast as you can. Make up an appointment you're late for and excuse yourself.

If you are rude or get into a testosterone competition with your ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend, you are only going to embarrass, offend, and anger your ex. Is the sudden dentist appointment you have to run off to an obvious ploy to get away? Of course, and your ex will realize that, but all but the most insensitive women will understand and accept it. She and her new boyfriend caught you by surprise and unprepared your making a polite extraction from the situation is really the best she could hope for.

A more frequent problem you'll deal with, and one you'll have to deal with more carefully, is if the topic of your ex's new boyfriend comes up in conversation. Resist the temptation to put down the new boyfriend or point out all his flaws. Don't try to argue that you were better for her. Why? Because when you do that, you are insulting your ex-girlfriend. She chose this guy, and if you point out that he's a loser, you're insulting her standards, judgment, and taste in men.

It also puts her on the defensive, and she'll automatically start defending her new boyfriend. That will trigger your anger, and the next thing you know, you're having an argument with your ex-girlfriend when you were supposed to be treating her to a good time instead.

It's best to avoid the topic of conversation all together. If you ex-girlfriend insists on talking about her new lover (in which case she's very insensitive and you should reconsider if you really want to be with her), keep your mouth shut, smile and nod, and just listen. If it gets to be too much to bear, cut the date short, or excuse yourself long enough to mentally retreat and regroup your defenses.

If your ex-girlfriend has a new boyfriend there is nothing, repeat NOTHING, you can do to stop her. All you can do is grit your teeth, keep your head down and wait.


The Magic Of Making Up: What Is the Secret to How Do I Get My Ex Back?

In this series of articles, we've already described the basic strategy to getting your ex back.  The idea is to spend time together with your ex as a friend, and do everything in your power to make it a positive, pleasant experience.  Friendship and pleasant shared experiences between two people result in bonds of loyalty, mutual respect, and trust.

The only difference between good friends of opposite genders and lovers is the chemistry: a mutual physical attraction and personality match.  You already had that once, so you can bring it out again.

On the other hand, while positive shared experiences result in loyalty, respect, and trust, negative shared experiences result in bitterness, disgust, and hatred.  Consequently, in previous articles, we've stresses the importance of NOT getting into arguments with your ex while spending time together.  Arguments can be avoided by carefully controlling your emotions, steering clear of troublesome conversation topics, and avoiding all-too-common mistakes.

In this article, we finally get to the core of this strategy of getting your ex back: how to create a pleasant experience.

There are three components to creating pleasant experiences: yourself, the setting, and the timing.  By the way, romantic experiences are merely pleasant experiences kicked up a notch.

We've already discussed how to handle yourself.  In addition to carefully controlling your emotions, and conversation, you need to identify the behaviors that drove your ex away in the first place.  Then you have to correct them.  Finally, demonstrate to you ex whenever possible that you have changed for the better.

A pleasant, or even romantic, setting consists of four things: lighting, sound, scent, and background.  Lighting includes things like the shady sunlight under trees in a park, moonlight, candlelight, campfires, and soft or dim electrical lighting.  Such lighting conditions tend to relax and sooth, putting people as ease and comfort.

Sound should be quiet and soothing.  Soft music is the most obvious example, but the sounds of waves, wind, rain, and birdsong are also relaxing.  It should be a constant but pleasant white noise in the background, but low enough so that conversation is easy.

Pleasant scents include such obvious things and flowers, perfume, and cologne.  More subtle scents, however, would include scented candles, incense, pipe tobacco, coffee, and especially food and cooking smells.  Even things like shampoo or freshly cleaned laundry can provide a pleasant, soothing scent in the air.

Finally, a pleasant, beautiful background helps.  This doesn’t have to be a seashore or a mountain range.  A simple city park, farmland, cityscapes, or a clean and elegant restaurant, bar, or coffee shop can also provide a pleasant background.  If nothing else is available, a clean but comfortably lived-in living room can do the trick.

Timing is a bit trickier to get right.  When you first contact your ex and start spending time together again, don't jump straight into candlelit dinners at expensive restaurants.  Such blatantly romantic gestures will come across as inappropriate and manipulative. 

Start off subtle.  For example, go see a movie together.  Seriously, stop and think about it, while waiting for the movie to start, you are in a dimly lit theater with thick carpets and velvet curtains, surrounded by the scent of fresh buttered popcorn, soft music, and the low chatter of people around you.  It's a pleasant, even romantic, setting, but also completely appropriate for "just friends".

As the weeks and months go by and your ex warms up to you again, you can start risking more and more blatantly romantic situations.  Save the candlelit dinner for a good excuse, like a birthday or a celebration of some sort.  It takes a lot of careful planning and forethought, but if you do it right, you can slowly and subtly move your ex towards more and more pleasant environments and situations without them even noticing.


The Magic Of Making Up: How Do I Get My Girlfriend Back?

No matter how much evidence there is the contrary, people continue to think that sex equals love. Not just women, men do it, too. This is a crucial fact you need to be aware of if you want to get your girlfriend back.

True, sex and love do often go together? Hence the term "to make love". But lots of people also have sex with little or no emotions involved. Relationships based exclusively on sex tend to fall apart. Emotionally, good sex is no more satisfying than a good meal and bad sex is considerably worse.

Just because your girlfriend is having sex with someone new, even if it's fantastic sex, doesn't necessarily mean anything emotionally. It doesn't mean she's in love. It just means she's having sex.

Likewise, if you and your ex girlfriend have sex, that doesn’t necessarily mean she want to get back together again. It could simply mean she was just lonely and horny, and you were available. It's also possible she may wake up the next morning beside you and immediately regret sleeping with you as a big mistake. Until your girlfriend verbally tells you in no uncertain terms that she want to get back together, treat having sex with her as simply that just sex, and nothing more.

On the other hand, if you are trying to get back together with your girlfriend, and after a pleasant evening spending time together, the two of you end up in bed, that's a very good sign. If nothing else, it means she's still attracted to you. Often, however, it probably also means that your girlfriend trusts you and is very comfortable with you.

Once you find yourself in bed with your ex-girlfriend, you're not out of the woods yet. Just like conversation and spending time together, you need to make this encounter a pleasant experience for her. At this point, great sex will help you achieve your goal of getting your girlfriend back. Bad sex will drive that goal further away. This time, more than any other, you need to be a fantastic lover.

The secret to being a good lover to be attentive to your partner and find out what pleases her. You, as an ex-lover, have an advantage here; you already (hopefully) know the best ways to please your ex-girlfriend. Take your time, focus on her reactions, and make sure she enjoys herself fully. If bad sex was a factor in your girlfriend leaving you in the first place, now's your chance to demonstrate that you've fixed that problem.

Finally, a word of caution. After being dumped, many people of both genders but especially men feel the need to either fill the void in their lives with someone new, or to go out and get laid to reassure themselves that they are still attractive, sexy, and virile. Should you have a one-night stand, or date someone else, while trying to get your girlfriend back.

This is a bad idea for two reasons: first, there is a good chance your sexual partner or "temporary" girlfriend will get hurt in the process, or cling to you. This will add stress, drama, and chaos to already emotionally turbulent situation for you. Second, part of getting your girlfriend back is rebuilding trust. How is your girlfriend supposed to believe you honestly want her back if you are dating or having sex with someone else at the same time? In general, it's best to avoid both of these pitfalls if you can.


The Magic Of Making Up: Is It Time To Give Up On Your Ex?

You've been trying to get back together with your ex for months and months. You've done everything right. You've contained your pain, grief, curiosity, and anger. You've avoided begging, arguing, manipulating, and threatening. You've done everything you can to create pleasant, enjoyable moments together with your ex. You and your ex are now spending time together on a regular basis and are good friends.

But your ex is still showing no signs of wanting to get back together. At what point do you just give up and move on?

If your ex has a new lover, and they have been together for over a year, the chances are good that they will be together for several more, and possibly permanently. Sure, you could hang around for years on end, waiting for them to break up, but that wouldn't be fair to yourself. Keep in touch with your ex, but move on. Do what you need to do to take care of your own life. Date someone new, move to a different city, or start a new career.

But before you give up, give it one last shot. Here's how.

There is always the chance that your ex is taking advantage of you. After all, they are getting from you all the loyalty, trust, respect, and concern of a loving relationship without any of that messy commitment stuff. It's a great situation for them, and they could string you along this way for years.

The trick is to gently encourage them to make a definitive choice. The way to do this is by using a gentle, non-coercive, non-demanding sales technique called the "take-away".

You've probably experienced the take-away from an adept sales person before. They offer you a great deal, but you have to buy it NOW if you wait any longer, or come back tomorrow, the item will already be sold, or the special discounted price will no longer be offered. You are going to do essentially the same thing, but with love.

First, do not make your "love take-away" sound like a threat or ultimatum. Your lover will bristle defensively and angrily refuse, resenting the manipulation. Second, you must be willing to back up the take-away after tonight, you really WON'T want to try the relationship again.

Make the take away sound like it's not an ultimatum, but a choice you are offering your ex because you care about them. Don't say, "Choose me now or lose me forever." Rather, say "I'm met someone new and thinking about dating them. But I still love you, and I'll choose a second chance with you over someone new in an instant. What should I do? Do you want to give "us" another chance, or should I move on?"

When you phrase it this way, it’s non-demanding. You're not forcing your ex to make a choice; you're offering it to them as a courtesy. Don't worry, the ultimatum is still there, silently implied: if you commit to giving me a second chance now, you'll lose the opportunity forever. Faced with such a decision, your ex may suddenly decide they do want a second chance after all.

Or they may tell you to move on. If that happens, it's time to do so. Enough time should have passed by now that you've adjusted to being single again, and the pain and grief of the break-up is beginning to subside. Move on with your live. Keep in touch with your ex (you two are still friends, after all), but spend less time with them, and don't treat them any differently than you would treat any other good friend.
