Getting back with your ex after a painful break-up is not easy. Your ex may be determined not to get back with you at all. Some relationships are just hopeless and there would be no point trying to mend it. But all this depends on the circumstances. The good news is that most couples can save their relationships and they can also get their lost love back. Here are some tips which have helped a lot of people make their ex boyfriend or girlfriend come back to them. It's not rocket science but you have to do it right or the things may backfire on you.

1. Compliments work like magic

If you're still in touch with people who see your ex a lot of times, saying good things about your ex will get his attention. Don't criticise him or complain just say something nice about him or her when you have an opportunity. People love compliments and quickly become fond of those who make them. Warning - don't try to communicate directly with your ex using his friends or associates. Things might backfire on you and push your ex further away.

2. Stay in touch with his/her family and those that he/she cares about

Many people have used this little known secret to get their ex's family on their side. Remember important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries and it also helps if you know the parents or brother/sister's interests. These are the people who will keep reminding your ex about you and encouraging them to contact you and get back together with you. Families really appreciate nice and wonderful people.

3. Show a positive image

The last thing you want to do is appear sad and lonely. This will push your ex further away. But if you move on and start meeting new people and going out, some of the things that attracted your ex to you will start to show and they may start trying to get in touch. There's no time to spend time alone feeling sorry for you. Get out and have some fun.
