Before you give up on winning your ex girlfriend or boyfriend back, have you consider doing the following things. Some people have managed to make a lost love come back and saved their relationship. Of course not every relationship can be saved but the majority of them can be restored. So here are some ideas you can try.

1. Don't make him think you can't live any more without him.

Most people make the mistake of thinking that their ex will feel sorry for them and come back. This is not a good way to go. You are more likely to push them even further away by feeling sorry for yourself and appearing like your life is over. Instead pull yourself together and start to move on. With all these hit songs 'saying I can't live without you' it's hard to turn your back on the past and move on. But the truth is if you want to get your ex's attention, you need to do just that. Start meeting people and going out and try to have fun. If you remember the things that your ex found attractive about you, try to make that show. In time, you will start getting some attention and could get a date eventually.

2. Keep in touch with people he cares about.

Many people report that keeping in touch with your ex's family is one of the most effective ways to get and keep his attention. If you've had a good relation with some of the family members, keep the relationship grind and keep in touch. They are your best friends if you want to get your ex's attention. They will constantly be reminding him/her of you and encouraging him/her to call or ask you for a date. Who knows you ex may think it's a good idea and call eventually. Of course of your ex's family is the reason you broke up in the first place, and then this may not be applicable to you.

3. Say nice things about your ex to their friends

This is a powerful way to your ex attention. Most people expect their ex girlfriend or girlfriend to be bitter and to say bad things about them. If you do the unexpected, you'll be showing a level of maturity that is rare in most relationships. A lot of people admire this sort of thing and your ex will definitely be appreciative of this. They may even contact you to try to patch things up.
