It's a common idea in society that in any breakup, the guy always has an easier time getting over it and moving on than the girl does.
But in reality, breakups are a lot harder on guys than most people know.
You've probably been there, especially since you're reading an article with a very straightforward title.
Are you asking, "Can I get my ex-girlfriend back?" If you are, then it'll help if you read this article to the end.
  First of all, yes, it's possible to get your ex-girlfriend back, but you may have very slim chances of doing so, and it may entail sacrifices you're not ready to make.
But there are a few general tips that you can follow to improve your chances, or at the very least clear the negativity between you and your ex-girlfriend.
More than anything, you'll need to help start the healing.
  Take A Step Back   Try to step back and see what caused the breakup.
Was it a mistake? A misunderstanding? A bad attitude that you couldn't kick? Whatever the reason is, it's always important to identify it before you go trying to get your ex-girlfriend back.
You can unwittingly make the same mistake that caused the breakup, making things worse.
You'll pretty much give your girlfriend the idea that she did the right thing by breaking up with you, and that's something you'd want to avoid.
  Instead of begging her to come back directly, try a little indirect persuasion.
The best way to do this is to honestly look into yourself and find the things she didn't like when you were still together.
Perhaps she didn't like the way you were tardy in returning her messages, or when you weren't sweet enough, or when she saw too little of you.
When you find your bad qualities, you can work on fixing them.
  Change Your Outlook   When you start becoming a better person, your ex-girlfriend will notice.
She'll probably feel a little bitter over the breakup, but she'll start warming up when she sees an improvement in you.
She may even initiate the mending by asking to meet for coffee sometime.
  When she asks you out, try not to act too obvious when you're together.
You can talk casually, as though you've been friends for the longest time, and you can also throw in the occasional joke, as though she was your bratty little sister.
Don't make it obvious that you want to get back with her - just make things fun and happy.
  Remember The Happy Times   When you do talk about the relationship you once had, make sure to only talk about the happy times.
This'll help both of you associate each other with the things that make you smile and laugh, instead of the bitterness of the breakup.
When you start smiling again when you think of each other, then your chances of getting back together has increased dramatically.
  Of course, it'll be best if you let the relationship get back together naturally, instead of forcing the issue.
If you try to push the issue, it might backfire on you.
The best situation is when the two of you decide, out of the blue, that it might be a good idea to try again.
