Obviously your ex will try to show that they are not affected or bothered by the break up and will avoid you for a number of days.
Well don't get disheartened! In the mean time make the most of this precious time.
The short break has come as a blessing so make the best of the opportunity to get your ex back even though they are avoiding you at the moment.
1.
Take on a new look Get back into shape so that you catch everyone's attention and everyone around you vies for your attention at the same time.
With this newly attained figure and form everyone's eyes will be on you and everyone will talk about how good and great you're looking suddenly.
2.
Keep out of the way of your ex Take no initiative to contact your ex for some time.
Leave your ex to do as he or she pleases.
They too need that space as much as you need your space.
Do not be seen in places frequented by your ex or be seen in the company of common friends either.
3.
Make the most of your free time It's time to live life the way you want.
Spend your time the way you like, go to the places you've wished to visit.
Show that you are not dependent on anyone to take you around.
4.
Keep your ex guessing By now your ex must be left high and dry wondering what you are up to and whether you'll come back to them or not.
But keep them guessing.
You too need your break and need to do the things you've been missing.
When your ex finds that you are not missing them or are not perturbed by this situation of breaking up they will wonder if you mean business.
They obviously will not wish this break up for good and in spite of them having avoided you initially; they will now try to get back with you.
