Your ex is dating someone else. Logically you knew that it was bound to happen eventually. Emotionally it's completely tearing you apart inside. It's helped you to come to the realization that you are still so much in love with them. But what now? Have you waited too long to try and get them back? Is there still a chance you can steal them back even though they're with someone new? If you're determined because you believe that they're really the right partner for you, you can change the situation and get them back. It's certainly not going to be super simple but when it comes to love it's all about doing whatever it takes to ensure you don't lose it forever.

If your ex is dating someone else, acceptance is the order of the day. Getting upset about it or wishing it weren't true won't change a thing. The fact of the matter is that your ex moved on and has now seemingly gotten over you. You have to realize that's what's happened. If you can do that you'll get yourself into a good and strong place emotionally. You'll have a clearer vision of what you need to accomplish and you'll also make fewer mistakes along the way.

You need to re-establish a connection with your ex and obviously, for the moment, it's not going to be one of lovers. That's why approaching them from a purely platonic place is so helpful. You need to call them up and strike up a generic conversation with them. Ask how they are, inquire about their work and then you're going to take the plunge and ask about their new partner. You must sound in control and casual when you do this. Be polite when they answer and do your level best to sound as sincere as you possibly can. This will help by showing your ex that you aren't jealous and you don't feel threatened in the slightest by the new person.

Most people are willing to have a friendship with their ex even if they're already dating someone new. Be respectful of the new partner but at the same time cement yourself in the position as trusted friend and number one supporter. Your ex will begin to see you as someone they can confide in and that's going to include confiding in you about their new love. Stay strong and helpful and in time when the cracks begin to show in that relationship you'll be the person your ex goes to for moral and emotional support. Once they break up your lover will come right back to you with open arms.
