If you are still in love with your ex-boyfriend and want to get him back, you have probably already tried a number of things in order to do so. Thus far, you might have done the equivalent of getting down on your knees and begging to get him back. Or, you may have promised him that you would change your ways or do anything to please him again. However, this approach likely did not work - am I correct? This is because you need to preserve your sense of self-respect and dignity if you truly want him back.
If you are asking yourself, "How do I get my ex-boyfriend to love me again," you need to start by looking deeply into yourself and your own behaviors and actions. If you have been acting inappropriately, do yourself a favor and stop right away. After all, whatever you have been doing has not been working well. For example, if you tend to follow him around or show up everywhere you think he will be, he will perceive you as being creepy or like a stalker. These are not attractive qualities, I assure you! In the end, what you have been doing to get him back is probably what is driving him further away from you.
The next time bump into your ex-boyfriend accidentally at a restaurant, store, or other public place, it is important of course to at least acknowledge him. But, do not go up and demand his attention or get in his space. Rather, just approach him and say hi, then go back to whatever it was you were doing previously. Or, let him know that, out of respect for him and to make things less awkward, you are going to walk away from the situation and leave that place. Just be nice and polite about it, but leave. At the very least, your doing this will force him to see you in a new, more independent light.
It is important during this awkward, in-between time in your relationship that you avoid acting in any expected, predictable ways. Whatever inappropriate behaviors you may have been exhibiting since the breakup, stop them right away. If you have been calling him constantly, for example, just stop. If you have been dropping by to see him, do not do this anymore.
If you do call him once in a while, be calm and very polite. Assure him that you called because you care about him as a person and you want to make sure he is doing well. Then, just say goodbye and hang up. If you want him to love you again, you need to get him interested. Create a sense of mystery about your real intentions. At the end of a conversation, for example, you want him to wonder about what is really going on in your head and heart.
At some point in this process, it will be important to give your ex-boyfriend the chance to make a move and ask you out again. When he does, seize the opportunity and be ready to act. Take it slowly, but take positive steps toward being in love with him again.
