Getting your ex back can seem like a daunting task, especially when you know it's so easy to make things worse. Having said that, how do you know what NOT to do when you are trying to win back your ex? Read on to find out the 7 deadly mistakes commonly made when trying to get your ex back. 1) Seeming Desperate. The first mistake most people make when they attempt to get their ex back is to become desperate. As soon as your Ex Partner sees your desperation they will be driven further away from you. People don't want to be in a relationship with someone who is 'needy' of love and attention all the time. 2) Begging/pleading. Similar to seeming desperate, begging and pleading will just succeed in showing an unwanted amount of reliance and need towards them, making them feel like they would be doing you a favour if they were to even consider taking you back. 3) Over communication. A common first reaction after a breakup is to send endless amounts of text messages, e-mails or voice messages explaining why you miss them so much and why they should take you back. This is a big mistake as people need to have their personal space respected, not to have it invaded with wave after wave of text messages. 4) Stalking. This is a big no-no. As soon as your ex partner finds out that you have been stalking them, consider your relationship terminated. Hopefully your relationship has not resorted to this, and if it has maybe you need to sit down and seriously re-think how you are going about it. 5) Ignoring them completely. Ignoring them completely can be just as destructive to a relationship in some situations as over communication. There is a common misconception going around that the first thing you should do after a breakup is to 'cut all contact off' with your ex. While this can work in some cases, it can spell the end in others because the person may just conclude you are not interested anymore and forget about you. 6) Acting Doomy and Gloomy. While your breakup may have hurt a lot (and chances are it most certainly has) nobody wants to be around a depressed person. Pick up your head and keep living life or you may see other relationships in your life suffer as well because of this. 7) Not Acting! The bottom line is if you want to Get Your Ex Back, you're going to have to act. Now that you've learned some of the things you shouldn't do, it's time to learn what you should do to make sure you Get Your Ex Back.

The idea of making yourself more desirable by making yourself less available doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it. After all, Juliet would have plunged a premature dagger into the heart of her romance with Romeo if she hid in her room rather than go out on her balcony. The end of Sleepless in Seattle shifts from "awww" to "aw, no" if one of the two main characters skips the trip to the Empire State Building. As these examples from fiction show, making yourself
