Treat her as a friend. Of course, take some time before doing it again, but do try to make her fall in love again with dates, details, etc. And make sure she accepts them, maybe she feels awkward.

Not knowing the exact situation this is definitely a tough question to answer! But, I think that if you can show someone how you truly feel about them and make them understand how much they mean to you, you have a chance of getting them back! If it doesn't work out, always know that there will be many more people you meet in life!

For me, i'm quite open and honest so i would honestly just say, express your feelings to her. Tell her about how you feel, doesn't matter if you sound desperate, if you love her you will be desperate, Don't worry about feeling embarrssed, if you express how you feel you have more of a chance and you will only regret not saying something later on down the line. if she wants you back she will, but if she doesn't then i'm afraid the best thing to do is to move on, distract your mind

Don't rush things. Take your time but also give her time to remind her why she fell in love with you. Make her fall in love with you all over again.

'If you love her let her go." It's an old proverb for a reason. Significant Others are not boomerangs; we can't always expect them to come spiraling back. Everything happens for a reason and if it isn't meant to be, it isn't meant to be

Be up front and honest with her. If you truly lover her and want her back, you won't worry about seeming desperate. Honesty and communication is key!

If you do nothing, nothing can go wrong. Giving space and time to the situation can help with healing for self as well as the other side to process their thoughts. This process is hard and can take months or years

Take care of yourself first so you can be at your best, so you can be the best person for her and she'll realize the difference and start from there!

I guess girls like to see the full devotion to prepare to say yes. Whatever you have been and she have been, the relationship has had some strains and both had hurt. Now think about the positive note. Do you know someone has to make a start! So it might be you or her. What matters is if their is any EGO then it's not gonna work at all.

Be yourself.. True to your heart and to her. Don't push yourself.... You'll get her back someday....

I would suggest to maybe give her a little slack if you know what i mean. Let her be and let her have some time to herself so you don't seem clingy. I would suggest after you have done that, to occasionally message her, try to spark up a conversation. Ease your way back to her but do not come on too strong. If she doesn't answer you back right away or within an hour, just let her be. She will eventually come around. If she doesn't at fist, then again, just let her be to herself. Sometimes us girls need that. Good luck.

I think a better thing to ask is how can I accept that she isn't in my life anymore? It's hard to "give up" your dreams for the person you desire but you may end up being healthier mentally and emotionally if you do.

Talk to her! Become friends and be honest with her! At the end of the day you'll either gain her back as a friend or gain her as a girlfriend again, what have you got to lose? Honesty is key in all relationships, just don't say "I'm nothing without you" or something corny, try "can we try us again and see if it works out?" Etc! Good luck!

Find ways to spend time with her, think about why it is you two broke up in the first place, and try to change things for the better. Because getting her back is one thing, but keeping her requires work on both ends. Also, dont go begging her to get back with you

The best thing is to seem happy, don't show her you're bothered by it. When she sees that you can be good on your own then you can start trying to get back with her

Show her that you've changed for the better and if she's willing to give it another shot, you are too

The question is... why do you want her back? Well... be nice, give her space, be genuine, go for it.

Unfortunately, you can only control you, not her! So there's not a guarantee that you will get her back. With that said, if you want to avoid seeming deperate, make sure not to be too busy. Be honest and direct and then let her make her own decision. It can be hard to be patient and see what happens, but it may be necessary.

If you want her back, you should try it, but If she's not interested in you, the best thing you can do it's erase her and start again

Show her you care subtly. If you ever see her upset, comfort her, offer your help. Also, there is nothing wrong with harmless flirting, if you bump into her say hello and smile.

This one can be complicated. If you don’t know how she feels, talk about it face to face. How we if you know she’s not into you, then remind her of the memories you’ve had together.

You can't get her back unless that's what she wants too, and it's unlikely she'll fall for you again if you're desperate, clingy or negative about yourself. She'll only be attracted if you are attractive. Give her time and space to clear her head, and same for you. Move on from her for now and start working on yourself to be a stronger and happier person. Work on the areas that she doesn't like and try to improve -- for example it can be being more optimistic, more patient, etc. Life will bring you two back together if you are meant to be. Good luck :)

Perhaps give it some time and see if this is best for you and is truly what you want. If so think on why you lost her and what you can do this time to keep her. Also flowers never hurt, besides Valentines Day is approaching.

Tell her how you feel. You won't seem desperate, your simply showing her that you want her back, and that's a good thing because it shows you care

Tell her the truth and how you feel. She shouldn't think your desperate because your being honest. Honesty is the best policy,

if you really want this girl back then you wouldn't mind sounding desperate, you need to show her how much she means to you and that you would do anything to have her back

Easy answer: You don't! You broke up for a reason, remember that. I'm sure there were good times, but once it gets to the point that you've broken up there's probably too much to bring it back.
