I think it's important to recognize that when relationships start, we're attracted to someone for who they are. But sometimes relationships change, and we change within them. The best thing to do, fresh out of any relationship - and even when you're still in them - is to stay true to yourself. Reconnect with valued friends and family, spend time doing things that make you feel happy and fulfilled. Reconnect with you are as a person. If you and that person are meant to be, you'll come back together. If not, by doing these things, you'll meet someone more along you interests, someone closer to your place in life, someone who shares the same values. It's never too late to "do you."

You show him you still care, but don't bug him. Don't text him "good morning" say something like "hey". If he doesn't reply don't send double texts. Just let him know you still care but can do fine without him.

That old saying "time heals everything" could have some truth behind it. I don't think "space" is always the answer, but when appropriate it can help. It all depends on what drove him (or you) away in the first place. Every situation is different. From personal experience, I've found that constantly texting and reaching out can drive him further away. Let him miss you and realize what he lost, eventually he will find his way back. Patience is key.

Try and talk to him about how you're feeling. Ask him if he is willing to try and fix the issues or problems you guys were having in the relationship.

No contact until he contacts. Go on with your life as usual no extra no less. No over doing or under doing. And when he comes back just listen calmly what he has to say, then keep your point across but not harshly and show understanding and compassion. Don't except him to say sorry again and again. If he apologizes be kind and don't accuse and put your feelings across. And all will fall in place.

Well? The fact that you want to "get him back" is in itself a sign of dependence. And well? If you do have any good valid reasons then you can always try talking to him and see if he agrees to give it another chance, if not, you'll unfortunately let time heal your heart.

Tell him how you feel...accept his decisions.......be patient and just have faith. If it's meant to be it will be.

Tell him how you feel. If you truly love him, you won't worry about seeming desperate. You have to be honest and up front with, about your feelings.

You can get him back without seeming desperate by just talking to him from time to time and then suggest hanging out then gradually start talking more and then try to make him like you again and suggest going out again.

First, reflect on your relationship with the said person when you're not sad or overwhelmed with emotions. Was that person good to you? Is the reason of your break-up valid and making sense or did it happen in a heat of the moment? If the break-up had a serious and valid reason and or if that person doesn't have feelings for you anymore, leave it be. If it didn't try to talk to your ex privately and see if you can work things out. Good luck!
