How do I get him back without seeming desperate?

tell him how you feel and be honest...honesty is the best way to go...if your honest they should not think your being desperate

Be honest and straightforward about your needs in a way that speaks from your heart. Point out the positive aspects of your relationship. Remember you can not make anyone do anything, you can only control what you do, how you respond. Be genuine and authentic to yourself.

There's no way to guarantee "getting him back;" relationships exist by mutual consent. However, you can let him know you want the relationship to continue without coming across as stalker-ish or clingy. Give him space - don't contact him more than once a day, and after a few contacts, leave it for a week or more. Be polite in your communications, rather than accusatory or demanding. Look for ways you can be together without pressure: attending a movie with mutual friends, or playing games together - something to remind him that he enjoyed being in your company before whatever happened that caused strife between you.

You guys need to talk about what both of you want of each other and the relationship. So both can know if is worth to keep going together.

Try to be friends first. Show him that you have no hard feelings and still care about him, but also let him see that you've got a life of your own. (People like confidence and emotional security.) Also, if he wants to get intimate, tell him you only do that in relationships and not just casually. Hope this helps!

A casual call or message and not the needy tone in the voice and a great attitude and right body posture

Getting back with an ex? Well as they say, you two broke up for a reason. Things didn't work out. If they want to get back with you, it wont be a struggle, it will be mutual.

The first question you need to ask yourself before pursuing him is "is this the right choice for me?". If your relationship was unfulfilling, abusive, or just not right for you in the first go-around, maybe choosing to take him back is not the best idea. What matters the most is your happiness. If you do decide pursuing him is right for you, a simple "Hi, how have you been?" is a good place to start. Show that you still care about him. Hope this helps! -SL

Focus on your life, do things that make you happy and just forget about him for a while. When he sees the vibrant and happy you, he will come back to you himself.

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