In their effort to get back their girlfriend, most men made mistakes that they should have avoided at all costs - if only they knew it.

Mistake No. 1, treat the girlfriend overly nice. Have you heard of the saying that "nice guys (or girls) finish last"? Now, do you get it? You just cannot be too nice to your partner and go along with everything she says. If you act this way, you will never get a great relationship. Remember, every good story has conflicts. There is always good and bad, black and white, "ying" and "yang". Conflicts make a relationship interesting. At times, friction creates sparks to the relationship. If you are overly nice to your girlfriend, you will not get back your girlfriend as she'll find the relationship BORING.

Mistake No. 2, trying to use logic to get back the girlfriend. You have to understand. Nobody can convince another person to like or love him/her. You cannot use logic to argue and try to get back with your girlfriend by using logical arguments. Relationship or emotions just do not work this way. A person heart is not logical. It is beyond what reasoning can explain.

Mistake No. 3, trying too hard to get back the girlfriend, as if saying, "please come back to me. I'll do anything for you if you just get back with me..". Now, read my lips, "NO. YOU SHOULD NEVER DO THAT!". You have to always remember, that will not produce a romantic relationship. It'll only turn you into a "slave" of the relationship for a short time. After that, they will lost respect for you and there go their interest in you.

Mistake No. 4, showering the ex girlfriend with flowers and gifts. Flowers or gifts are only telling someone that you like/love him/her. It does not attract love or make people to like you. Flowers or gifts would not buy you love or help you getting your girlfriend back. In fact, it only tells your ex girlfriend that you do not think you are good enough to be taken back on your own merits that you have to enhance the package with flowers and gifts to win back your ex.

Mistake No. 5, saying too much of "I love you". I know, it is so easy to want to tell your ex how much you love them, thinking that they will make them come back to you instantly. This is so wrong. Showering your ex with "I love you" every 5 minutes will not help you. It is not romance. If not taken correctly, it could be a nuisance to your ex and push your ex girlfriend away from you.
