Here is the cold reality of trying to win back an ex girlfriend: Not every guy is going to be able to make it happen. There are so many reasons for this, as all relationships are unique, but the fact is, not every guy is going to be able to win back his ex girlfriend no matter how bad he wants it to happen. With that being said though, there are a lot of situations that can be turned around and you CAN get her back, as long as you know what you are doing and you are prepared to go through the steps that you need to take.

;Here are three things that you need to think about if you want to know if you can get your girlfriend back:

;1. Have you been harassing her and hounding her for attention since the break up?

;If so, then you have got to stop as soon as you can, meaning like right now. See, the longer that you go around trying to get her attention any way that you can think of, the more likely it is that she is just going to get fed up with you and not want to have a thing to do with you. Instead of hounding her for attention and harassing her, you need to show her that you can deal with this maturely, and also that you don't need to have her in your life to be happy and doing just fine.

;2. Have you decided already that you will not experience other women?

;This might come as a shock to you, but you are much more likely to win back an ex girlfriend if you are NOT stuck on her and only her. When you feel like she is the only possible woman in the world that can make you happy, she becomes too important to you. And when that happens, you cannot help but to put her on a pedestal and feel like you need to prove that you are worthy of her. Keep your options open and don't be afraid to experience other women. It might just help you to get your girlfriend back.

;3. Are you able to handle all of the emotions that come with trying to get her back?

;Most guys don't like to talk or even think about emotions, but it is inevitable that you are going to experience some not so pleasant ones if you try to get her back. Even if you are doing all of the right things, she is still going to confuse you from time to time and make you wonder if it is ever going to happen. If you cannot handle those kinds of emotions that are going to come up, then you are not really ready to win back your girlfriend.
