When you break up with someone you love, you go through lots of agonizing emotions. You feel depressed, hurt and sad, and you miss them. "What should I do to get back my ex?" becomes a question you constantly ask yourself.

There are several websites, books, blogs, forums and even courses designed to answer the question, "what should I do to get back with my ex?" But common sense can really make a difference after a breakup. And common courtesy can go long way toward healing your relationship.

If you're preoccupied with your lost relationship, wondering "what should I do to get back my ex?" then follow this simple advice. This will give you the best chance of getting back that special someone.

Don't play games. This is very important, but unfortunately many people resort to this during breakups in order to give themselves a sense of power. If you can make the other person believe that you don't care, or you care more than you really do, you're manipulating them and that can feel great. But it won't feel great for very long.

Eventually you'll realize that lying and tricking the other person can't result in a good feeling. And anything good that happens because of it will always be sullied in some way because of the lie.

Some people play games where they pretend to be dating someone else, or they pretend to be in love with someone else. This is a simple trick designed to make the ex jealous. While it does work now and then, other times it makes the breakup permanent because it backfires.

Your ex could be so jealous at the thought of you being with someone else that they want you back. Or they might just decide that since you moved on so quickly, you don't really care about them anyway. There is no way of knowing which result you'll end up with until it's too late.

Don't be mean. This holds true in any situation or any relationship, but quite often the anger around a breakup makes us lash out more viciously than we normally might. Even if you're hurt, the fact that you want to know, "What can I do to get back with my ex?" indicates that you're ready to extend forgiveness to that person. If you couldn't, you wouldn't want your ex back, you'd be glad it was over.

Now, ponder on how you've been acting. If you were your ex, would you be looking forward to talking to you or spending time with you? Or would you dread each encounter? Do you shout and nag? Even if you feel like engaging in all kinds of arguments, please don't. Work very hard at controlling your anger and hurt, and being a person they can miss.

"What can I do to get back my ex?" Be on your best behavior and make your ex remember what drew them to you from the beginning. They'll remember your better points and will miss them. Then you'll have a much better chance of being able to get back together with your ex.

These are just the beginning steps in winning your Ex back. They are the initial steps I followed when I lost the love of my life. And frankly these aren't my original ideas. I turned to T 'Dub' Jackson when I had no idea of how to get my true love back.

T 'Dub' authored a simple, down to earth step by step plan called "The Magic Of Making Up". And you know, it worked like magic for us. Now we are more in love than ever.
