The First Step in Getting Him Back
The psychology of men and women are very different when you look at how relationships work on a psychological level. There are simply differences in how men and women think and process the relationship. For instance, men initially rely heavily on the part of the brain that is excited by physical attraction, where women can be stimulated easier by other areas such as connection, comfort, and personality. Fortunately, men also have emotional triggers that are more powerful than anything else.
Much advice out there on getting back with your ex is geared at men. But the truth is that the same advice cannot be applied for both sexes.
So what does actually work for women? You must understand the relationship dynamic from a root level and be able to push his emotional “hot buttons.” The age old saying of “you always want what you can’t have” applies in this situation. Flipping the situation to make your man think that he was the one to be rejected can have incredible results. However, this must be done exactly the right way.
Using logic or arguing with him doesn’t work, and may actually just push him away. Have you already tried that? Have you noticed how no matter what you say, he just seems to find an excuse or not care?
At this point, its best to just leave it alone. This tactic doesn’t work and you are going to need a new approach. First, start out by dropping contact. You need to start creating an illusion in his mind to set him up for emotional hot-button pushing.
When you drop contact (after you’ve been calling / emailing / texting back and forth for months), his mind will begin to wonder what’s going on in your life. His mind will unavoidably start wondering and questions will start to form uncontrollably. He may start thinking, “why is she not calling?, Is she dating someone else? What is she doing with all her time?” These thoughts may not permeate immediately, but after a little while (1-2 weeks) they will start to come to him. These thoughts may start permeating into other areas of his emotional being where he can start to miss you… and that is right where you want him.
If he is at that stage, it still doesn’t mean he will contact you. Don’t worry. Men can sometimes place high value on not being “needy” or “trying.” If you call him, he may immediately go back to the mentality that you want him back… YES, even with ONE phone call, he may think this. You are trying to turn the tables and make him feel like HE is the one being rejected, and until you really achieve this, there is no way to change his mind.
So we must build up more. I don’t recommend that you actively avoid him (Don’t delete him on Facebook for instance) because that would seem like you are “reacting” to the situation. You want it to really seem like you “don’t care” either, and plus, leaving you “contactable” makes room for more anxiety about reuniting. It will eventually make him fantasize about how you can and will get back together.
There is much more to come, however this is maybe the most IMPORTANT step in starting to get your ex back.
