It is often that a couple breaks up and one of them feels that they are still in love with their ex. It could have been a long term relationship and there was a lot of themselves invested in it. It can definitely be hard to let someone go after all that time. Even someone in a short term relationship can be let down because they may have felt they finally found the one that they could be with forever and now it's gone.
If you are in this position, you may be asking how can I get my ex back? You are still in love with them and feel that there is still a chance of making it work. Look at why you have broke up, do see what it was that went wrong in the first place and will it happen again if you do get back together? If you think that the two of you are supposed to be together then it may just happen, but don't force it. You want to let these kinds of things happen naturally.
If you do start to talk again, do not look like your intentions are to get them back. Just be casual about things and act like you are doing great on your own. You are going to find that it will not be the same the second time around because there could be some tension that needs to be dealt with. The two of you will have to relearn each other all over again so it may work in your favor to be good friends first then let things go from there.
You do not want a repeat relationship from before so do what you can to make yourself a better person. Improve or change your looks by way of hairstyle or clothes for example. Get out more with your friends and enjoy yourself, feeling better about yourself will boost you confidence and make you more appealing. When you get back together with your ex, be careful that neither of you make the same mistakes you did last time around, learn from your mistakes.
