I'm Trying to Get Back With My Ex - What Should I Do?

I think I did a great mistake when I decided to call it quits. My life has lost its direction and eventually became miserable after that day on. Now, I'm trying to get back with my ex but I don't know what to do.

I have already tried pulling all possible ways I know to gain her back. I have drawn all resources I have just to win her heart back. I have asked my friends to help me. True to their nature as friends, they gave me several pieces of advice. One said that I should try being a slave for her, even for just a day. According to him, it may never always work but at least it shows my sincerity and love for her. Another suggested that since I'm trying to get back with my ex, I have to start all over again. It never hurts, according to him, to start from the scratch. Start giving her flowers or just small gifts, or just as simple as a letter which I was not used to do when we were still together. Still another insinuated that I should to be more romantic to win her love back. But all my friends agreed on one solid idea - I should be willing to give up my ego if I'm trying to get back with my ex seriously. I should be ready to do some cheesy stuff, like what others do, which I used to laugh at.

I have also tried seeking advice from the radio program that I listen to everyday, but of course, with my name unrevealed. The anchors, together with their avid listeners, shared their different points of view. I have also tried surfing in the internet for posts, even joined internet forums, which tackles the same problem as I have now. All their answers are almost the same. I have to revitalize myself. Ask myself what I did that should not be done that could have contributed to the failure of our relationship to work out fine. Are they trying to tell me that I was the reason why my relationship with my ex ended up that way?

Well, in some sort, yes. They have a point. I think I have been so childish. Immature, so to speak. That is one of the myriads of reasons why I'm trying to get back with my ex, even though I may be sounding and looking like so desperate.

One idea popped out of my mind, though. I'm trying to get back with my ex so why not make her jealous? A brilliant idea! A reversed psychology. It works well with both men and women most of the time. Pretending that I am fine after the breakup and acting like she did not matter at all would be a fantastic scene. That will definitely hurt her pride. And when she snaps, I might get the chance I have been waiting for. But that is too risky. What if my ex does not love me anymore and she does not even care if I am in a new relationship too soon? I will just hurt myself.

Desperate as it may seem, but I'm trying to get back with my ex that I am looking for all possible ways to do so. Time, money, and effort I have spent just to collect ideas and tips on how I am going to win her back. I'm trying to get back with my ex and I have found the answer. But where am I going to start?
