Think long and hard about why you broke up in the first place. You might just be feeling lonely and not necessarily missing the actual relationship. Look back on some of the not-so-nice moments and consider whether you are willing to revisit those emotions.
-
2
Communicate gradually. Prove that you respect his space by limiting your contact to times and days that are good for him. Also avoid calling after you have been drinking-it will only annoy him and lessen your chances of being taken seriously.

3
Stay humble, even if he was the one that broke up with you. Holding an obvious grudge will only make him question your intentions. Instead, be polite and sincerely listen to what he has to say, whether it's positive or not.
-
4
Show that you have learned from the past. Obviously your relationship was in trouble if it ended but harping on those same issues (no matter how minor) won't help the situation. Shelve your feelings about the past and promise to wipe the slate clean.
-
5
Play up your positive attributes. There must have been some memorable things that sparked your relationship, so don't be afraid to exploit them. If he went wild over a pair of shoes or if he loved the way you spoke his name, make it a point to do those things whenever you're together.

6
Tread carefully with the physical aspect of your relationship. Start slowly by asking him to meet you somewhere public and once you are both comfortable in that environment, slowly move into a more private setting. It may take some time, but this will give you the opportunity to re-establish your comfort zones without feeling the pressures of intimacy.

7
Reconsider your strategy if he has already moved on to a new relationship. Whether it is serious or not, back off until he returns your requests for contact. Being pushy under such circumstances will only backfire.
