There's no sure fire way to make somebody do anything they don't want to do short of torture (always an option) but there are some things that may just work...

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Determination
  • Imagination
  • Patience
  1. Step 1

    Whatever your communication level with your ex, back off immediately! There's nothing more likely to make your ex stay where he or she is than knowing they have a partner and an ex who adore them. If you back off then it puts them on a back foot, and they may start to think about you a little more.

  2. Step 2

    Re-vamp yourself. Go to the gym, buy new clothes, do your hair, your nails your everything.

  3. Step 3

    Do something new, any exciting activity or quick new skills you can learn such as sky diving, throwing a pot, appearing on TV. Anything that gives you a different edge. Particular if it's something that your ex can find out about from another source. This makes you interesting and appealing.

  4. Step 4

    Be seen with or let them know you're seeing someone else. Preferably someone who they see as a rival or at the very least someone wonderful and gorgeous. Pay this person if you need to.
    Nothing drives a person more crazy than knowing something they had is now in the possession of someone else

  5. Step 5

    Find a way to bump into them very, very casually and be a bit friendly but very casual and aloof. Do not make plans with them or mention that you miss them or give them any indication that you are still interested in them as anything other than a friend. But be friendly and polite.

  6. Step 6

    Be friendly and optimistic as much as you're able to as these are attractive qualities that shine through and put a positive spin on life

  7. Step 7

    Be patient. If you continue to shine and be fabulous, your ex will eventually realise what he or she is missing and come back to you! Don't be put off if it takes some time and don't let your resolve waiver as the best things can take time to achieve.

  8. Step 8

    Be prepared. It may be that your ex really does love their new partner and no amount of tempting or manipulation will win them back. In which case you're already so fabulous and sought after you should be fighting off potential suitors.

Tips & Warnings
  • A lot of these actions are designed also to make you feel good about yourself, which should stop you feeling like you need your ex in your life. Desperation can sometimes be off putting and ultimately work against you. Of course they are also designed to have your ex falling at your feet
  • Don't despair if it doesn't work out in the end. Time heals all - I should know I'm in the same boat!
