If you are still in love with your ex but are not sure if things are completely over for good, you can take heart that many relationships have been revived.
What you do not want to do is give up hope of ever getting them back, because it is possible to do it.
Many times people think the relationship is over but find that they can work it out and try again.
Before you go pursuing your ex, you need to make sure you want to get back with them for the right reasons.
Do you want them back because you are possessive or you want control over them? Or maybe you were in an abusive relationship, which you definitely don't want to get back into.
Either of these scenarios could be trouble for you.
If the break up was over something like a misunderstanding or lack of trust then you would have a chance at getting them back.
If you are still in love with your ex, the two of you must have had a strong foundation and it's possible your ex still loves you and is thinking about you.
If a few weeks have passed since the break up then you should give them a call and ask if there is a chance you could talk with them.
Don't sound desperate or plead for them to meet you.
Make it sound casual and that you would just like to meet at some neutral location to talk.
If they agree to the meeting then you need lay out a plan of action for what you are going to say and do.
Your ultimate goal is to see if the two of you have a chance to reunite and what needs to be done to achieve that.
Absolutely do not bring up anything that will create anger or start an argument.
Let you ex voice their opinions and express them self, do not correct them.
Then give your ex the time to think over what was discussed.
