Please Help Me Get My Ex Girlfriend Back

How many times do men ask their friends how do I get my ex girlfriend back? Truthfully, I thought it was a woman's prerogative to change her mind. A few men just do not know when they're onto a good thing and their reasons for ending relationships border on the absurd.

My male friends have finished with girls for:

1) wearing the wrong type of shoes!
2) Her mother
3) The new barmaid at his favorite bar smiled at him.

Now alright I know that a pretty face can turn any man's head and there's the dreaded notion that a woman might turn into her mother but come on guys - the wrong type of shoes? If women did not date men because of the clothes they were wearing the human race would have died off long ago. Behind every well dressed man is a good woman- in early life his mother and later his wife!

I always tell my men friends that they need to make a list before they break up with their spouses. On one side of the list, you put her good points. Do you find her interesting? Does she look after you? Does she cook for you? Does she laugh at your jokes? Are you attracted to her?

On the other side of the list, they could put the things that wind them up. All right she might nag at little too much but then if you put the toilet seat down she may stop. She might not want more than a snuggle every evening but 5 times a week does not mean that she isn't caring enough.

Writing the good and bad points of your life together down on paper might seem like a cold approach but it's a really practical way of seeing what a good relationship you do/did have. You need to compare the 2 lists and determine if you should be breaking up with this woman. If you're doing it after the event, it also helps to clarify if you made the right decision to finish the relationship. Occasionally we regret breaking up as we end up feeling lonely. But loneliness isn't a reason to get back together.

If you have dumped the lady in your life but now know it was the wrong decision you need to act fast. Great life partners don't grow on trees. She has shown that she will put up with you in all your glory - how many women would be mad enough to do that?

Take a leaf out Richard Gere's book and put some romance back into her life. Send her flowers - not a bunch of red roses but some of her favorites. Send her a handwritten letter telling her how much you love her and miss her. Book her favorite restaurant and treat her to a night out. In short, you need to treat her just like the princess you believe her to be and assuming you're not a complete disgrace, you will not have ask how to get my ex girlfriend back.
