If you're recently-turned-single and not exactly content with that situation, there are a number of things you can do to get your ex back. Not everything has to be really difficult, either. There are 3 fairly simple things you can do to "grease the wheels" of getting back together, and you can get started immediately!

1) One of the things to get your ex's attention and make a few thoughts flutter through his/her head is to not let yourself fall apart. By this I mean...stay hot! Look your absolute best possible, and don't be afraid to advertise it. Keep in shape, max out your hygiene, and dress sharp!

Keeping up your appearance has at least two positive effects. The first is obvious...looking good never hurt anyone's chances for getting attention, as far as I know. The second is because of that...getting attention from other people is going to get attention from your ex. If you hit the clubs, and your ex happens to see you looking good and getting hit on left and right...it's going to push that Interest Button again.

2) Another fantastic way to impress your ex is to stay on the public scene. Keep up and at it, doing stuff with your friends and living life, rather than just letting a breakup destroy you. A lot of people get really depressed after a breakup, and there's nothing wrong with that...but there IS a lot wrong with letting it rule you.

Make sure you keep social, and have an active life outside of the four walls of your living room. Not letting the hurt take you down to far is a very respectable thing and can instill some admiration in your ex's eyes. It may not be obvious, but chances are good that your ex is hurting over it too, and leading with a strong example shows a strength that could easily draw him/her to you again.

3) In my experience, probably the strongest way to revitalize your ex's interest is to have a one-on-one talk with yourself and really commit yourself to making a few changes. I know it's harsh, but if your ex dumped you it's reasonable to assume there was a problem with how you handled the relationship. I can't tell you what that was, because I don't know you or your partner, but you CAN figure out what it was and fix it.

This is a tall order, I know...nobody changes overnight, and it can be hard to do it at all. I've been there myself, I know how hard it is...but it is doable. I promise you, if you make all this effort and make the changes required to stop feeding the problems that caused your break up, your ex will look at you with a newfound respect.

It's not against all odds to get your ex back...there may be a few things against you, but there are also quite a few in your favor. With these 3 tips, and a hearty helping of self-motivation, you have an excellent shot at fixing your relationship and getting your ex back.
