What to Do When Your Girlfriend Broke Up With You and You Still Love Her

Breaking up with the woman you are in love with can be horrendous. It's hard to watch her walk out of your life knowing that you still feel so much for you. When your girlfriend broke up with you, you probably started asking yourself what went wrong and what you can do now to remedy the situation. Even though it may feel as though any chance of a future with her has been lost, that doesn't have to be the case. Many couples that break up at one time go on to have long lasting, fulfilling relationships.

There's a few things you must do if you want to get your ex girlfriend back. You have to begin by showing her respect. When your girlfriend broke up with you if she asked you to give her some time and space to think, don't badger her with calls or emails. Quite often when a couple separates it's that time apart that convinces them both that they really do belong together. Part of the reason you don't want to be contacting her endlessly is that you want her to miss you. A good rule of thumb is to try and refrain from any contact at all for at least two weeks. This may feel torturous to you but it's incredibly important in the plan to get her back.

Don't try the tactic of trying to make your ex girlfriend jealous. This will almost always backfire on you. When your girlfriend broke up with you it may have caused you to feel some anger and resentment. In the heat of the moment dating someone else and ensuring your ex knows about it seems like a great idea. The problem with this approach is that your girlfriend might take your dating to mean you got over her very quickly and have moved on. This really damages any chance you have of getting her back. She'll likely decide the relationship really is over and move on to someone new.

Buying her gifts might seem like a great gesture but it's also not something you want to be doing. When the two of you were together small gifts or flowers may have been part of the dynamic of your relationship. When your girlfriend broke up with you that part of the relationship ended. Sending her something now may be misinterpreted by her and she may assume that you are doing it was a way to make peace. Chances are that she'll be insulted if she thinks you are trying to erase any problems you two have with just a gift. It's best to wait until you are back together before you shower her with tokens of your affection again.
