I dumped my boyfriend and now I want him back.
Does this sound just like you? Did you break things off with your boyfriend only to realize that you made a mistake and now you want him back? If the answer is yes, don't panic.
We all make mistakes and although this is a really big one, it's possible that it can be undone.
You can get your boyfriend back if you're prepared to put in the effort to make that happen.
Although you do indeed have a challenge ahead of you, with the right insight and perseverance you can have him back and deeper in love with you than he ever was before.
The first and arguably most important step you need to take if you dumped your boyfriend and now want him back is to apologize to him.
You need to tell him that you're sorry that it happened and then you need to determine why it happened.
Sometimes we get so caught up in focusing on a person's negative qualities, that we lose sight of all the positive ones.
This can often happen in a relationship and the result is the woman dumps her boyfriend over some small thing he does that she finds unappealing.
You need to weigh the positive against the negative and make a conscious decision to focus only on the positive things about him.
If you want a reunion to be successful, you have to get over whatever caused you to break things off initially.
You also need to work at regaining his trust and affection.
This can feel overwhelming but it's well worth it if your goal is to get him back.
Start by asking him to be your friend.
Make it clear that you have no expectations of anything more than friendship and you want to prove to him that you still care about him.
Then you need to follow through on that by being as supportive as you can be without constantly dragging up the past.
Be available to him if he needs you but don't pry into his life.
He'll eventually see that you're there for him and it will help him open up to you again.
Once that happens, you can then work on rebuilding the romance.
