he's back

That’s the email I got this morning when I woke up. I quickly emailed the guy back telling him to STOP contacting his ex ASAP until he get’s he’s head cool and composed again.

Would you go to your ex’s house and ring their doorbell 27 times in a night? Likely not… so don’t do the equivalent with text messages and emails.

It will just make you look really, really desperate and an all time loser.

So, the question is,

Can Text Messages Work To Get Your Ex Back?

They sure can!

With all the new technology sprouting up these days, one has to wonder if there are clever ways to use it to get back with an ex.

The most commonly used is cell phone texting. In fact, I have friends who use their cell phones more for texting than talking!

Here are some ideas you can try.

Make ‘Em Jealous

I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s too good to not mention again.

Send your ex a text message “by mistake”. This text should be the kind of text you’d send to someone after a great date.

Think along the lines of “Had a great time with you – let’s catch up again soon!”

When your ex texts back, you can be all apologetic and bashful. Explain that you caught up with someone whose name is just above or below theirs in your contact list.

Be Thoughtful

Send a text to your ex to wish them a happy birthday or good luck on a business trip.

If your ex’s parents are text-savvy, send them a text with best wishes for a birthday or anniversary.

These tiny texts require no response, so they are very low-pressure for the person receiving them. But they make a big impact – they say that you are thoughtful and care to send good vibes their way. (This one is also very effective if you got dumped and your ex complains you weren’t thoughtful or forgot important occasions.)

Be Persistently There

This one only works if done by itself. If you combine it with other communication tricks, it will backfire. Now that you’ve been warned…

Every day or two, send your ex ONE text message. This should be at the same time every day, preferably either in the morning when they wake up or in the evening before their bedtime.

It should be a simple text message without strings attached.

• “Good morning Sarah. I hope you have a wonderful day.”
• “Geez… what a busy day. Look forward to the weekend. Sweet dreams and hope you enjoy your weekend too.”

Don’t do it everyday. Break it up and sometimes miss a day. That way they will be waiting for your text message, and then when it doesn’t arrive, your ex will feel like their day wasn’t quite complete.

Try these text tricks to show your ex that you care and are worthy of being back in their life.

If you know of any other text tricks that have worked for you, then I would love to hear about them.
