“The Houdini Effect” vs “Staying Friends”

Trust everyone enjoyed their Christmas break and New Year.

I enjoyed the countdown into the new year watching the amazing the fireworks in Sydney harbour.

This year, the first time ever on my resolution list was to lose weight. I’ve put on 5kg’s over Christmas and am sure my better half wasn’t far behind.

Anyway, today I want to give you an inside look at the two most basic methods of getting back your ex. All other methods out there are merely a variation of these two methods.

They are:

  1. The Houdini Effect (disappearing from your ex’s life)
  2. Ride the Friend Thing

Now, many folk ask me which is the better of these two methods. But, there is no clear-cut answer here.

I’ll always sit on the fence and say they both work.

Here’s why…

People are a complex thing. There’s no arguing that.

Each ex will respond differently to these methods, and there’s no real way to know for sure which will work best in your situation with YOUR ex until you try it.

Sometimes it pays to do the ‘ol Houdini disappearing act and cut off ties from your ex. Other times it pays to remain friends and regrow that special bond between the two of you.

BUT… be careful.

Some ex’s will continue to Ride the Friend Thing for many moons, and as a result, you’ll forever remain their friend without getting back to that lover’s stage that you desperately want.

So my suggestion is to try both these techniques.

Ride the Friend Thing for four weeks, then if no luck, continue onto the Houdini Effect.

The Houdini Effect gives your ex a reason to miss hearing from you. Don’t email, don’t text message, and don’t accidentally bump into them if you know their movements.

CAUTION though about Riding the Friend Thing.

If your ex is the type that is happy to accept you as their friend so they can sleep with you when feeling horny etc., then you need to cut off ties. Don’t remain their friend. Move onto the Houdini Effect.

Your ex is likely trying to meet a new partner whilst sleeping with you, and you’ll be wasting your time, waiting for your ex to accept you back. And when your ex finds a new partner, you’ll find yourself with no-one and miserable with your life.

Remaining friends will only prolong the pain you feel.

So there you go. You need to choose the right option – remain friends OR disappear from your ex’s life for the time being.

Choose one of these options that best suits your feelings at the time.

I go into more about choosing the right option in my video training lessons.

Cheers and have a great year!
