Relationships don’t always end well. If it’s been long since you stopped talking with your ex-boyfriend for quite a while now and you miss him but refuse to start a conversation for whatever reason(we won’t judge), we got you. These dos and don’ts will guide you to subtly get your ex to notice you without being all over the place and maybe even overstepping his/her personal space.
11) DO workout and take better care of yourself.
Remember when you said you didn’t have time for this? Now that you’re not in a relationship anymore, you’ve got plenty! It is the perfect time to incorporate exercise into your daily routine.
DON’T post gym photos, post results instead.
If you’re only thinking about going to the gym just so you can take selfies there, you’re missing the point. The point is to feel better by staying fit while also looking better in your new physique.
10) DO like/comment on his posts.
That’s if you really find it funny, relate to it, or it reminds you of something.
DON’T like/comment on all of his posts.
You don’t want to be called out as creepy or crazy, don’t you? There’s more to life than his timeline.
9) DO share something that reminds you of him in a private message.
Increase the chances of starting a conversation by doing so.
DON’T tag him on a post.
Your mutual friends will see what you did it. So unless you want to be the talk of the town, then be my guest.
8) DO revisit the places you went together in the past and post it on social media.
Specifically, the one you’ve had great memories at as it will also remind him of that day.
DON’T don’t go there with a new guy and post it on social media.
It will seem like you’re trying to erase all your memories together which isn’t good if you want him back. Besides, you can always make new memories with new people in new places.
7) DO keep in touch with his friends.
Sure, he introduced you to them but you only broke up with one person. Your relationship with his friends is a different story.
DON’T flirt with his friends.
Come on, there are plenty of dicks in this world. Don’t be one.
6) DO organize a dinner with your circle of friends.
Only when you’re ready to see him, not when you’re almost always on the verge of crying about him with non-waterproof mascara.
DON’T cancel when he can’t come.
Show him that not everything’s about him.
5) DO grab drinks with him with or without friends.
Pull yourself together and stay casual. It’s just another night out.
DON’T get fake drunk and be pathetic.
Keep in mind that you’re a strong independent woman who can control her alcohol.
4) DO let him know that life went on even without him.
You’ve probably changed, yes. That’s because you never stopped growing even when you had your heart broken.
DON’T say it directly and/or out of nowhere.
Losing him wasn’t the end of the world but the fact that you had to tell him devalues everything you’ve worked hard for. You already proved your point even without saying it so best to keep your distance and let him watch from afar.
3) DO upgrade yourself.
Now that you won’t be updating a significant other with your every move and spending weekends on dates, you’re left with plenty of time to learn and be involved with new things to explore. Chances are he’ll hear about you thru his friends (or friend of a friend, but he’ll surely get the news).
DON’T do it for him, but for yourself.
When you upgrade yourself, you’ll be way out of his league that you won’t need him anyway (with a slight chance of still missing him, tho).
2) DO get back on the dating scene.
Only when your heart is ready and intentions are pure.
DON’T date someone new just to make him jealous.
His eyes aren’t on you anymore. He won’t be watching, snap out of it.
1) DO get his attention.
Besides, you really miss even the silliest conversations you’ve had with him and the littlest things you shared together.
DON’T try to win him back.
What’s meant to be yours will be yours, no need to force it.
Supposedly none of these or being subtle about it failed, then let it be. You never have to overdo trying to catch his attention because he wouldn’t ignore you in the first place if he wanted to stay. Everything happens for a reason, be patient on what fate is preparing you for. Nothing may seem to make any sense right now but they definitely will soon enough.
