Claire Tourney
If you have been reading articles and looking for information about how to get your ex back you have probably encountered the advice to take a "cooling off" period which can last a month or longer.
So why is this such an important step if you are serious about wanting to get back together with your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend?
Allowing yourself a cooling off period will give you a chance to get a handle on your emotional state right now and help you to get through any desperate, panicky feelings you may be experiencing.
And it's important to allow yourself time to recover from the intense emotions that always surround a break up. You may still be very raw from the experience and this makes it harder to avoid all the major mistakes that make it much more difficult to get back together with your ex.
Taking a step back will give you a chance to analyze where the relationship went wrong and what needs to be changed, which is a necessary part of the process if you are going to be smart about winning your ex back.
It's also a good idea to realize that your fears of needing to do something right away or you might lose your ex forever are unfounded. It's never too late and the truth is trying to reconcile too soon will only backfire on you.
So while your initial reaction may be to keep in constant contact, it will only make things worse instead of better. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "absence makes the heart grow fonder." If you want to get back with your ex you need to give them time to miss you, and how can they miss you if you won't leave them alone?
And even if you are worried that your ex girlfriend or boyfriend may end up with someone else right now, the majority of rebound relationships don't last so it's important that you bide your time and make the right moves that are more likely to put the odds in your favor that you will get your ex back.
You need your ex to feel that you respect them, and that you understand their concerns, and start to miss you. A cooling off period will allow these things to happen, and giving your ex space and room to breath right now will also help you to appear more collected, calm and mature, even if you don't feel that way yet. These qualities will make you much more attractive to your ex, and it will be a lot easier to reopen the lines of communication when there's been more time and distance between both of you.
So use this cooling off period to your advantage. Get your emotions back together and start to work on the areas you need to change and then it will be time to begin planning a smarter strategy to get your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend back into your life.
