When your relationship has broken up and your ex starts to ignore you, it probably just means that they are in need of some space to themselves. An ex needing time out is not uncommon at all and it can be caused by many different reasons including the fear of commitment, problems in the family , or even their own insecurities. But this does not necessarily mean the end for your relationship, so here are some tips to help bring them back.

Tip One - Keep your pride intact no matter what happens and keep in mind that you love them. It won't hurt to play a little hard with your ex to make them realize that it was their actions that caused the split in the first place.

Tip Two - Attempt a casual conversation if you think that your ex may still have feelings for you. But keep the conversation short and sweet to avoid discussing anything too painful. Respect that they are wanting some space and a brief chat in passing is often the best way to keep that respect.

Tip Three - If you continue to respect their wishes, it is likely that they will respect you back and give the opportunity to have a proper chat at some stage. When the opportunity does arise, stick to dicussing only the happier memories between you. Bringing up any negative memories will only bring up negative feelings with it.

Tip Four - If you do not get a reaction to your subtle movements to get them back, you must acknowledge this for what it is. And, it will be either of two things, they are not interested in rekindling the romance, or they actually do just need more space, which you should again respect. But if they are looking more interested in you, then you should continue slowly increasing the amount of contact you have had to save the relationship.

Tip Five - If you are getting all the right signals, you can open right up to them. Explain how things are for you but be careful to keep any desperation you may have out of your voice. You should only go down this path if your ex gives you clearcut signals that they are interested in you and the relationship. But if it is not so clear, you might want to take a step back and wait until you know for sure.
