If the break up with your girlfriend was not as devastating as it could have been, there is a good chance that you can pick up where you left off. Hopefully your ex feels that your break up was not as bad as it could have been too. Putting an apology out there is a good idea at this point in time, especially if you caused your ex any hurt feelings.

Showing that you are thoughtful about her feelings and are honestly sorry for any hurt you may have caused is the best first step. Showing your sensitive side can put you in a better position to get your ex back but it cannot be guaranteed. Make it clear that you miss having her around and work at moving the odds more in your favor.

Keep an eye on what she responds to and what she gets annoyed with, and then proceed with the types of things she likes. Your ex girlfriend may have a negative reaction to gifts in the form of bought flowers and cards. She may think they are too easy to get and in turn, little thought has gone into this type of present.

Being thoughtful can help get your ex girlfriend back by making sure any gifts you send are personalised. Write a card to your ex yourself with an honest expression of how you feel. Or, pick your own bunch of flowers and give it to her yourself. Most women tend to think that men are not as thoughtful as they could be.

Thinking back, were you overly thoughtful towards your ex during the relationship? Being aware of how thoughtful you are as opposed to back then, will bring you closer to your end goal. Even though you cannot rely on just thoughtfulness to get her back, the more of your sensitive side you show, the more likely she will come back to you.

If you did not put much thought into things when you were together, it may be harder to convince her that you have changed. She may not warm to your new thoughtfulness straight away but just remain patient. Keep in mind that it is a good feeling when she is happy and that you are getting closer to getting her back.

What if my ex girlfriend gets a new boyfriend in the meantime? If you can show her that she is more suited to you than her new boyfriend, there is a chance that you can convince her to come back, even thought the odds are stacked against you.

Using thoughtfulness as a way to get your ex back can help you but be aware that it is only a small part of a larger picture. To have a good chance at success, you will need to form a sound strategy and stick to it.
