A breakup is always hard, no matter who did the dumping. If you’re the one who was dumped, it’s natural to want to try and repair things. After all, you loved each other once, so there must be a way to rekindle that flame, right? The key is knowing what to say—and what not to say. Here are sweet things you can say to your ex-boyfriend to try and win him back.
[Women] Here are the things you need to say to your ex-boyfriend to get him back
“I miss you.” This simple statement shows that you’re thinking about him and that you still have strong feelings for him. Plus, who doesn’t like hearing that they’re missed?
“I’m sorry.” Whether it was something you did or something you said (or both), apologizing shows that you’re willing to take responsibility for your part in the breakup and that you’re willing to make things right.
“I’ve changed.” We all grow and change over time, but if there’s something specific about yourself that you know drove your boyfriend away, now’s the time to let him know that you’ve changed for the better.
“I still love you.” Telling your ex-boyfriend that you still have strong feelings for him is a risk, but it can pay off if he feels the same way. Just be prepared for him to use your words against you if he’s not interested in getting back together.
“Can we talk?” Asking to talk shows that you want to communicate and work things out like two adults. This can go a long way towards winning him back.
“You’re the most brilliant, talented, amazing person I’ve ever met, and I miss you so much.”
“I know we had our issues, but I really miss being with you and I want to try again.”
“I know we’re not together anymore, but I can’t stop thinking about you and I still have strong feelings for you.”
“You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’m sorry for everything that went wrong between us.”
“Seeing you with someone else made me realize how much I still care about you and how much I want to be with you again.”
“Being apart from you is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, and I miss you every single day.”
“No one has ever made me feel as special as you do, and I really hope we can give things another try.”
“Even though we’re not together anymore, I’ll always cherish the memories we had and the time we spent together.”
“You’re the only one for me, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get you back into my life.”
“There’s nothing I want more than for us to be together again, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.”
