If you were dumped by a boyfriend or girlfriend, you would have realized that it can be a terrible feeling. It might have been unexpected or unplanned and very difficult to digest. Most people think about patching up after a break up but they have to understand that the other partner will also need to feel the same way. Unfortunately, in some cases, your ex might not want to get back with you and would maybe feel good about a break up. All hope is not lost even in cases like that.
Some psychological studies have been able to analyze that almost 90% of breakups are those that can be easily patched. However, people make some really silly mistakes right after a break up that will greatly reduce this chance of patching up. Here are the mistakes listed below which will hopefully make you stay away from committing them.

- Excessive contact after a break up – Some people get so disillusioned after a break up that they are in denial. They refuse to accept that a break up has taken place and constantly call or text their boyfriend or girlfriend to find out what is going on. This is one of the worst mistakes that can be made. Your ex might be taking the break up very seriously and your calls and texts will make them completely hate you. It does not matter if you are being apologetic or abusive; communication right after a break up will end up in nothing but disaster.
- Don’t become a loser – Some people just break down after a break up. They stop seeing their friends or socializing and become loners. This will not help your situation. There is a good chance that mutual friends will report your behavior to your ex and there is absolutely no way of getting back with them if they find out that you have become reclusive and lonely. You might expect sympathy but you must understand that sympathy is not something that will win love back. Move on with your life as if nothing has happened. Meet with friends and do all the things you would normally do. This will in fact have a positive effect on your ex who will be interested in your ability to carry on with your life despite a break up.
- Initiate contact after a while – After you have given your ex enough space and time to acknowledge a break up, try to make friendly contact with them. Do not make it sound like a date or a request to get back with them. Just make it a friendly meeting. Most breakups are cordial enough to accommodate this type of meeting. He or she will be willing to meet with you after a while.
- What to say during that meeting – When you do get to meet them after a while, just be friendly with them and ask them routine things like how they are doing. If you made a mistake in your relationship, just bring that up and tell them that you realize that you made some mistakes. Never bring up the topic about getting back with them right after the first meeting. See what their response is like and try to meet more often.
- Fix it over time – If you have come this far, there is a very good chance that you can reverse the break up by slowly opening up to them.
