Getting My Boyfriend Back After I Drove Him Away

By Stewart L. Haney

One of the questions that you may ask yourself is how to get my boyfriend back. The practice of dating is full of ups and downs, and most of the downs are the result of a misunderstanding. So when you are trying to figure out what went wrong, here are some clues as to where men get the wrong message and end up backing off.

Many men back off for a reason that appears counter intuitive. By trying too tough to delight the guy, serving his each need, in the final analysis you are selling yourself as a doormat in his eyes. The concept is to be deferential with who you are, and how you sell yourself. That's not to say you should be dominant, but that you need to say that being someone that is respectable is how it's possible to get my husband back. Men do like to be treated well on occassion, but they desire ladies who can standup for themselves.

Another thing which will send them away is to speak about your ex's. Men are competing when they're dating. They're thinking about the other men who are potential rivals to their efforts, so when you mention other men in your life you are giving them something to compare against. Again, this is not to say you shouldn't say anything. Background and private history is crucial. Realizing that you dated one man thru highschool and university is critical. Telling your date that he's a soccer player with twenty awards, his game stats, where his tattoos are, for example. Is too much. Targeting one ex will sell the assumption that either you have feelings for him, or if it's all negative, you'll cause your date to over research themselves.

Business like behaviour, or inversely being too loose, will work against you. The general ideal is a woman like or female behaviour. Too much on the skin side can work against you, but being boylike will also push away prospects. You should be female, conservative, and someone that isn't cheap or intimidating.

Pressuring him is another turn off. This includes trying to get him to define his role and analyze who he is and how he feels. Men tend not to like having their feelings challenged, and if he has an idea that is proven wrong, then it can send him packing.

Another thing to send him packing is to try and change him. You can't. Men think that being steady means that you want him for him, so trying to change him is going to tell him he has a serious problem. Even if he does not have a problem, trying to change him will challenge his feelings and strip him of who he is. Let him be him. If you need something else, find someone else.

No one is perfect, and no relationship is perfect; but when you are trying to figure out how to get my boyfriend back, these are steps to make sure you do not scare him off. - 29958
