Are you suffering through a boyfriend breakup and can’t seem to make any headway in winning him back? Following a boyfriend’s break-up, it can be tough to imagine there’s ever a chance of winning him back, but you can if you just know where to start and have some simple understanding about men. Men are the tougher of the species when it comes to affairs of the heart but it CAN be done with some by following some simple tips.
1. Visit and download T.W. Jackson’s The Magic Of Making Up. It’s filled with tips and advice specifically geared towards winning back the one you love.
2. Men are more visual than are women. When it comes to romance, women tend to think with their hearts while men tend to think with their heads. What would work to win you back isn’t necessarily going to work for him. I think it was best explained in the movie, “Coyote Ugly”, that every man has a toddler in their pants that needs to be paid attention to. This isn’t to say you should sleep with the man to keep him. Quite the contrary is true. Men don’t equate sex and love the way women will. No, to take care of the toddler, take care of the man’s needs. Wash his clothes, cook his dinner and make sure he always has the remote. I’m not saying become a doormat, I’m just saying, like you want your needs met, so does he.
3. When buying gifts for your man for a special occasion, buy him something that fulfills a need. Some examples of this might be: a year’s subscription to a men’s magazine, a soft robe for exiting the shower, some nice towels or a kit for keeping his car clean, both inside and out. In other words, gifts that he needs but wouldn’t buy for himself since it’s too “practical”.
4. Offer to go with him when he needs to buy a gift for his mother, sister, aunt, whatever female relative needs a gift. Truth be told, men are basically bad at gift giving since it requires a great deal of thought. Steer him away from gift cards and Victoria’s Secret and steer him towards the robes, pajamas, candles and “smell pretties”. He’ll appreciate that you care enough to help hi with this and he’ll score points with the recipient.
5. Let him have his space. This is probably the most important one. In the book, Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus the author tells readers that men operate on a rubber band. What this means is, they have a limit to the amount of “you and me” time before they need to retreat into their cave, so to speak. Men are really loners in the sense they need time to recoup and be “manly” sometimes, as in, sit around in their underwear watching sports and drinking beer. If they don’t get this in a timely manner, they tend to snap and retreat, leaving you to wonder why. Really, it’s not you, it’s them. They just need their space sometimes. Let them know it’s okay to need this and instead of waiting for the “snap”, to tell you when it’s coming so you can back off a bit. They’ll appreciate this and you will become one of the more important people in their life because you “get it.”
With some simple understanding, a boyfriend’s break-up doesn’t have to be the end. Unless they are cave men, men prefer women who show some independence while at the same time need them, just a little. Men like to fix problems, but not so many that this is all they do. For instance, I can change a tire, but my husband prefers to do it since it means he’s caring for my safety. I can clean out my car but my husband prefers to do it since it means he’s taking care of me. I can carry a load of dirty clothes to the washing machine but my “big, strong” husband prefers to do it so I don’t hurt myself. Find a balance, let your man have his space, and things will work out in the end. A little understanding as to who they are and what they need goes a long way towards re-building a strong relationship.
