Getting My Ex Back – How I Blew It

So okay, several weeks ago, I finally decided to stop moping around, clean up my act and join the rest of the living after that dreadful break-up scene with my then-girlfriend. Oh yes, break-ups suck – big time. I have beaten myself up, wallowed in self-remorse for being so weak and hooking up with that bimbo and got caught red-handed. After my hiatus, the first order of the day was to get my ex back. But, surprise, surprise, it didn’t turned out as I expected. This article recounts my shameless efforts to win back my girlfriend and ended blowing up all my chances. Here goes my special recipe for disaster.

Mistake Number 1. When I finally summoned up enough courage to talk to her, as it turns out, she refuses to take any of my calls. I ended up calling her up 7-10 times a day. After days of cold treatment from her, I resorted to bombarding her inbox and sending wimpy text messages, begging her to give me another chance. Sounds too sappy? Well, I was prepared to grovel and do whatever it takes to get my ex back.

Mistake Number 2. They say it’s difficult to live with your mistakes. In my case, I was plain miserable. I made sure I was near the phone, in case she decides to call. I refuse to leave the house, just in case she did call. I went through series of emotions for weeks, from panic, anger, remorse and despair. At first, my breakup became a running joke in our house, until they finally said I’m really losing it.

Mistake Number 3. Since she was ignoring me, I decided its time to be more confrontational. We have been together for a little over two years so I have a good idea where she loves to hang out with her friends. Unknowingly, I ended up stalking her, always making sure I’d be in places where I’m sure she would show up. Needless to say, I got a not so good reception every single time.

Mistake Number 4. At this stage, you probably have probably written me off as the world’s biggest loser. But I frankly could not live with the idea that I am really losing her. I tried asking the help of her friends, which turned out to be really annoying for them. How pathetic can I possibly get?

Mistake Number 5. When she still refused to give me a time of day, I grew frustrated and decided to take an entirely different approach. I stopped calling her and her friends, and I also stopped stalking her. I thought a little jealousy wouldn’t hurt, right? The next thing I knew, I ended up dating the girl everybody knew was her sworn enemy — her ex-best friend.

It doesn’t take much to imagine the aghast faces of our friends when I showed up with the other girl. Up to this day, I still cringe at the thought of it. That’s when I finally knew that I have royally blown all my chances to get my ex back. But hey, I lived to tell the tale. So for cheating guys, you should know better.
