The first thing that entered my mind the moment my girlfriend dumped me was to phone her and then get her to give me a second chance. You've changed and everything will be different now. You are a new guy and have come to your senses. It's alright for your ex to hang out together with her close friends occasionally and you have at last got your head on straight and believe in her entirely. You're happy to take a step back and grant her a bit of breathing room. Instantly you have grown to be a more understanding guy.

You give your ex a call and she picks up the telephone and behaves with good grace but states she does not believe you and that she must have a little while to consider things and make a decision. All is okay and you hang up the phone, hope picks up in you. In a day or two you must hang out with her and get coffee or something so you get a hold of her once again. She cannot turns you down as she's spending time with a "guy friend" from one of her classes to study; perhaps another day might work better. It feels as though you have had your heart torn out and you go crazy hoping not to think about the two of them kissing over a Psychology textbook.

You start attempting to get a hold of her all day long and sending her voicemails and emails and start to push her over the line. She initially believes that you have not changed at all. You're the same irritating, immature, annoying man you were when she dumped you. She decides that you are becoming too much of a pain and gets a different number, black-lists you from her email and you're abandoned and messed up after messing up your one chance to get your girlfriend back.

I would sit in my car and watch her house waiting for her to return just to see who she was with. I would sit there for a long time waiting and when she eventually appeared I would straight away regret everything. Just seeing the two of them together had me feel sick. I just could not tolerate that notion that my girlfriend dumped me. I'd try to know where she was going when she would hang out with her friends and I would "coincidentally" be there attempting to talk to her and get her alone from her friends. She would become anxious the moment she spotted me head into the cafe or club. She would whisper something to her friends and they'd be gone during the next couple of minutes.

I don't want you to end up like I did.  The reality is, you can win your ex-girlfriend back, but you have to be relaxed over it and you'll have to have a proper strategy.  If you just do what I did when my girlfriend dumped me, you're really going to destroy your odds.

It doesn't matter how horrible the situation might seem, you can salvage your relationship.  You basically have to cool off slightly and allow her some space to ponder over things and provide her a little bit to really miss you (believe me, she will definitely miss you eventually).  My girlfriend dumped me and I did everything wrong initially, but I soon got my act together and fixed our relationship before everything became too much out of control.

The initial and best thing you might do, when you are feeling like the breakup is driving you driving you over the edge is to just distance yourself from your ex.  Make the pledge to yourself to not communicate with her for 2 to 4 weeks.  Work with that time to focus on yourself and get yourself together.  That's what I did when my girlfriend dumped me, and yes it really was a a life-changing point for everything.
