I'd suggest this (this has never failed me yet):
Shift from
"get her mate back into her/his life" via "tips/tricks"
to
finding that complete happy feeling on her own first'.
Or as LB said, "move forward".
Anything is possible
but not until you get a life of your own. Genuinely. For Real.
A life where your happiness does not depend on the love of another.
Then and only then,
(in my experience)
do all the other tips/tricks
work wonderful miracles.
---------------------------
If you try what myself said: "communicate"...
Yes, swallow.
Your pride that is. Be honest and open
with the person you are seeking to win back. Find out what it is he/she would expect in order to give you another chance.
----------------------------
Last but not least....don't FORCE it.
Do not try to force him/her to be, do, think or feel
your way on the matter.
Do everything in your power to play it kewl. If you can't, then perhaps you should leave it alone and come back to address it later.
blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda...ok i'm done.
