Perhaps you've heard the proverbial old saw about "Why A Hungry Dog Doesn't Get Fed". The logic behind this phrase is important for you to understand right now if you are serious about wanting to get your ex girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife back in your life and you have been acting a little needy or desperate.
Think about it. What do you do when a hungry dog shows up at your door? You probably know that you need to shoo it away, because if you feed it you will be stuck with that dog coming back over and over for another free meal and that dog will become a real nuisance. So you pick up the phone and call the Pound or the Humane Society instead.
But what happens instead if a handsome, well fed and groomed dog with a shiny collar happens to show up at your door? You probably admire that dog, but you know it doesn't need you to feed it; it's obviously well taken care of probably just lost or wandering around checking out the neighborhood.
So you feel kind of relieved, perhaps even contemplate how nice it would be to have a dog like that. Do you get the metaphor here? You don't want to be the "needy dog" to your ex, you want to be the handsome, well taken care of dog instead.
Exhibiting needy behaviors such as calling too much or begging and pleading with your ex to take you back only makes you seem like the "needy dog" to your ex lover and this will push them away even more.
As you can see this behavior does not make you the least bit attractive to your ex, but the other thing you need to realize is that people tend to want that they can't have and if you are showing up at their door all the time looking for an emotional handout you certainly aren't that handsome dog that they admired but that's just out of their reach.
You see people like people who like themselves, who are confident and emotionally secure and who don't "need" anyone to make them happy.
So if you really want to win back the love of your ex girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife, do them and yourself a favor and give them some space for awhile while you get a handle on your emotions and cut loose the desperate, needy behaviors.
Then you'll be in the best position to implement a SMARTER strategy to get your ex back.
