What does it mean if you insulted your now ex boyfriend because you were mad and then apologized but he said you don't have to and you did nothing wrong?

1Consider why it is you two broke up in the first place. Do you just want him back just because you feel that you can't have him? Or maybe you just like the idea of having a boyfriend?

Or you really do like him? Were one (or both) of you abusive, controlling, mean, or possessive? Did one (or both) cheat?

If any of these things happened, you'll want to think long and hard about going back to that kind of relationship, but if you do still want him back, try the following steps. 2Be the person he fell in love with. He was attracted to you because he felt good with you, and you were fulfilling his emotional needs.

How have you changed? Correct bad habits and mistakes, if any. Be positive around him.

Laugh and smile. Always stay positive to feel good about yourself and make friends around you. Don't look like you're stuck in the past, though.

Let him know you're moving on by going to the library class, your locker, and the gym and wearing different clothes than you normally would. This will definitely make them think you are moving on with your life. 3Prepare your first words.

The first thing that you say to your ex boyfriend is extremely important. If you say the wrong words, you will lose the chance to get your ex boyfriend back. Do not respond to your ex request for a breakup by crying and begging him to come back.

This will not work. You are just going to make him feel more irritated and drive him further away. You need to understand that even though he initiates the breakup, there is a good chance that he still harbors good feelings for you.

4Use the past to your advantage. If he's ever complimented your outfit, wear it again. Or, share a light-hearted memory with him.

If you have a chance to meet him, do it at a familiar place you used to hang out together. 5Listen carefully to his choice of words. He may say something unusual.

If he ever uses an unusual or uncommon word, casually slip it into the conversation again. This subconsciously tells him that he and you are similar due to exclusive and similar ways of talking. 6Find out if your ex still cares.

Before you start doing anything to try and win back your ex’s heart, you need to know for sure that he still cares or not. If he doesn’t and you are still desperate to get him back, then you need to know the most subtle ways to get him start to care, even the slightest. You will learn the most obvious clues on how to tell whether you still hold a special place in his heart or not.

Knowing if your ex still cares about you is the first most important clue and hint that things can still be mended. You should not start on anything before you are sure that your ex has some percentage of concern when it comes to you. That is simply your small but fast closing window.

7Casually ask if he'd like to do something non-committal, like have a drink with friends, play miniature golf, play tennis, etc. Something friends and first dates alike can do. And whatever it is, keep it fun. Skip out on the serious talks for now.

You'll have plenty of time to talk about that later. That's very threatening to a lot of guys. If he initiates it, follow his lead.

But don't go heavy. 8Let him know you were thinking about him. Remember that one time you two went to dinner at that great new restaurant and had a fabulous time?

Leave him a short email telling him you ate there recently and thought of him. And, by the way, how is he doing? This is a non-threatening way to have a light conversation, and also, a small request for a reply back.

9Invite him to talk to you. Express regret things weren't working out between you and ask if you can talk about it now that you have some perspective. Ask if what went wrong was related to what you've been working on.

Your ex may have a different perspective! 10Pay some attention to your appearance if you have been neglecting yourself in that department. Get your nails and hair done.

Take a nice warm bubble bath, and pick out a nice outfit. 11Stop caring about how people perceive you. The fact is, it really doesn't matter.

It's impossible to be yourself when you're caught up in wondering "Do they think I'm funny? Does she think I'm fat? To be yourself, you've got to let go of these concerns and just let your behavior flow, with only your consideration of others as a filter—not their consideration of you.

12If you just broke up (less than a couple weeks) completely ignore him. He will call you if he likes you. If he doesn't then nothing you say or wear will change that.

(This works unless you are dealing with a guy that thinks that if you aren't coming after him, you don't care. Sometimes, ignoring him makes him feel like you are perfectly fine without him and are moving on, which is the exact opposite of what you want when you are trying to get back with your man. 13Remember, no situation is hopeless.

Every day, couples get back together regardless of the situation. 14Find other things to focus on. If you focus your attention on a new activity, you will have less time to miss your ex-boyfriend.

You feel stronger and more in control of your life. And if you are still in contact, your ex boyfriend will notice that you have "moved on".
