One of the challenges that is faced when it comes to how to get your ex back is when he or she says let’s be friends. This is not what you want to hear. Although it is nice to be friends it means that the two of you are not likely to have sex again. It can also mean that you are going to be confided in and end up knowing a little bit too much about his or her life without you.

Sometimes after you ex says that you have no choice but to agree because you don’t want to look like you are begging for the sex that came with the relationship. When it comes to how to get your ex back relationship experts will tell you to give him or her the brush off by saying something like “I am so glad you feel that way as I was about to bring this very subject up with you before I led you on too much to think there was still hope for us.”

You could also say something like “Wow, that really does help take a lot of the pressure off and I am glad that you don’t mind if I start dating now.”

Yet tact is to say “I don’t do the friends thing. I am serious about finding a partner so I don’t have spare time for emotional involvements that don’t lead anywhere. But hey give me a call sometime!”

This might sound like you are not encouraging the relationship but that is what you want. You need to introduce an element of threat so that he or she thinks that you are like a valued commodity that is about to slip through his or her fingers and that is his or her last chance to get you back. Creating desperation and lack of access is exactly how to get your ex back.
