“My boyfriend left me for another girl, can I ever get him back?” The simple answer to that question is “yes.” If you love the man, don’t give up on him just because someone new has entered the picture. Once you understand exactly how the male mind works, you can push certain psychological triggers within him to get him to dump her and come back to you. It’s not that difficult once you understand just what to do.

Whenever a woman says “my boyfriend left me for another girl,” she’s automatically going to compare herself to the other woman. You have to try your best to avoid doing that. It will only lead to you resenting him and her and that will be too hard to hide. He’ll sense it and he’ll cut you out of his life for good.

Acceptance is one of the best ways to steal back an ex boyfriend who has already moved on. Instead of fighting him on the issue that he’s started seeing someone else, embrace it. Make it clear to him that you’re fine with it and even happy for him. He won’t expect that reaction at all. If you do happen to meet her, be kind, considerate and civil. Let your maturity shine through. He’ll be stunned and she probably will be too.

One of the best pieces of advice if you’re still in love with an ex who has moved on is to start interacting with him on a friendship level. Right now he has a woman in his life in a romantic sense and it’s not you. As much as you wish it was you, you have to accept that it’s not. That’s why you’ll make more headway with him if you approach him from a place of pure and platonic friendship. Let him know that you’d love to be friends and even suggest that the three of you be friends. Most men are very open to this because they believe it’s a sign that their ex has accepted that the relationship is over.

Once you’ve become just friends, be the best friend you possibly can be. That includes being supportive, fun, compassionate and most of all, understanding. Let him share what he feels comfortable sharing with you. Don’t push him to talk about his relationship. He will in time and when he does be a sympathetic ear for him to vent to. He’ll start to feel a strong connection to you again. Once his rebound relationship comes apart, you’ll be the one waiting in the wings with open arms. Remember that some of the most enduring relationships began or were reborn as friendships.
