Maybe you broke up with him, maybe he broke up with you, maybe the whole breakup was mutual.
Whatever the case, now you miss him and want him back.
Just because you two are not "officially" together right now doesn't mean that there isn't a chance of reconciliation.
If you miss him and want him back, it can certainly be done.
But you must proceed with caution.
The first thing you must do is get your emotions in check.
You don't need to be totally okay with everything - just make sure that your outbursts are toned down and that you are ready to talk.
This will really show him that you miss him and want him back to start a healthy relationship together - not to continue old arguments.
Secondly, apologize.
The higher the "crime", the more apologies must be expressed.
Apologies must be sincere and each party must take responsibility for their actions.
Take this opportunity to express your feelings.
Have an "I feel" conversation where each person gets to let the other know how they feel without interruption.
Let him know that you miss him and want him back.
Your sincerity will reassure him of this.
Thirdly, forgiveness.
Of course you're still hurting.
There were reasons - good reasons - you two broke up in the first place.
Recognize the stumbling blocks each of you brings into the relationship and forgive each other.
Let go of any resentments and replace that emotion with the love that's in your heart.
If you miss him and want him back, you must forgive him of his faults...
otherwise, what's the point? All kinds of things can happen when you miss him and want him back.
You might lose the courage it takes to be so bold about your feelings.
You might feel like you're coming off desperate.
You're afraid you may even get rejected.
Don't be so quick to give up.
If you genuinely miss him and want him back, don't lock those feelings away.
People get back together all the time.
By sharing your feelings with him, not only will you patch things up, but you may actually grow closer together.
