Right after the heightened emotions have cooled down, you realized this: I need her back after I have broken up with her.
However, the most difficult thing in making up is doing the first move.
It is about restoring lost communication.
Of course, the difficulty depends on the nature of the break up.
As a rule of thumb, don't give up that easily since time mends all wounds.
Yes, time must be of primary consideration.
You can show her respect by not bugging her immediately.
Do not chase her through text messages, e-mails and phone calls.
Let the grief or anger cool down first.
In other words, respect the break up.
Time will also give you chance to think of the right words to say.
Rushing things may screw your chances up.
Ironically, time is also your enemy here.
Again, depending on what caused the break up, gauge if it is already time to communicate again.
Don't sit too long waiting for she might find a new special someone.
If talking personally seems awkward, start by SMS or email.
Check how she is doing.
Just keep it cool and don't let the "I need her back" mantra appear like desperation to her.
It is also important to know that even if you should keep your cool, you must not appear arrogant to her.
Be sincere and show her that you are sorry for your mistakes.
Show her that "I am a changed man and I need her back" attitude.
Little by little, gauge the signals.
Study her words when you are talking to her-personally or by phone.
If you are a little confused with girl language, you can get help from guides in books and the internet.
If you feel that both of you are comfortable with each other again, then, finally, the time to ask for a date has come.
