How to Get your Ex Boyfriend Back – The Taylor Swift Way

We have all been there and done that. Apparently, so has Taylor Swift, despite all her fame, fortune, talent, and good looks. So here is an ingenious guide on how to get your ex boyfriend back – the Swift way (pun intended).

Back to December

Just like Taylor did: Apologize. If it was your fault or shortcoming that caused the breakdown of your relationship, then owning up to it is a first step to a reconciliation. Every relationship goes through a bump. What you do about it determines your future as a couple. There are a number of simple ways to say you’re sorry: call, text, set a date, or write a note.

And there are more creative (read: extraordinary) ways to do it, as well! Find inspiration from what you and your ex-boyfriend have gone through and experienced in the past. Be fun. Be sincere. Spark his interest. Imagination is the key.

A word of caution: do not overdo the apology! Once you do one or a couple of these things, do not keep calling or texting the guy. Let him breathe. Allow him time to think it through. Let the apology sink in. Allow him the chance to feel what it’s like to not have you – this impudent, lovely woman - in his life. And let him be the one to come to you.

Tim McGraw

In this song, Taylor reminisced about special moments spent with a guy she loved, using a Tim McGraw song to take him back to that time when their relationship was magical. Take a leaf off Taylor’s book, and find the opportunity to take your ex-boyfriend back to that perfect moment between you. Evoke that long-forgotten passion (not necessarily the corporeal part!) in him. Remind him of how it used to be. Make him realize you could both have it again.

Teardrops on My Guitar

A long time ago, Taylor wrote this song about a guy she was in love with, but who was in love with another girl. When she becomes famous and releases this single, he actually comes back to her, hoping to get a second chance. For Taylor, it was too little, too late. 

I’m not suggesting you write your ex-boyfriend a song since I already suggested it above. What I’m saying is, if you want to get your ex-boyfriend back, be better than you already are. Develop yourself into a person that anyone would love to be with. Whether it’s to be smarter, prettier, kind – it doesn’t matter. Just be the best you can be.

Mind you, getting famous like Taylor would help – but it’s not the only thing you can do. Use the pain of a failed relationship to better yourself. Get inspired. Pretty soon, he’ll realize what a wonderful girl you are and come running, begging you to take him back. But even if you don’t get your ex boyfriend back, at the end of the day, you will have been someone pretty amazing, wouldn’t you? Certainly, that’s the Taylor way.
