Are you singing and identifying with the words to George Strait’s “I know she still loves me, but I don’t think she likes me anymore”? Then it is time to unleash the creative romantic within and bring back lost love.

Now don’t start with the old tired excuses of “I don’t have the time” or “I don’t know how” because that’s all they really are – excuses.  It doesn’t always take a lot of time or imagination. It really is the small things, like an unexpected little kiss on the nape of the neck or those crazy little titles of endearment like dear or love, that have the furthest stretch for their cost.

Do you know the definitions for creative and romantic? Creative is simply having the ability or power to create and romantic is relating to romance, which is simply a love affair. So even if you create a mess while trying to be sweet, it’ll work in your favor as the adage “it’s the thought that counts” really does apply.

All right, so now you get that you can do this, but need a few ideas to springboard from. Well, candy and roses are the traditional “romantic” gifts, but sometimes it just isn’t quite what you’re looking for. Next time, try getting flowers that have petals (pick some wildflowers for extra credit) and playing “He loves me, he loves me not”. Before handing the flowers over, you may want to count the petals and make sure there is an odd number so you don’t have the wrong ending.

Want to get crafty? No worries, no skill required. Do you remember what the symbol for infinity (never ending) looks like? It is shaped similar to a skinny eight lying on its side. Take a piece of ribbon or paper or whatever you can find and write the words “I love you forever” up and down both sides. Connect the ends together with a piece of tape or staples or what have you to form a loop. Connect the loop in the middle and twist to form a figure eight. Now you have a symbol to portray your undying love.

Sometimes all that is missing is the mood. Oh no, there’s a power outage! (Do you tell your love it was man created? I’ll let you decide.) What are you to do, just sitting there in the dark with nothing to distract you? I think you can take it from here.

So see, it’s not that hard and a romantic gift isn’t always material or expensive. Grab your love and dance to the radio, especially if it’s that special song. If you don’t have a special song, get one. Songs and poetry are the long time favorites of hopeless romantics. These few ideas should help get the creative juices flowing, so get busy and bring back lost love.

George Strait – I Know She Still Loves Me

If you truly want to get back together with your ex, you have to do a bit of soul searching. You must be totally honest with yourself.  You have to decide if you and your ex get back together it will truly make you happy, and you won’t wind up down the same road that caused the breakup in the first place.  It’s always easy after a breakup to only think of the good times.  It’s important that you try to be completely objective and think of both the good and bad times.

In reality, there are a few relationships that are unworthy of saving. If you and your ex spent more time fighting than you did doing something good and fun, then perhaps you should consider moving on. If they were physically or verbally abusive, it probably wasn’t a healthy relationship.  If they were mentally unstable, you probably are better off without them.  If the relationship overall was a good one, and they weren’t abusive, and they were of sound mind, the following should help you and your ex get back together.

Pestering and pushing your ex isn’t a good idea.  If you try to constantly get in touch with your ex; whether its by phone, email, text message, or stalking them you’re going to do more harm than good.  They will see this as a sign of desperation.  This could actually push them further away than bring them closer to you.

Don’t argue, beg, or plead with your ex about your past relationship. It’s easy when you and your mind are all alone.  Your mind manifests all sorts of “wrongs” that you may have done.  Even when your ex broke up with you they may have gave you reasons why.  Now, you’re probably beating yourself up over them.  You probably wish you had never done those things.  The past is the past.  This is the present.

If you get it in your mind that the relationship is currently over.  You can’t go back in time, though you probably wish you could.  Concentrate on what is going on now.  The only thing worse than obsessively contacting your ex is to beg or plead with them.  Make promises how you’ll change, etc…This won’t help you and your ex get back together at all.

If you back off, give them some time, and live your life, you’ll be doing yourself a big favor in more ways than one.  You’ll probably become more desirable to your ex, because you’re allowing them to think about you and miss you.  You’ll also be helping yourself to live a happier, more fulfilling life too.
