Hey Chris.. I’m having difficulties with choosing between your e-books. I’m currently studying, which mean I don’t have too much money to spend with. I’m very unsure of which one of the books I should buy, the Texting Bible or Exboyfriend Recovery.
I have done NC (30), I have improved myself and even made myself proud of how I am today. Yet, I still want him in my life. We broke up 2 months ago.
I’m pretty sure he ignores everything I’m doing on social media, I can’t tell for sure, but I have a feeling.
And the only time he send me a response is when I want something from him, an errand of some sorts.
If I just want to have a decent conversation, I get no response.
I do want to buy the texting bible.. but what about Exboyfriend recovery Pro? … Which one tells me exactly how I can make him lower his resistance and open up to me?

The PRO handbook is what you should get. He posts a lot of good articles here online to help with texting, so I think that the PRO system is the most valuable way to go! (I’ve bought both)

Hi there Chris,
I’ve read most of the helpful & insightful guides you provided I never researched on how to get a ex boyfriend before so thank you for making my experience of seeking help for the first time a great experience so again thank you!
I don’t know if you can help me though …. Let me just get to it right away you see me & my boyfriend were dating for 10 months we were kinda on & off but it never took us long to make up I would say about 4-5 days we had a trying couple of months were personal but we still kept our relationship strong and we stayed there for each even the times we had big fights we still checked on the other just this October he told me he loved me for the first time and then unfortunately he had a very bad asthma attack the next week he almost lost his life I stayed with him all night until his family came including the mother of his children (6 month-old twin boys) not only was that a scary experience for us but I also had deal with the “mother” using the situation to try & get back together with him do I have you’re attention yet? So after he recovers he assures me nothing is going on but the next time I visit him in the hospital he wants to break up with me!! He’s reasoning was due to us not wanting to break up anymore ? so after a another big fight I eventually relaxed and accepted it we talked & planned when I would get my things from his place BUT that Sunday he decides we need to talk to start all over just not a official couple but I noticed the “mother” started calling more mind you they barely spoke to each other but now she’s calling him like they made up….mind you maybe it was a mistake but I asked to see his phone its not new to him I usually go to Instagram or something cause his phone works better than mine but that’s neither here or there I didn’t have to go through his phone to ever know if something was going on simply by asking for his phone he would tell on himself… So surprise surprise that started a big fight unfortunately it was worse then the others we broke each other’s things my TV for instance and his Xbox one yes I know really bad we haven’t talked to each other in almost three weeks so does that still count as “NC”? And I love him very much but I don’t think he’ll ever forgive me as his Xbox was his out let to chill and relax also I believes he’s back together with the “mother” so I guess what I’m really asking is….
1. Are my chances of getting him back 0 to impossible?
2. If he stopped talking to me first will the “NC” will work & how long should it be?
3. If he’s so quick to reset his relationship with the “mother” is he afraid of being single?(he’s only 26) or is he back with her because it’s easy and similar
Thanks I know its a lot but I would appreciate you’re insight ?.

Hii, I’ve posted a couple of times before but not had a response. Alot happened since then, it’s been about 4 1/2 months since the breakup. We were together for over a year and were both eachother’s longest relationship, sadly it became long distance as he had to move away but he left me because he just didn’t love me and a strong fear of commitment regarding me moving in. I went straight into no contact for a month where he made no contact with me, and during this time his previous ex who he has seen twice before and just a teen decided to make it known she was interested, they were last together 2 years before us, and hadn’t spoken at all for over a year….and I heard through one of his friends that he was interested too barely a month after leaving me saying he thought she was more mature now; he got angry that his friend told me about it and we argued…since then we decided to be friends since I saw it was the only way forward and things were going well talking online. He started to initiate some chats but at this point I still don’t know if he is with her or not, if he is he’s keeping it very secret from me….he suddenly stopped initiating and now I have to start most of the conversations, but as he made hints about bumping into me or me going to visit I took that as a sign to ask about catching up. He seemed up for it at the time but then literally the day before he started making some excuses, so I asked him about it and he said he is really anxious and nervous, that he’s never met up with ex’s before and that the last time he saw me (during breakup) he had a full anxiety attack. I said I understood but now I have no idea where to go from here really…do I just give him space completely and not talk, or should I continue the texting process? I know he still cares about me, as he got very angry with his friend and said that if he ever messes with him again in relation to me he will ‘destroy’ him, and considers me a person close to him. I don’t get the impression he has any feelings left for me in that way though….but at the same time I can’t make sense of his behaviour…

Well….it seems like he must love her going by what he puts on his social media, which he never did with me. I’m beginning to wonder if I was a rebound even though it was a 2 year gap before he met me, and I did notice through the relationship he’d bring her up randomly at times in a negative way, but it would be completely out of the blue…although he said that he had no interest in her while we were together, I’m not sure what to do….

Hi chris! Im so glad you made this article!! I knew my ex was an introvert, but I kept forgetting how their nature is and how to handle one. This is a very good reminder. I especially agree with the whole turtle in a shell description! Wanting security and safety and avoiding pain as much as possible. My ex and I were engaged and even a month after our initial breakup and resolving our issues, he still mention things like how I will definitely marry a local (someone from my town) even when we were talking about something completely different.
I restarted NC and now is two weeks into. Because end of Dec is his final exam, I think i may extend NC until Jan to give myself time for some self-improvements too. I think this is definitely my favorite article so far. Thanks Chris!

Hey Chris!
This is the only time I’m going to copy paste this story of mine, its just that I think you would reply to comments on a recent post. I’ve posted this on your “Boyfriend’s Insecurity” post but it doesn’t really answer the problem I have since its a different insecurity.
…My ex and I have broken up for almost 2 months now. We have been together for only 7 months but we’ve known each other for a year and a half. He is insecure, but not of other guys but of himself. He has problems with emotions… Its a hard concept for him but when it comes to himself he is very generous that sometimes he seems so indifferent and selfish (to me) at times. I gave my time and effort but he cant seem to do the same. Those highlighted his insecurities as a person because he cant be a normal partner. I try to be patient with him, but the times when it got too hard that it hurt I try to break up with him but in the end taking him back a couple of times even though he couldn’t formulate a reason for me to do so, and I did it because I love him and want to help him.
Then 2 months before the break up, we didn’t get to contact much since my mom forbid it since they found out that we did it. (Im 20 but my family is conservative) and then later on after an almost break up he this time pushed it and made it for real. And then he said in chat that he wants to be with someone when he can (direct quotation) “I wanna be with someone when I can provide, when I am secure with myself, when I can make proper decisions, when I can hold a decent conversation.” and then I asked that “it wont be me”, he said he didn’t know.
Then after a month of NC I initiated contact and it was good, I was in a no fucks given mood and then messaged him a very long one detailing what I felt and learned after the break up, I saw him typing and typing but in the end he didnt respond.
About physical intimacy, it was also a problem he had with that I tried bring patient with but I guess that wasn’t enough and added to his insecurities.
Chris, I think that my ex is too insecure of himself to even look at me ever again and that it hurts that I did everything for it to work so far as to make compromises that damages my pride and self-esteem. I think that he is too emotionally challenged to try and rekindle anything, its like I’m a scar for him that he wants to hide forever. He is a nice guy but its just that when it comes to a relationship he is just… *sigh
What do you think? I am at loss since this is my first relationship.

ey Chris,
So my ex and I broke up about a month and a half ago. I started no contact as soon as we ended things and after 3 days he was begging for me back, so we talked and got back together. Then after about two weeks he said he was unsure of his decision and sometimes he wanted to be with me and other times he just wanted to be alone. I did NC again after that and he came begging back once again. I didnt take him back this time bc I don’t want it to become a cycle. I just want him to be as sure of his feelings for me as I am of mine for him. But being in NC now I find he doesn’t send me any texts anymore and doesn’t seem to care much (in NC the first time he would send me multiple texts a day and call frequently). Did I miss my window? Where do I go from here? I feel so lost. I need your help please!!

Hi Chris.
It’s been three months since I broke up with my ex. I went through 30 days No Contact & when it was over I text him and got the dreaded no response. Just last week he finally got in touch to let me know he still thinks of me and he apologised for how things ended.
I am the introvert and he is the extrovert of our ying and yang (but we have both been in relationships when he was introverted with his extroverted ex and I was extroverted with my introverted ex so I sort of think both of us might be hybrids). Anyway if I am to take the extroverted approach then I must admit that as an introvert I am absolutely terrified of moving quickly. I know that that’s selfish and if I want to get him back I should consider what he wants from me but I’m not sure how to get over this fear of things moving too quickly.
That’s exactly how our relationship was by the way he was pushing things forward and I was trying to slow us down because I just believe that two people need time to get to know each other fully before moving in together etc. But that was what he wanted and eventuaIly caved and although we got on wonderfully a fight broke us up and left me wondering how he could be so reckless with my feelings.
I’m planning on texting him next week. If I move quickly from texting to calling will it be advisable to slow down from there?

HELP!! I NEED ADVICE LIKE NOW!!
I asked my introverted ex out for lunch for this weekend. It’s been 10 months since the breakup and he was the one who ended it. We just were not happy with ourselves which made making each other happy difficult. We were going through all of of change and both had a hard adapting.
We’ve texted a handful of times usually initiated by me and they’ve lasted a few hours. I’ve seen him once since, but that was about two months after the breakup. He was the one who asked after I left a message saying I hope he was doi f better.
It would be nice to try again, but I’m being realistic and expecting nothing to come of it. Especially since I know he’s been online dating. How should I handle myself? I’m on the borderline between extrovert and introvert but I suppose I lean more on the outgoing side. If he does ask if I’ve been dating what do I say? Should I ask if he’s been dating or seeing anyone?
Thank you!

Hi! I completed 30 days of NC and then messaged him, but I think it may have ruined it…we met up and we talked about the relationship and he said that he’s not ready for a relationship with anyone and even though he missed me and hurt that we weren’t together, he doesn’t love me. I just messaged him something about a book we were reading and he didn’t respond =(.
What should I do?

Hi Chris,
I did post a comment here but it looks like it’s been deleted or something, I’m in real need of your advice, I’m afraid I may have messed things up with my ex boyfriend. Do you have any advice on dealing with an ex who’s emotionally vulnerable?
He broke up with me 10 months ago, but we had been getting along more recently (thanks to you!) and had progressed to in person meet ups. Over the weekend he asked me to go to dinner which I took as a very good sign, it was great and very positive but nothing happened. We were both attending a work event the following night, and when I arrived he kissed me on the cheek which he has never done since we were together. He spent most of the night chatting to me, he touched my arm a lot and he even wore the bracelet I got him for Christmas last year. He showed it to me and told me it was the most awesome present he’s ever gotten! When I was leaving, he hugged me really tightly, kissed me on the cheek twice and hugged me again.
We spoke the following day and I gently told him how great things seem to be between us and that I think about him a lot. He was a bit evasive at first but then he said he thinks about me too. But then it seemed to go downhill from here…he told me that I’m very special and beautiful and that he has been enjoying my company, but whenever he started to feel something for me he would push it away and talk about something else. I stayed calm but he got emotional out of nowhere and said that he wasn’t emotionally able for this, and he just can’t do a relationship. He also said that getting past our breakup was the hardest thing ever and that he’s not in a place where he can just try it again. I asked him why he kissed me on the cheek and he said he was just being friendly…
I text him the next day when he calmed down just to say sorry and that I wasn’t trying to push him into anything, but I was disappointed because I thought he was in the same place as me wanting to maybe try again slowly. I’m worried now because his reply sounded like a goodbye:
“I do enjoy your company of course, but going down that road again however slowly is a setup for more upset and disappointment. It’s important that I’m honest, and I hate saying this but it’s not going to work for me I’m so sorry.”
I honestly don’t know what to do from here Chris. Did I ruin my chances? Should I keep trying to get him back or should I let go because he isn’t emotionally ready. His behaviour over the last few months indicates that he still has feelings for me but when it comes down to it he says he just doesn’t want any awkwardness between us, which I don’t really believe but I don’t know. We were so madly in love and now I don’t even recognise this guy…what should I do?
Thanks Chris, really enjoy your website 🙂

I have left comments on this site for help but never got a reply & at this point I realize there’s no hope in getting my ex back, he is gone. I am so depressed & heartbroken, I cry everyday. I constantly wonder why I was so disposable & worthless to him? Why didn’t I mean more to him? Especially since I was a good girlfriend to him. The only issue we had was some arguments here & there, nothing crazy or excessive but that’s the reason he gave for breaking up with me. After a few months of NC I got back in contact with him & we became friends but he was always resistant to getting back together, yet would sometimes say he wanted a family with me but was afraid if we got back together we would start arguing. For the past 6 months I have tried hard to get him back, but we got in an argument a few weeks ago that he started & he completely cut me off after that. After 2 weeks of him ignoring me I went to his house cause I was so hurt & confused and he was very cold to me, he refused to talk to me & then called me the next day & he was very nasty to me & things got ugly, I completely broke down & he said I was crazy & emotional and that we have no future and that he met someone new & that he hopes I find a good guy but to never contact him again cause he will never reply & he blocked me on fb too. I sent him a message a few days later when emotions weren’t running high but he ignored it. It’s been a couple weeks of NC & I haven’t heard from him & it would take a miracle from God for him to contact me again cause he is extremely stubborn & cold & he spoke to me as if I never meant anything to him. I was a good woman to him, I take care of myself & was always loyal & faithful to him, all I did was love him & want a family with him & I tried so hard to make him happy. I just don’t understand why I didn’t mean more to him after everything & why it is so easy for him to just cut me off & move on? Would appreciate your feedback as I will never be able to get those answers from him.

Hey Chris,
I’m writing this again just in case you didn’t get my comment. My boyfriend told me that he doesn’t feel the same anymore. I pleaded for another chance and he gave me another chance. But the problem is I can only communicate with him through text. He doesn’t want to meet me until he wants to meet me. I have to win his heart back through text which seems impossible because of my emotional state. Also, every text I send him seems to just annoy him and often times I would receive short uninterested replies. He’s changed a lot in that he’s not as caring or loving as he was before and it really breaks my heart. I don’t know what to do to get him back to how he was before. He resents me for putting him in so much pain throughout our relationship. I was very clingy, controlling, jealous and emotional. I also wasn’t on good terms with his circle of friends. It’s my fault really because I had this mindset that they would judge me because they’re popular and cool and I’m just some timid girl. I would avoid them in real life and they soon noticed. After some time, I started hating them and they too hated me. I regret this a lot because I know they’re actually nice people but I just let my insecurity get the best of me. They’re happy that my boyfriend wants to break up with me. It really breaks my heart. What do I do?

Hi Chris, thank you for adding this article, I can see how important it is to account of his introverted nature as part of my strategy. Would the same approach apply for someone who shows some characteristics of being on the autism spectrum? Any other special advice for this type of situation? Maybe even worth an article at some stage in the future? There are forums on this kind of thing but they’re mostly just a lot of people whingeing.

Hey Chris today is the last day of NC and he didn’t contact me at all. I’m not sure what is going on in his mind. I read about how guys are stubborn and feel victimized(he broke up with me) and how guys emphasize their pride so much . I wanna try texting him a first msg but I’m quite afraid to do it as he told when he never want anything to do with me when we broke up..however past two days I saw his pictures at a formal occasion , he was wearing that ring that symbolized our love..do u think he still loves me or that ring didn’t mean anything to him at all? Should I take the risk and proceed with my first text?

Hi Chris,
I really need your advice, I had been working on building rapport with my ex and it was going really well. We are broken up since January and I have been following your steps since.
We were going up the value chain, and we had a couple of events this week that we were going to meet at. He spent the whole evening with me on the first one and asked me to go for dinner afterwards, which I took as a really good sign! He also wore the bracelet that I bought him last Christmas, he showed it to me and told me how it was the most awesome present he’s ever gotten. The following day we met up for coffee, which turned into a walk and then dinner. It felt really great, I knew he was feeling something but I was slightly concerned that he hadn’t said anything about us yet. We had another event the following night and he kissed me on the cheek when I met him. He spent most of the night chatting with me and was touching my arm a lot. He even called me a sweet name that he used to call me when we were together! When I was leaving he hugged me tightly, kissed me on the cheek twice, and then gave me another hug.
We spoke the following day over text, and since he hadn’t made a move yet I decided to take a chance. I very gently told him how great he was and how great things seemed to be going, and I hoped that he felt the same about me. The conversation started good, he said that he was feeling things, that I was special and beautiful and when we were spending time together that all those feelings of love and missing me were coming back, but he was worried about having to recover again if we ever broke up, as it was the hardest thing he’s ever done. As the conversation continued, I stayed as collected as I could and I didn’t push him, but he seemed to be getting more and more emotional. Then he panicked and said that he didn’t feel emotionally ready for this, that he was really sorry he led me on but he just can’t do a relationship. I asked him why he kissed me on the cheek and he said he was just being friendly…is that really possible?
I told him that I understood what he’s saying but pointed out that he was wasn’t treating me like somebody he didn’t want to be with, the things I mentioned above were only a few things that he did. I just don’t understand what happened, it’s like as soon as he starts to feel something he pulls away. Do I have a chance of getting him back at this stage? This has been going on all year, we went from madly in love to this. I know you say not to delete your ex from social media but I feel like that’s the only way he’ll realise what he could lose…
Thanks Chris, what should I do?

Let me put it this way… I have never kissed another girl on the cheek ever…
BUT there are some men who do so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
I think what you need to do at this point is agree to go out on a fun date. There is no purpose behind this date besides fun. That’s it. Just go out with him and have a really fun experience.

Hey Chris,
I just wanted to ask for your advice on my current situation. Me and my boyfriend are still in a relationship but he said that he doesn’t love me anymore.. He agreed to give me another chance, however, our only medium for communication is through texting. He refuses to meet me until he feels like he wants to meet me. But the thing is, its very hard for me to try to win his heart back through texting because of the current mental state I’m in (very emotional and total panic mode) I try my best to text him calmly but he would always send short uninterested replies. I feel so hopeless. He resents me for the pain I’ve put him through throughout our relationship. I was very clingy, controlling, jealous, emotional and I easn’t on good terms with his friends because I felt like they would judge me which led me to avoiding them in real life and then slowly hating them (which they realised and then hated me as well) I feel very bad because I know they’re actually nice people but I let my insecurity and prejudice get to me and now its too late.. I’ve contemplated on apologizing to them a couple of times but now if I do so, it will just seem like a tactic to get their support. What do I do?

Hi Chris,
I hope you’re well 🙂
I thought I would re-post my question here, as I think you may have missed it?
In a nutshell, I have been communicating with my ex for approximately 2 months now, (after 1 month of NC). We broke up in April of this year.
I am getting frustrated, as he never initiates contact. He always responds in a relatively timely manner (within an hour or two) to texts, and is happy to chat if I suggest it. He will call if I take the initiative to organise for the phone call to occur beforehand.
It has also become obvious in the past couple of months that he is suffering at least a mild case of depression.
At this point, we have discussed that he will come and see me (we are in an LDR and I can’t fly at the moment) in December. However, I don’t believe anything, until the ticket has been booked and paid for. We agreed that we will meet up and “see how things go” (his words).
We haven’t had any contact for a week now, and I am hesitant to reach out again, as I am getting over the predominantly “one way street” communication. I am feeling extremely fed up.
What should I do to rectify this situation?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for the great post again.
Right after the break up, I discovered your website and went into NC immediately. No text Gnat, no begging, crying or whatsoever. Me and my boyfriend had a very open and vulnerable conversation with each other right before I do NC. We both cried about what happened. And I said breaking up is good for both of us to find ourselves again.
We dated for one year, lovely and full of fun. Then I had troubles with my life which led to the devastating state of myself and eventually tired him off. Then he cheated on me behind my back, after meeting a new girl, one week later he demanded to break up and I had to move out which I did.
After 2 weeks of NC, I lost weight and changed my appearance positively which my friends compliment on a lot. Then he contacted me to ask how I was doing. NC worked. I am happy with that. Then he said his new girl dumped him, he wanted to die, he said I deserved to be happy more than him. I didn’t respond. I felt like he was fishing for my empathy and comfort for his broken ego. But he said he wanted to meet up and clean the sheet.
I want to talk with him too, to clear out all the misunderstanding between us. Because he treated me like trash and I wanted to listen to his side of story. I intend to do it after NC. Is that ok? I want to gradually build up attraction between us but I also want to clear the cloud between us and leave us on good term again.
Should I meet him after NC to talk about our previous relationship? I also have to take some of my legal documents and my money back from him as well so I think I have to meet him soon to resolve it.
I look forward to your advice.
Thank you so much.

Hey Chris !
I’m currently in day 21 of NC. He called me and broke it off, said he still cared for me but didn’t feel as much for me and that he thought it was better to go seperate ways (it’s the second time he breaks up with me)
It was a very mature break-up, no crying, begging or pleading on my behalf and the NC started the day after, I haven’t heard a word from him since although he does like my pictures sometimes.
I think I have a fair shot at getting him back even though it was an LDR relationship, I’m moving to his country next May and I think I can built up a good rapport before that.
Anyway, I really love your articles and I’ve been preparing my first contact message as well.
I wanted to suggest that you do like a discussion board or an article or something about the success stories, where woman can post their game plan and their success stories ?
I hope all is well with you, thank you for giving me hope and helping me get over the break up (moving on without moving on that is! )

He’s an INTROVERT to a T. I’m an introvert who’s become somewhat extroverted in time. I also have a pretty gregarious personality. I enjoy being introverted and low key but I like a man who knows what he wants and goes after it. This guy acts so scared sometimes he gets sweaty palmed. His parents where divorced so I think that’s an added fear and why he’s probably never been in a healthy relationship with a girl and he’s already 42. It’s on again off again and low key dates if any at all when we are “on.” After periods of “no contact”, it’s usually him who says “hi” or “hello” and then we’re “hanging out” again. This going on for over a year now. He doesn’t even know how to date maybe. It’s been 40 days of “no contact” after he didn’t respond to my last text I had sent in which I was really POed at him for him saying things where going to be different but then he just going off and doing his own thing. Now he has just messaged me out of the blue. I didn’t respond. An hour and 10 minutes later he apologies and acknowledges that I’m probably upset with him. I haven’t replied. That was last night. Now what? Do I allow him to end the “no contact” period? How much more time should I give before I reply? When and how should the no contact period end? And what kind of message should be my first text response? Thank you.

I would only allow the NC period to be over if you were certain he was willing to come back.

What do you do if your ex is both? My ex loves to go out and have a good time. He is very adventurous. But then again I think sometimes he would much rather stay at home and work on things around the house or just watch TV and cook. He has both of qualities. I am almost done with NC. You were right, around day 14, I heard from him. We ran into each other and I have a good feeling that it wasn’t a coincidence. I kept the conversation short, but I was a bit shaky. However, he has not texted, called, or showed any interests during NC. He has deleted me from facebook and all of our pictures. I have also seen him on dating apps. I am not going to lie I took this as a positive because I know he is not with anyone serious, but seeing him was like being stabbed in the heart. lol. Do you think I have a fair shot after NC? From the beginning of the break up he told me he loved me and this hurts him too. We dated for about 6 months. We made a amazing team. Is it a bad sign that he has not really contacted me at all the entire NC? How should I react after NC if he is both intro and extro? Thanks for all your help, your page, and books have been a great source of comfort and strength.

Ah the rare hybrid!
It’s definitely possible. I mean, when you are dealing with human beings anything is possible. I think you treat him like an extrovert out of the gates and if he doesn’t respond well to that you slow it down to an introvert strategy.
