If you are like most men who want to get their ex girlfriend back, perhaps the biggest difficulty you are facing right now is how to get past the pain and the humiliation of the breakup, especially if she dumped you. It may very well be that at least a part of the reason she decided to call it quits was that you lack sufficient self confidence, which women believe to be extremely important in their guy. Whether or not you were strong before the break up, at the moment you probably feel that you are at your weakest point. Because of this, it can be very tempting to want to wear your heart on your sleeve, by which I mean that you are inclined to let her see how badly you are feeling right now. But this is undoubtedly the worst thing you could do, and it will not increase you chances of winning your ex girlfriend back. In fact, if you do this it may make it practically impossible to get her back.

I go over strategies for getting back with your ex girlfriend in more detail on my Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back page, which you might want to check out now.

So why exactly is it that low self confidence in a guy is such a turn off to women? The truth is, low confidence in the opposite sex, be it a man or a woman, is simply psychologically draining for their partner. Most people have a hard enough time dealing with whatever other problems the world has to throw at them. They get worn down and are constantly bombarded by people who go out of their way to make them feel that they aren’t good enough for one thing or the other, or that they don’t have enough in their lives.

It may be that your ex girlfriend is just flat fed up from having to deal with the stress and strains of normal, everyday life. The last thing she wants is to have to prop you up when what she needs is your strength and support. In other words, if you exhibit any signs of depression, or you are just in the habit of appearing to be down most of the time, well those feelings are contagious. What she really wants is a partner who is going to make her feel great about not just herself, but life in general. So if you want to get her back you need to be capable of making her feel good.

If she sees you moping around she is not going to want to spend any time with you. Period. In fact, you will only be reminding her about why the two of you broke up in the first place. So do not kid yourself that presenting a mopey face is going to buy you any sympathy points. This can only appear to her as a desperate ploy that is virtually certain to result in failure. She will just see you will as a burden and you will eliminate any chance you had of winning her back.

Remember, what she needs is the same thing that you want from a partner - someone who wants help the other person deal with the challenges of each new day, someone who is going to be strong for them, and who makes them strong, helping to shoulder the weight of life’s problems. What your ex girlfriend wants is someone that she can face the world with. She needs to see that you have that spirit in you. If she can see these qualities in you then she is far more likely to view you as someone that she needs to have in her life. So, try to live your life with confidence, and even if you fail to win back your ex girlfriend you will at least end up being much happier with your life.
