But you are not ready to say "shit happens" and move on. You want another go. You miss your ex. You miss the happiness, the adventure, and the excitement.

Heck, I am among them. But you should be careful.

The first thing you should do is understand that no one knows your relationship, your intentions, and your heart like you do.

I can understand that it feels lonely and painful to be separated from the one you love, and you would like to use the first chance you can get to win back your ex.

But there is a way around it that does not involve you turning into the dreaded crazy ex. Talk to friends and family, and people who care about the both of you about them.

Once you get good reports about them, it's time to move in for the kill.

But don't go all out. Just try to establish contact first. Keep it simple and respectful. And don't load your messages with expectations of making up.

You Should Not Put Any Undue Pressure On You Ex

The goal here is to have a communication channel through which you can later build a relationship.
