I am a relationship counselor and I often get asked on how to get your ex boyfriend back. My first response is usually to say that he’s probably your ex for a good reason and that you should look forwards rather than backwards. However, if you have made the decision that it’s really important to you to get him back then I suggest you implement one of two strategies: lust or threat. The first tactic is as old as time itself - go round to his house wearing nothing but stockings, suspenders, high heels and a coat. I shall leave the rest to your imagination. The other is the more bunny-boiling technique. You could try harassing him by watering his carpets and sowing watercress seeds while he’s away on holiday. If you keep up this kind of pressure he may relent and agree to go out with you again. As a general rule I would tend to opt for the former strategy.
