Hi, this is Brad Browning, and in this video, I’m going to be talking about how to act

around your ex. So you broke up with your ex but you’re still constantly hanging around

with them. This isn’t actually something that I recommend doing. Normally it’s better

to completely ignore your ex for a while after the breakup, but sometimes the situation requires

you to see your ex on a regular basis. And that can be a very awkward and unfortunate

situation, especially if you still have a thing for your ex. But before you panic or

break down, I have some tips on how to act when you’re around your ex-boyfriend or

ex-girlfriend. Number one: always be calm, cool, and collected.

Many of the men and women I counselled tell me that they break down whenever they’re

around their ex. This sort of behavior will definitely negatively impact their chances

of him or her back, so you need to convey to your ex that you’re completely indifferent.

Number two: don’t be mean to your ex. A lot of people will feel resentful after a

breakup – especially if it was a messy one. But if you want to have a good relationship

with your ex and possibly have a chance of getting them back, then you can’t be mean

to them. Doing so will only alienate your ex and he or she won’t ever want to spend

any time with you. Now if your breakup was messy and your ex is still holding on to some

hard feelings, then you may need to take some steps to reconcile with them before you do

anything else. For tips on how to do that, just watch the free video at my website www.BreakupBrad.com

and I’ll talk more about that there. Tip number three: just like I said earlier

not to be mean to your ex, don’t be too nice either. If you’re too nice to your

ex, he or she will get the idea that you want them back. And if you actually want your ex

back, then you probably know from watching my other videos, this is not the way to go

about it. You have to act indifferent. So don’t be too mean and don’t be too happy.

Tip number four: don’t bring up anything serious. Remember, you’re not together anymore,

so there’s no reason to start unnecessary drama. Drama will only push your ex further

and further away. Just like in point number one, you’ve got to remain cool and remain

civil when you’re around your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend.

Number five: this is really important. Have fun with your ex. While you shouldn’t be

paying too much attention to your ex, there’s no reason to have a bad time. Be jovial and

your ex will really appreciate it, and if you’re trying to get your ex back, you should

also be flirting with your ex as well. Remember, the reason why he or she doesn’t want you

back is because they’ve lost their attraction for you. You have to reignite that attraction

and flirting is one of the best ways to do that and rebuild that attraction.

And finally number six: act happy. Remember you’re trying to your ex that everything

is okay. They’re not going to feel very good if you’re desperate and depressed.

That will just repel them away and hurt your chances of getting back together. Instead,

cheer up and convey to your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend that your life is in order

and everything is going great. Even if you’re not happy, just pretend. Put on a happy face.

If your goal is to attract your ex back into your life, then being sad or depressed isn’t

going to work. Human beings are hardwired to be drawn towards happy and positive people.

Okay, so hopefully these tips will leave you better prepared for any interaction with your

ex. If you have a unique situation or you want some advice on what to do in your particular
