One of the questions that you may ask yourself is how to get my boyfriend back. The dating game has its ups and downs, and the downs are more often than not the results of misunderstandings. So when you are trying to figure out what went wrong, these clues as to why men sometimes get the message wrong and back off, might be helpful.

One reason why a man backs off is not really that straight forward. If you try to serve his needs all the time, and make every effort to please him, in the end you are selling yourself as a doormat in his eyes. The idea is to know who you are, and how you present yourself to a man. This doesn’t mean to say that you should dominate. What it does mean is that being respectful and confident is a way to “get my boyfriend back”. Men like to be treated well from time to time, but they want women who can standup for themselves.

Another thing that will send them away is to talk about your ex’s. Many men see the dating game as a competition. They will see your ex boyfriends as competitors, so if you talk about other men from past relationships you are giving them something to compare against. Again, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t talk about past relationships at all. There is some importance to personal history and background. It’s OK to let your new date know about your college boyfriend. Telling your date that he is a football player with 20 awards, his game stats, where his tattoos are, etc. is too much. Talking too much about one ex could show you still harbour feelings for him, or if it is all negative, you will cause your date to over analyze themselves.

Being overly formal and business like, or conversely being too promiscuous, isn’t going to work in your favour either. In an ideal world your behaviour should be worthy af a lady. It can work against you if you show too much skin, but also, covering everything up could push some candidates away. You should be feminine, conservative, and someone who isn’t cheap or intimidating.

Pressuring him is another turn off. This includes, but is not limited to pushing him to define his role and analyse his feelings and who he is. Men doesn’t take it well when their feelings are challenged, and proving his ideas wrong can send him on the run.

Trying to change a man is something else that isn’t going to work for you. You can’t. More often than not a man expects you to love him for who he is, rather than who you want him to be, so if you try to change him, really you’re telling him he’s got serious issues. Whether or not he has a problem, attempting to make him change will challenge his feelings and change who he is as a person. Your relationship has a better chance of survival if you love him for who he is. If he’s not the one you need, then look somewhere else.

Neither of you are perfect, and the perfect relationship is a myth; but if you’re wondering how to get my boyfriend back, taking the steps above will help you not to drive him away.
