			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nobody likes to receive a &#8220;Dear John&#8221; letter, phone call and thanks to technology; a &#8220;Dear John&#8221; text message (is that cruel or what?). The good news is that you can avoid getting break up letters and messages.  </p>
<p>Quite simply you need to work hard at your relationship and treat your partner with love and respect. Always make time for them no matter how busy your life becomes.  <span id="more-342"></span></p>
<p>We all get carried away sometimes. We can spend too much time at the office or with our children or sorting out our friend’s problems.  Meanwhile our significant other can feel neglected and this can lead them to breaking up with us.</p>
<p>Can you avoid this happening? Sure and it is often very easy. Becoming aware that you may be guilty of not putting your lover first will help. You can start showing them how you feel about them. Spend some quality time together and tell them how much they mean to you. Simple gestures work wonders and you don&#8217;t even need to spend cash. Take the kids out for the day and let her have some time to herself. Or take him breakfast in bed. Think about things they love to do and surprise them.</p>
<p>Make sure you find time to compliment your other half so that they know how you feel. Often communication between the sexes can become strained and rather difficult. In fact some people say that it is like trying to have a conversation between two alien species. You need to make an effort as otherwise you could find yourself dumped in favour of someone who will.</p>
<p>The keys to a successful relationship are love, mutual respect and showing consideration.  No partnership will survive without all three being present. The love bit is relatively easy! Showing mutual respect should be quite simple but we often put our partners down without realising we are doing it.  We may watch TV when they are talking to us or we could have a laugh with our friends at their expense.  We may even forget important events such as their birthday or some anniversary.</p>
<p>Showing consideration to others means we have to be a little less selfish. It can be difficult when you have kids or a demanding career or both to find time for yourself never mind someone else. Being a couple means finding extra time even if that necessitates setting the alarm clock for thirty minutes earlier.</p>
<p>Don’t confuse having a successful partnership with being a doormat. All couples argue and it is completely unnatural to expect otherwise. But it is how they argue that is important. When you do have an argument, you still need to treat your partner respectfully. Don’t use bad language or physical violence. Try to remain calm and listen to the other person’s side. Never bring up past events or disagreements.  Focus on the issue that is causing the problem today and work on resolving it. And then go and enjoy making up.</p>
<p>Follow these tips and you should avoid the dreaded break up letters and messages.  You should also consider additional material located at the <a href="http://796ab8ea9eddek3hn7m7urzo59.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GRR" target="_top">Magic of Making Up Site</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you recently experienced a breakup, and now you are hoping that you can win love back? </p>
<p>Getting your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend to fall madly in love with you once again is an endeavor that can be quite difficult. However, if you want to win love back, and you have the dedication and the patience to achieve it, you may be able to make it happen.<span id="more-250"></span></p>
<p>The first thing you need to do in order to win love back is to figure out what went wrong in the relationship in the first place. What did you do, or what did your ex do, in order to make the relationship dissolve?</p>
<p>You need to be able to address the problems in the relationship in order to win love back. </p>
<p>If you cannot rectify the issues that led to the breakup, then you are not going to be able to win love back when it comes to your relationship.</p>
<p>If you want to win back his heart, then you are going to have to proceed slowly but surely. If you messed up and did something wrong and that led to the dissolving of your relationship, then what you need to do is apologize, and work to regain the trust of your ex.</p>
<p>Are you certain that you want to win love back in the first place? Do you want your ex back or are you simply afraid to be alone? What is going to keep you from messing things up again? Are you dedicated to repairing the relationship once and for all, or might you slip up again?</p>
<p>If you are sure that you want to rekindle things, and you are sure that your goal is to win love back, then you need to let him know by apologizing for the problems in the past, communicating better with him than ever before, and giving him the space that he needs to figure out what he wants to do in the relationship. If you do not give him any space, the results of the relationship will not be to your liking.</p>
<p>Find out what it is that caused the relationship to fall apart, and fix it. If he was bored with you, find a way to liven things up. If you cheated on him, find a way to prove that you&#8217;ve stopped. Once you can undo the underlying causes of the break up, you and your ex can start learning to rebuild things in a healthy and proactive way and this will allow you to win love back once and for all. </p>
<p>Learning how to win love back is all about knowing what went wrong the first time around so that you can prevent it from happening again. It may take some serious time and effort, but the investment is well worthwhile when you consider the positive results that are possible in situations like these.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you saying, “I miss my ex boyfriend” and wondering what you’re going to do? Losing a boyfriend is a painful thing, especially if you really love him. And unfortunately, “I miss my ex boyfriend” is a common cry these days. </p>
<p>You have to decide when the time comes to stop saying, “I miss my ex boyfriend!” and start saying, “I’m going to get my boyfriend back!” It’s hard enough to be missing him without having to worry about strategies to get him back, but they’re important. <span id="more-246"></span></p>
<p>These strategies will work even if there’s no chance of you getting back together. They’ll work by helping you feel better about yourself and your situation. It might not be easy to face the fact that you may not get back together, no matter what you do, and that’s normal. </p>
<p>While you’d probably rather hear about that surefire method of getting your boyfriend back, there is no such magic bullet. No one thing is going to miraculously work for every split up couple. If that were the case, then everyone would stay together, for the most part. Or when they did split up, no one would really be hurt by it. </p>
<p>So you can forget about guarantees and absolutes. Everything you try might not work at all. But at least you’ve tried everything you knew how to try, and that’s more than most people will ever do. </p>
<p>“I miss my ex boyfriend” is the battle cry of many women who’ve been involved with break ups .It happens to almost everyone at least once; and for some people, it’s happened more than once. They got through it and came out all right on the other side, and so will you. That’s important to remember. </p>
<p>It’s also important to remember that even though you do everything you know how to do to get your ex back, it may not work, but that doesn’t mean you’re a failure. The tendency is to blame yourself when this doesn’t work out. But for all you know, he has different reasons for wanting to break up and they aren’t things that can be fixed, in his opinion. </p>
<p>As frustrating as it is, his opinion is the one that matters most to him. If he believes it’s hopeless, it’ll be very hard for you to change his mind. You may end up just getting hurt worse if you try to. </p>
<p>But if he seems open to the idea that you want to get back together, then you probably have a much better chance of getting him again. In the long run, getting him back into the relationship after a breakup is the easy part. Keeping him interested for the long haul can be a whole different thing. </p>
<p>Carefully consider when you’re trying to get him back if it’s just that you don’t want to be alone, or that you want to be with him. You don’t want “I still miss my ex boyfriend” to turn into  “I want to break up with him.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is there something you can learn by being robbed at gunpoint?</p>
<p>As TW Jackson explains in the <a href="http://pickedbyrick.com/makingup-rel">Magic Of Making Up System</a> after your initial contact&#8230;you want to set up your &#8220;1st Date&#8221; again.</p>
<p>AND&#8230;the MOST important part, the secret and the part nobody else but T Dub will tell ya <img src='http://grandparichard.com/relationships/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8230;is the date HAS to be EMOTIONALLY CHARGED.<span id="more-120"></span></p>
<p>Okay?</p>
<p>That DOES NOT mean &#8216;dinner and a movie&#8217;. because&#8230;well&#8230;it&#8217;s BORING &#8230; and does not create a bonding &#8230; or in our case a RE-bonding experience.</p>
<p>In fact, you want to pack in several emotionally charged mini-dates in a span of a couple hours.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>If you just do &#8216;dinner and a movie&#8217; you lose out on a Sociologically PROVEN principle&#8230;</p>
<p>emotionally charged experiences = bond</p>
<p>Look at it in another way.</p>
<p>Last time you went to the bank, do you remember the person in line in front of you?</p>
<p>Behind you?</p>
<p>Probably not. Me either.</p>
<p>But&#8230;</p>
<p>What if while you were in the bank, it was ROBBED AT GUNPOINT?</p>
<p>and the robbers couldn&#8217;t get the safe open. The robbers are livid,  screaming and waving huge guns around. The tension feels so thick you could cut through it with a knife.</p>
<p>You are lying face down on the cold bank floor and can see your breath fogging up the tile below.</p>
<p>You are trembling&#8230;because it is eerily silent for a moment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh my god!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Where are the robbers?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Are they behind me?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Are they watching me?&#8221;</p>
<p>So you slowly move your eyes around and see a sweet older lady lying right next to you.</p>
<p>She looks a little like Grandma, and you come out of your own haze enough to realize that she is even more terrified than you. She is softly sobbing.</p>
<p>You slowly reach out and take her hand in yours and give her a little squeeze that says&#8230;&#8221;it&#8217;s gonna be all right.&#8221;</p>
<p>NOW!</p>
<p>Let me ask?</p>
<p>Are you going to EVER forget that older lady?</p>
<p>and&#8230;</p>
<p>Do you think she will EVER forget you?</p>
<p>Not in a million Sundays!</p>
<p>Now&#8230;I&#8217;m not saying to go rob a bank on your first date! LOL.</p>
<p>But you want to go on an EMOTIONALLY charged and exciting date&#8230;and preferably several mini-dates in a span of a couple hours.</p>
<p>A short roller coaster ride is one GREAT example.</p>
<p>T Dub teaches you more about things like emotionally charged dates in the <a href="http://pickedbyrick.com/makingup-rel">Magic Of Making Up System</a>.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also discover psychological tactics and techniques you can use to get you BACK on that first date with your ex again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are there &#8216;magic&#8217; words you can use to get your ex to return your phone calls?</p>
<p>Sounds hard to believe but there ARE words that will nearly cast a spell and make your ex feel almost compelled to return your call.</p>
<p>Cool huh?&#8230;</p>
<p>However, if you use this technique alone, without an &#8216;overall&#8217; plan or strategy&#8230;you may damage your relationship more than if they never returned your call.<span id="more-9"></span></p>
<p>****************<br />
What NOT to Say!<br />
****************</p>
<p>Before we get into the actual words, let&#8217;s go over what message almost NEVER<br />
works.</p>
<p>and worse&#8230;</p>
<p>Puts you in an AWFUL &#8216;psychological&#8217; position.</p>
<p>These usually fall into 2 categories.</p>
<p>The PLEAD- Where the message sounds like</p>
<p>&#8220;John, please, please call me. This is the 3rd time I have called. I HAVE to talk to you.&#8221;</p>
<p>And the EMERGENCY-</p>
<p>&#8220;Cindy, this is an emergency. Please call me as soon as you get this.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, I think you can see what is wrong with both of those approaches?</p>
<p>So, I won&#8217;t go on and on&#8230;</p>
<p>************************************<br />
How To Use Curiosity &#038; Self Interest<br />
To Your Advantage<br />
***********************************</p>
<p>Two of the most powerful forces in the human mind are</p>
<p>*Curiosity &#038; Self Interest*</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s the BIG SECRET!</p>
<p>When you combine the two, you have a recipe that WILL work &#8216;magic&#8217;</p>
<p>So&#8230;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at what you can say that works nearly EVERY TIME.</p>
<p>In a friendly tone:</p>
<p>&#8220;Hi John. It&#8217;s Cindy. I wanted to let you know I appreciate what you did for me. Call me because I want to thank you in person.&#8221;</p>
<p>Do you see how that uses BOTH curiosity and self interest?</p>
<p>John will NOT be able to resist! &#8220;What did I do?&#8221; &#8220;What does she appreciate?&#8221; he will be thinking. And<br />
he feels good because it is a positive message.</p>
<p>Now&#8230;</p>
<p>Before you call you need to do the &#8220;Set Up&#8221;&#8230;which is figuring out what he/she did that you appreciate.</p>
<p>It can be any small thing&#8230;but needs to be plausible.</p>
<p>But more importantly&#8230;</p>
<p>************<br />
2nd WARNING!<br />
************</p>
<p>Please have an underlying strategy like is laid out in the <a href="http://pickedbyrick.com/makingup-rel">Magic Of Making Up System</a> BEFORE you call.</p>
<p>If you apply this technique with no underlying strategy and they call you back you can do more<br />
DAMAGE than good if you do not handle it correctly.</p>
<p>Okay?</p>
<p>What I am saying is&#8230;</p>
<p>What you do before, during and after you get them to return your call is MORE important than getting<br />
them to return your call. </p>
<p>Make sense?</p>
<p>Have a PLAN!==>  <a href="http://pickedbyrick.com/makingup-rel">Magic Of Making Up System</a></p>
<p>Rooting For You,</p>
