They become needy or desperate because they have just lost all control in the relationship and it's a scary thing to have to go through.
In truth, most relationships can be salvaged, the problem is when you call or text a bunch of times after a break up, or are overly emotional and begging and pleading with your ex to get back together you are actually just pushing them away...
If things didn't end so well...
If the break up was pretty bad and you made a lot of mistakes then you can still get your ex back...
You just need to ease over the tension and explain yourself...
You can try writing a hand written letter to your ex explaining how you take responsibility for what happened (even if it was not your fault) and feel that breaking up is what's best for both of you (even if you think it's not).
This works well because it puts you and your ex on the same side.
It also shows that you are a mature and independent enough person to just walk away...
Re-igniting attraction...
This is not always the easiest thing to do...
Your ex may know a lot about you so they will often know when you are putting on a show and not being real.
One good idea would be to set aside a weekend and take out some mutual friends if you have any that you and your ex both share...
Take them out while your ex isn't around and show them a good time and just have fun...
More than likely your ex will definitely hear about it...
