Save Your Relationship and Get Your Ex Back.

So, you've decided to get serious and do what you need to in order to get your ex back and save your relationship. Great. So what's next? How do you know your ex is really that "dream guy?" Where do you start?

You know your friends and family really want you to be happy. But be careful - they have already made up this image of what's right and best for you in their own minds. Guess what - their image of the dream guy is going to be different - sometimes vastly different - than the image in your own mind. Here's a novel idea - why don't you just make up your own mind? If you're a party girl, living on the edge then you certainly don't want to end up with a traditional, calm, button-down sort of guy. Maybe he's just not for you no matter how good looking he is. Your dream guy has to be just that - your dream. If you let someone else tell you what's right for you, most of the time that advice is going to be dead wrong. And you don't want to take bad advice when you're making a decision this important.

• If a Guy Seems to Good to be True, well... Sometimes things that look really good and true and right - just aren't. If your girlfriend is dating an exotic dancer, well maybe that's right for her (uh-huh, right!). But that kind of guy is not for you. Maybe your mom is telling you to marry a doctor or a lawyer. Before you make that choice, talk to some of your friends who are already married to a doctor, see what sort of hours they work. And a lawyer? Are you really,really certain you want to marry a lawyer? You have to learn to listen to advice politely, and then toss it out with the garbage. Ignore everything you hear people tell you, no matter who they are - and that includes me.

• You Don't Want to Miss "THE" Guy. If you know your own personality, your likes and dislikes and what your goals are for the future, then you probably will know the basic type of dream guy you want to be in it. And don't get hung up on that one type of guy because you might be missing out on more than just a new man, you might be missing out on the love of a lifetime. And that would indeed be tragic, right? BUT, don't forget your goals, your likes and dislikes - you know the kind of guy you want. That "dream guy" has been in your head since way back when you first started thinking about guys in that way. No, you don't want to miss him, but you don't want to sacrifice everything just to get some guy who only just barely makes the cut. You don't want to ever make that big commitment and then always be on the lookout for something better. That's no way to live. If you're going to get your ex back and save your relationship, make a decision to do something about it now, today. What are you waiting for?

You just might get back with your ex sooner than you think and your relationship could be as fresh and exciting as it was when you first got together. Or it just might be better!
