Breaking up is hard to do. But it happens and, believe it or not, life goes on. Of course, it goes on after going through an emotional roller coaster of feels, tears and anger. But after listening to some sad songs, getting support from your friends and punching a few pillows, you’ll get over it.

Well…most of you, at least. The rest of y’all might be so devastated that you’ll even try to get your ex back. Well, that’s definitely a gamble and probably isn’t worth it unless you two are both on the same page. But there are a few ways to make it happen. Check out these 10 oh so helpful ways to get your ex back, guaranteed.

Sing A Song And Dedicate It To Them

Post it on YouTube and send your ex the link every chance you get. You might have the singing voice of a dying cat, but nobody will notice because of all the love flowin' through it.

Pull A Sandy

If Grease taught us anything it is that the best way to make someone head over heels over you is to wear a skintight outfit, curl your hair and start smoking. This is the only way to reach someone's heart because movies can't lie.

Go with a classic like "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo. On loop.

Contact Their Family As Much As Possible

Text your ex's mom and ask how her day is going. Advance to mani pedis and coffee runs with her and then you'll never get out of your ex's hair. Ever.

    I hope this article is a joke.
    #1 – Make out with your ex’s friends…

    I have been through this and it made me feel the exact opposite, my thoughts were as follows: “What a disrespectful woman, I made the right choice”

    Also any friend who makes out with an ex is not a friend.
    No Wonder Woman of today have unrealistic expectations and do stupid shit. Well done gurl for some terrible advice.

    I keep reposting his stuff on tumblr so my name pops up on his phone every time I repost something. That way he can’t possibly move on and hopefully he’ll realize how much he misses me comes back.
