My Real-Life Experiment to Win Her Back
Okay, so my girlfriend dumped me last month. Total shocker. I moped around eating pizza in my bathrobe for a week until I found this article about getting your ex back. Skeptical but desperate, I tried all three methods. Here’s exactly what happened.

Way 1: The “Ghosting” Tactic
First step was radio silence. Zero texts, no calls, disappeared from social media. Felt unnatural as hell since I used to spam her dog photos daily. Day 3 I almost cracked when she posted sunset pics – my thumb actually hovered over the heart button! But I chucked my phone under the couch cushions until the urge passed.
Way 2: The Nostalgia Bomb
After 2 weeks of silence, I “accidentally” bumped into her at our old coffee spot. Wore the stupid dinosaur shirt she bought me. Made sure my phone wallpaper showed us at Niagara Falls – super obvious when I pretended to check the time. Her eyes got all watery when she saw it. Played it cool though: “Oh hey! Just grabbing my usual latte” – even though I hate lattes. Left after 5 minutes smelling like her vanilla perfume. Mission accomplished.
Way 3: The Jealousy Gambit
This part sucked. Asked my cousin Stacy to pose as my Tinder date at the brewery where my ex always does trivia night. Stacy wore this sparkly top and kept fake-laughing at my dumb jokes. Saw my ex glaring from across the room – she smashed a nacho plate so hard chips flew everywhere. Later got a text: “WHO WAS THAT??” Almost replied “My future wife lol” but followed the plan: “Just a friend ☺️”. Instant regret.
The Grand Finale
Next morning she showed up crying at my door. Started yelling about Stacy, then grabbed my dinosaur shirt collar and kissed me. Now we’re “taking things slow” but honestly? This whole thing felt like manipulating a Sims character. Would I do it again?
- Ghosting worked but nearly gave me anxiety
- Nostalgia was powerful – probably too powerful
- Jealousy backfired when she keyed Stacy’s car (whoops)
Moral of the story? These tricks kinda function but feel dirty as hell. Currently eating pizza in my bathrobe again – this time with her. Your mileage may vary.
