How To Win Your Girlfriend Back - That Scary "First Date"

By Rachel Davis

If you are trying to win back your ex girlfriend, you are going to need to start wooing her again. This often means going out on a date. But if you go traditional and do the typical dinner and movie date, there's a good chance things aren't going to turn out like you'd hoped. Here's why...

The most important part of this date is that it needs to be emotionally charged. By that, I mean you want to do something different and exciting. Something that makes your heart race.

Why? Because when you go through an emotionally charged experience together, it automatically builds a bond.

Don't believe me? Do you remember the last flight you took - or the last bus ride, train trip or ferry ride? Now, what can you tell me about the person who was sitting on your right? Or the one on your left? My guess is... not much.

But imagine being a passenger on the U.S. Airways flight that lost both engines and ended up landing in the Hudson River.

As the pilot announces to brace for impact, you're thinking, "This is it... we're going to crash!"

Then you realize the sweet old lady sitting next to you is sobbing and wringing her hands. You realize that this woman who reminds you of your Grandma is even more terrified than you are.

You reach over and take her hand in yours. You hear yourself saying, "It's alright. We're going to make it through this."

Now, let me ask... Will you ever forget that old lady? Do you think she'll ever forget you? Not in a million years!

Okay, that might sound extreme, but here's my point... your goal is to find a way to make your date more emotionally charged than usual. Like I said, create excitement and exhiliration. Dinner and the movies isn't exciting... it's just plain boring!

You could even come up with a few different mini-dates for the evening. Does she like roller coasters? How about a short rafting trip - not the lazy cruise down the river, but a real one!

If you stick to the standard stuff on this first date, you won't get that bonding (or re-bonding) experience you want to create.

If you really want to know how to win your girlfriend back, use this powerful principle to your advantage. It's a proven fact that emotionally charged experiences causes bonding, and that's just what you want to happen on this date! - 16035
