8 Ways To Make Your Ex Think About You Constantly
Breaking up is tough 💔; sometimes, we want our ex to remember us even after the relationship ends. It's normal to feel that way.
While coping with the heartbreak, you will be easily triggered by things you and your ex did, those beautiful memories you created and the laughs you shared.
After sharing beautiful memories with someone special, the absence of that particular person is challenging.
We're not talking about playing games but understanding how to leave a lasting impression.
Whether you're seeking closure, hoping to reconnect 😍, or just want to be remembered, these easy-to-follow strategies explore the psychology of staying on someone's mind. Their true feelings may even come out eventually.
Let's dive into the simple ways to ensure your ex does not easily forget you.
Tip #1: Use A No Contact Rule ✔️
The no-contact rule is a popular one.
Undoubtedly, the no-contact rule is one of our most effective strategies for getting your ex to think about you more. 😕
While we've emphasized before that the main goal of the no-contact rule is not to make your ex miss you but to grow beyond the relationship, we acknowledge that the rule itself is designed to increase the chances of your ex missing you.
The no-contact rule involves reverse psychology and a psychological concept called reactance. Reactance happens when someone feels their freedom is threatened, leading them to react to regain that freedom.
Simply put, 😔when you apply the no-contact rule, you trigger this reactance in your ex.
By this rule, we are referring to you cutting all contact with them like not interacting with their social media accounts.
However, it doesn't guarantee your ex will reach out nicely; some may get upset because you're not responding when they want you to.
Still, the no-contact rule will make them think about you more.

Tip #2: Adopt A Holy Trinity Social Media Strategy ✔️
We have talked about the no-contact rule; now let's talk about the Holy Trinity Social Media strategy.
If you need to learn about our holy trinity idea, now is a good moment for a brief introduction.
If you break down your life into three main parts—health, wealth, and relationships—your romantic relationships part might be a bit messed up right now, and that's okay.
Interestingly, you can fix your relationships by focusing on improving your health and wealth.
We understand it might sound a bit unbelievable, but let's explore a smart way to do this while making your ex think about you more. If you still need to check out my detailed guide on handling a breakup on social media, we recommend starting there.
Research tells us that there's about a 90% chance your ex is keeping an eye on you on social media. So, just by being active on social media, you're already making your ex think about you.
The challenge is deciding what to share on social media, but here's a simple plan:
Day One: Share something about your health.🎯
Day Two: Share something about your wealth.🎯
Day Three: Share something about your relationships (not involving your ex).🎯
Day Four: Share something significant or impressive.🎯
Day Five: Post whatever you like.🎯
Then, repeat this cycle.
We've discussed the magnum opus concept before, which you can learn more about here.
What usually happens is that just by showing that you're not dwelling on the breakup and instead doing awesome things, your ex will naturally start thinking about you more.
Tip #3: Implement The Zeigarnik Effect ✔️
The Zeigarnik effect is likely the top strategy to make your ex think about you more 😍. Here's how it works: assume that people remember tasks that are interrupted or incomplete better than the ones that are finished.
Imagine five things happening at once in your house, and you need to handle each one separately:
- The telephone is ringing.
- The baby is crying.
- Someone is knocking or calling you from your front door.
- Clothes you hung out to dry are getting wet because it's raining.
- The tap in the kitchen is left on, and it's starting to overflow.
All these situations represent the Zeigarnik effect because each is an incomplete task.
✔️The ringing phone won't stop until you answer or it stops ringing.
✔️The crying baby needs soothing.
✔️Someone at the front door needs your attention.
✔️Wet clothes need to be taken down.
✔️The tap left on could cause a flood.
Incomplete or interrupted tasks make people obsess. How can we use this to make our exes think about us more?
Imagine if you could always identify the high point of a conversation with your ex and, instead of continuing, you end the conversation right there. It might seem scary, but doing this can make your ex think about you even more.
Leaving conversations or dates a little earlier than expected activates the Zeigarnik effect, making your ex think about you more.

Tip #4: Go On Dates With Other People ✔️
We noticed an interesting pattern when we interviewed people who had successfully moved on from breakups and looked into what they were doing right.🤑
Many of our success stories went on dates with people who were not their exes. We've discussed this in relation to creating jealousy, but let's understand why it makes your ex think about you more.
There are a couple of things happening here. Firstly, going on another date with someone else tells your ex you won't be waiting forever.
After every breakup 💔where you are the one who got dumped, the person who did the dumping often assumes you're patiently waiting for them.
So, showing that you're moving on makes them face the possibility of losing you for good.
Now, consider what we know about the avoidant attachment style and breakups, 😔and it adds another layer to the picture.
People with an avoidant attachment style usually only start missing their exes once they feel secure enough to do so. And the only way they start feeling secure is when their ex shows signs of moving on.
What's the best way to achieve that? You genuinely move on. 🤕It may seem a bit counterintuitive, but it really does work in making them think about you more.
Tip #5: Show Them They Aren’t The Center Of Your World Anymore ✔️
Have you heard about how scientists believe our moon came to be?🌚
They think that millions of years ago, another planet crashed into ours, and the debris from this collision formed the moon.
This analogy illustrates the risks of not making yourself the center of your own world. If you choose to collide with your ex's world, often they consume you, and soon your entire existence revolves around them.
Imagine that your time is a cake. 🍰
You spend 70% of your time focusing on your ex's life and only 30% on your own. That seems a bit unbalanced. It should be the other way around.
In many relationships, especially with avoidant exes, they tend to be turned off if their partner doesn't have a life of their own. Does that sound familiar?
What's the most crucial thing for succeeding after a breakup?
It's relentlessly loving yourself. 💖💖
Putting yourself at your world's core is all about constantly loving yourself.
Tip #6: Infiltrate There Sphere Of Influence ✔️
One often overlooked aspect of "making an ex think about you more" is the influence of the people around them, known as the sphere of influence.
If you're unfamiliar, the sphere of influence includes the people whose opinions your ex values, like friends and family. 😎
For the sake of this tip, let's focus on his social circle and good friends.
Picture this: You and your ex had mutual friends; there was mutual love and respect.
Surprisingly, these mutual friends can act like little supporters for your cause.😚 It can be quite bothersome for your ex to constantly face questions about the breakup from the people who are supposed to be their friends.
It's as if they can't escape reminders about you because they always surround them. 🥰
Tip #7: Empathize With Them Through Attachment Styles ✔️
You need to figure out your attachment style and make an educated guess about your ex.
There are essentially four main categories for attachment styles:
- Secure Attachment:
✅ Comfortable with intimacy.
✅ Not worried about rejection.
✅ Confident that the partner wants to be in the relationship. - Anxious Attachment:
✅ Greater need for intimacy and closeness.
✅ Requires frequent reassurance of partner's love and commitment. - Avoidant Attachment:
✅ Extremely independent and self-directed.
✅ Uncomfortable with intimacy.
✅ Often hesitant about commitment. - Fearful Attachment:
✅ Combines traits of anxious and avoidant styles.
✅ Rare, with only 7% of the population falling into this category.
Most people lean towards anxious attachment tendencies, while their partners often have avoidant tendencies.
This isn't just an obvious observation; it's essential to realize that to make your ex think about you more, you need to understand and communicate in their attachment style.
Like five love languages, each attachment style requires a specific approach.

Tip #8: Stick To The Progression Of The Value Ladder ✔️
If we were to create a crash course game plan, the closest thing we have is the value ladder. 🪜
The idea is straightforward: you employ various communication methods to gradually increase your value, making your ex think about you more and potentially rekindle their feelings for you. 🕯️
However, we often see that many people are so impatient for results that they skip to the top of the ladder.
Imagine you've completed a no-contact rule, abstaining from talking to your ex for 21 to 45 days. 🌞
While this can make them think about you more, it might also lead you to think about them more.
Sometimes, when you're ready to move on to the texting phase of the value ladder, you might be tempted to skip straight to the meetup stage. You feel the need to see your ex in person. 😇
The challenge here is that the value ladder is designed to increase your value over time gradually. By the time you meet up with your ex, the idea is that they've thought about you so much that they can't resist wanting you back.
