You created quite good plan for getting her back and all, but you are in wrong mindset, which is completely understandable, because it is impossible to be in right mindset so soon after breakup...
Yes, getting ex back is a game but you have to be truly prepared to play it, and you have to be prepared INSIDE.
And you will be prepared only when you are ready to let her go and when you convince yourself that you relationship is over. Thats why setting 1 month time frame and stuff are mistake. You are ready when you are ready... And as long as you are focused to get her back, you are not ready to get her back... I know it sounds crazy but i m sure that a lot of people here agree with me.
And nope, you dont reinitiate contact... She have to do it, no matter that you are a man... If you initate contact, she gains all the power cuz it simply shows her that you were unable to get over her so she can play you any way she wants...
So you dont have to play game to get her back, but to get over her... And when you reach that point, you have best chance that she will come running after you. I dont know is that possible (due to friend circle you are in) but it would be best for you to completely ignore her life and know about it as little as possible... That way you may not even know about her rebounds or stuff, it will make your life much easier, and will prevent you from doing wrong steps...
If you find out that she is in rebound anyway, you just ignore it... If you try to interfere with it any way, you will just make it stronger.
NC, hard next etc is for you, not for her.
Preach! Deep down I knew this already but it felt more like an "aha!" Moment when I read it in text form. Your completely right, I won't be able to get her back unless I can fully let her go and regain my own frame. Even if I was able to reclaim her I would not be able to keep her because I haven't completely recovered, so what's left to do is for me to work on myself more and work on getting over it.
This will be a hard mental struggle for me especially since I'm a software developer and I'm just sitting in front of a computer ALl day in complete silence. So she constantly turns up in my head. It's getting easier now but I'm gonna try and listen to some inner game stuff to block her out of my thoughts. Any mental tricks to help?
