Cupid’s Advice:

Wanting to try things over again with your ex? Cupid has some tips:

1. Have conversation: Start talking little by little to build a foundation of friendship again. Ask them about what they have been up to and how they have been. Show interest in their responses.

2. Be bold: Instead of asking if they want to go get coffee after work, send a text saying, “We should get coffee!” You are showing assertiveness and an active effort to hang out, and they are more likely to say “yes.”
