www.magicofmakingup.com letter from a customer of Magic Of Making Up. Avoiding premature reconciliation when try to win back your ex.
I’m trying to write a novel, because I love to write and because I thought of something that I think is original, and interesting. I’ve shared the story with a few of my really close friends, and they all said they liked it. But you know how friends can be… they’ll say anything to make you feel good. So I’m not sure if I really believe them. Could you read my prologue and the descriptions of some of my characters, and tell me what you think? I want to know what you honestly feel about it. Don’t lie, please.
Here are the main character’s personality descriptions:
Ariana Chase: Ariana is 17 years old. She is anti-social and pessimistic, but she has a good sense of humor. Ariana has little patience with most anyone, and she can be very stubborn. Ari is klutzy but she’s smart, and always gets A’s on her reports; but she isn’t a nerd. Ariana is a proud vegetarian. She never wanted a boyfriend, but ended up with one anyway. Romance isn’t something she’s interested in. Ari has a caring and understanding side that she doesn’t show very much. She’s good at lying and acting, but she doesn’t do either very often. She’s also very artistic, and loves little kids (they’re the only people she has any patience with).Ariana can easily pick up on people emotions, even if they aren’t giving any sign of how they feel.
Owen Chase: 14 year old Owen is a kind natured kid. He’s very sensitive, and patient with people. Like his sister, he’s smart but not in the same way as Ariana. Owen can think fast to get out of sticky situations, and he’s good at thinking of plans. Owen is very observant and curious. He tends to overreact to things. He’s a fast learner.
Juliet Chase: Juliet is Ariana and Owen’s mother. Juliet has lots of secret plans and is the protagonist in the story. She’s cruel and harsh. She never lets people off easy, and she doesn’t give any second chances. Juliet overreacts a lot.
Jacob Parker: Jacob is Ari’s boyfriend. Jacob has a good sense of humor, and like Ari has little patience. He can be romantic once in a while, and when he tries to around Ariana, it gets on her nerves. Jacob can be rude, and a lot of times speaks or acts without thinking. He’s very outgoing and hardly ever gets embarrassed. Jake tries to act smart around Ari, but he can be very dense at times. He can be a bit of a show off, and he doesn’t even realize it. Jacob has a good sense of direction, and doesn’t get lost. He can be very secretive, and is good at persuading people. Jake is 17.
Nakia Overon: Nakia is also 17 years old. She is Ari’s best friend, and they have known each other since first grade. Nakia is very caring, patient, and optimistic. She can find good in just about everything except for raisins and the color pink. Nakia isn’t girly, but she’s not a Tomboy either. She can be shy and stubborn.
This is the prologue:
Rain poured down on me, beating into my skin. Soaking wet hair clung to my face. A faint sound called to me. Like an angel calling me to heaven, it sounded sweet and gentle. I was almost sure I was dead. What other explanation was there for all of this?
“Ariana,” the sweet voice cried out, “Ariana, where are you? I know you’re here.” Brush rustled softly, but it sounded faint. Everything sounded far off and in the distance, as if it were slowly fading away.
Groggy eyelids began to fall over my tired eyes. Hunger rang in my stomach, like someone in jail, rattling the bars to try to escape. “Ariana? Come here. Help me find you. It’s Jacob. Ari?”
Please tell me what you really think of the prologue, and the characters. Feel free to give any writing advice, and suggestions for things you think I should change. I also want to change Nakia’s name, so if you have suggestions, please tell me. Also, I want to change all of their last names, but I don’t know what to change them to.
Please give me truthful suggestions, and tell me what you think of the characters and prologue!
Thank you!
Does anyone have some advice on how to get your ex-girlfriend back?
Hey everyone…my ex-gf broke up w/ me abuot 2 months ago. Things were so good for a year and a few months and we planned on marriage. we had done all the family introductions and looked at rings and life was perfect.
Then we hit some snags for a few months and she broke up with me . I’m heartbroken, she says she isnt mad at me but is not considering a second chance…
Even though I am shocked, because we had it all going so well. Here’s my question:
-I want to do something cheesy like play “In your eyes” on a boombox outside her window like Say Anything, or ask her to meet me on the Golden Gate Bridge on Valentine’s Day like in Sex and the City.
Those are cheesy but also kind of romantic.
Do you think those are better saved for the movies, or can I try one?
Who Else Wants the Secret to Getting Your Girlfriend Back To get girlfriend back after a break up is going to require not only effort but a way of showing them how much you love them as well.
Although your break up at the time may seem something tragic, there is nothing more reassuring than the thought of trying to repair what the problem is with them and so win them back.
In this article we offer five steps which you may find useful in order to help you win back your girlfriend.
Step 1 – It is important that after you have initially broken up with your girlfriend give her not only space but time as well. Don’t automatically start contacting her after the breakup, but rather give a month or so and then get in contact with her once more.
Step 2 – Because you were together you are going to be the one who knows more about what she likes and dislikes than anyone else and certainly gives you an advantage over others who know her. Arrange to meet her in locations that she feels comfortable with and try to avoid having yours or her friends with you when you do. If she is unwilling to meet with you then start off by talking to her on the phone, but don’t just turn up unexpectedly in places where she is going to be.
Step 3 – It is important that when you do get together on when talking on the phone you don’t talk up about the break up or the problems that your relationship was having. Rather talk about those things that were positive in it. When …
Whether your ex broke up with you yesterday, last week, or last month, if you want him or her back it can be hard to move on. You replay the breakup over and over in your mind, wishing that things would end differently. You wonder what would have happened if you had just changed a few of your bad habits, or picked up after yourself more often, or listened more when your ex talked to you… maybe the breakup never would have occurred. Does this sound familiar?
If you have talked to your friends or family about reversing the breakup so much that they are all sick of listening to you, you probably feel like you have no where else to turn. You can’t keep talking about your relationship with them, because they all start to tell you the same things. Get over your ex. Move on with your life. If you let someone go and they come back to you it is meant to be. Get a hobby. Get a life. Find someone else.
Are you tired of hearing that you need to move on? If you really feel like your ex was the one for you and you will never find someone else like him or her, how can you ever move on? If you feel so deeply that your life is over if you don’t get your ex back, someone telling you that you need to get a life isn’t going to help much. If you knew how to move on, you would, right? If you knew that moving on wouldn’t be the biggest mistake of your life, it would be easier, wouldn’t it?
Look, your friends and family are only telling you that you need to move on because they want to see you happy and they don’t know what else to tell you. But when you know deep down that your ex is the only person you’re meant to be with, you know that moving on won’t make you feel better. When all you can think about is how to get your ex back, you know that you can’t move on until you’ve tried everything you possibly can.
That’s when you need a plan. You need to know that you can get your ex to fall back in love with you. Even if everything else you’ve tried to get your ex back has failed.

Does anyone have any good advice on how to get your ex back?
I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried that and what are some ideas?
I want him back..he moved so far away to take a job with his dad but we stayed together but he called and broke up with me over a month ago..I am 8 months pregnant..I am concentrating on my lil baby boy but I can’t but want him back also.
He thinks I am dating someone and is calling more often but today we decided not to talk on the phone for awhile while we clear our heads. What steps do I take for him to realize what he is giving up?
We are young 22 & 23..been together for 7 years. His dad walked out on him when he was a baby and my father did the same to me. I can’t help but feel like the same old patterns are repeating themselves. He has no family here but me and his son.
He says he won’t move back here and that if we EVER get back together I would have to move there, which I would. Ideas?
We have been together for 4 yrs. And have a 2 yr. old little girl. We were arguing alot the last month before he wanted to leave. It has been two months now. We now live three hours apart from each other. I am the one who moved. He now live with my brother and sister in-law. My sister would tell me if he was messing around she tells me he comes home from work the same time every night and doesn’t ever do anything. He tells me he still loves me and that he will always love me but he needs sometime to think about stuff. I was with him this last weekend and it went really good, but he said he wants to still see if we can keep it like that. Then I started in with him this week. I think I wrecked it again with my mouth. I am just really hurt, and then it makes me say stupid things. I just want my family back together. Don’t know what to do.
We were arguing alot because he was working days and I was working night. He is the manager were he works. When he had to fire the assistant manager. He had to work everyday intill they found a new one. So he worked like 140 days in a row. So we would argue because we never seem to see each other or got to do things as a family. He was getting really stressed out, but who wouldn’t.
When I said I think I wrecked it with my mouth. I kind of lied and told him I found someone else. I know I shouldn’t of done that, but I thought maybe he would want me back sooner. So now he is really mad at me.
What is the best way to get your EX back?
Some say don’t get in touch with him, don’t show that you are available for him, then he will miss you and wants you back. Some say try to spend some more time with him as a friend and step by step drag him to become your boyfriend again.
Who is right here, avoid or don’t avoid. My ex calls me to go out to dinner with him only when his jerk friend is not available, and I hate that. I need your advice, I want my ex back and I don’t know what to do.

My Story:
Two baby sisters(very annoying and destructive)
Step dad (i don’tt get along with at all, mentally abusive relationship)
mom (crazy and stressed out, exhausting)
friends (party too hard, not good to talk to about problems)
My mom just bought a house that needs alot of work so my home life is kinda stressful. Living with my family is very exhausting and lonely. My family is always picking at me, and my friends are bad influences. they drink and smoke weed all the time and they are usually to busy to talk to about anything going wrong. I play Ice hockey but im the only girl on the team which sucks because i dont really feel like im apart of the team. Its also lonely.. then i just got my heart broken by this jerk who led me on and then got back with his ex girlfriend. He left me hanging. and now im really lonely and going through withdrawl from talking to him so much. Also even though there is nothing wrong with my body i have insecurities about it that are eating away at me. i used to be bulimic but i have control of it. i have issues talking to people because i dont feel like i fit in with white or black people because im mixed. I used to not care what people think about me but the people i know are so judgemental and full of themselves. I know that if i could just get out of this city and meet new people i would be fine but im stuck here around the same average guys and evil girls. Also im a sophomore in an awful public school and im in all honor classes. they are extremely challenging. im getting extremely stressed out now that the break is over because i dont know if im going to be able to balance my emotions, my friends and family, sports, and school and i have a bunch of really hard exams coming up and finals. Does anyone know why everything has to be so shitty? Im feeling kinda suicidal and lonely i dont know what to do.. or how to get passed this rough patch in my life because i know when i graduate it will get better. but right now it doesnt feel worth living.
(sorry if i sound emo im not trying to get your pity, i know other people have it much worse i just need some tips) thanks..
Now Im thinking shes going a little crazy! K, so point is she still has feelings for him and says that she "loves" him. But shes the one who broke up with him. Now that we’re dating, Im thinking shes going looloo in the head! So she has thoughts of physically hurting me, I’ve heard. Shes telling my friends that she’ll do anything to make me and my boyfriend break up no matter what. K, so another thing to add to all that. Shes copying me! Haircut, the same she recently cut it. Dressing now the same, always wearing shorts like I do when she used to always wear jeans. What should I do about this girl? I’ve told my boyfriend how she hates me and wants to make us break up but she just won’t stop. She really needs to back off! Any advice? Thanks!=)

Today we are faced with so many things coming at us from so many directions. With all these stresses in life it’s tough to keep our relationships strong, and if you want to know how to save a failing relationship, just finding the time to work on it can be a challenge. This article will give you advice on love to save your relationship, it’s aimed at all the overly stressed busy people who still want to make their relationships work.
Here are 3 things you can start doing today to keep your relationship strong, or pull it back from the brink. It’s not so much about how much time you spend together, it’s more about the quality of time that the two of you spend together. Keep that in mind when going over the list:
1. Figure out what activities that the two of you like to do as a couple. It doesn’t matter if it’s round of golf or a trip to the local movie theater. As long as you can share an experience that is enjoyable, for both of you. When it’s your time, make arrangements for the kids to spend the night at grandma’s, turn off the cell phones and Blackberries, take the phone off the hook, and turn off the t.v. This is about connecting with each other, not just co-existing in the same place at the same time.
This is so important for two reasons. One, it will allow you time to relax and unwind from the stresses of life. That will help each of you individually and also will allow both of you to bring more to the relationship since you’ll be more relaxed and at ease. And two, it gives the two of you precious memories that you can relive from time to time with each other. It’s fun to have shared experiences where you can say ‘remember when we did…’? That creates a deeper bond between the two of you.
2. So many couples only talk about mundane daily things like asking your spouse if they had a good day, or if they picked up milk on the way home. Try to make time each week to really talk. Don’t turn it into a complaining time, just talk. Tell your partner about your dreams, relive some fun past times, etc. Make it a positive time. Really be willing to talk, and listen, and let each other into your minds a little bit.
3. Try to always remind yourself what it was that first attracted you to your partner. Was it their laugh, their offbeat sense of humor, their goofy expressions? Whatever it was don’t let yourself forget that. And while you’re reminding yourself, make sure to let them know too. If you fell in love with their laugh, tell them, often, that you love the way they laugh. So much of that positive reinforcement seems to go out the window the longer the relationship goes on. And that’s a shame. Everyone wants to feel loved and appreciated, don’t ever let your partner feel like you don’t find that thing you fell in love with attractive anymore.
A loving relationship is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Many people will tell you that relationships are ‘hard’ and that they ‘take a lot of work’. I don’t agree. I believe that if you are with the right person, if you’re both mature adults who really want to make the relationship work, and if you know what to look out for, your relationship can be very easy. Just use this advice on love to save your relationship as a starting point.
i went out with this guy for like a month and he finally came to me and said …i love you…i was amazed and so happy he felt that way …well within the week he broke up with me a total of 3 times and said we should just be friends!!whats up with that …he said he loved me and it was that easy to let me go? on our 1st and 2nd break up we went back out the next day, but now its been a week and he hasnt called nor tried to get me back!! what can I do !!ill take anything !!!any advice plz help me

:/
her. I emailed her and simply said that I would like to try and make our relationship work. She told me that she misses me as well, but she needs more time, which I am going to give her. Before she broke-up with me, she said I had been a "heel" at times, not quite a jerk, bust just a thoughtless, selfish, stupid ass. No verbal abuse, we always respected each other, certainly no physical abuse and no cheating by either of us. I know she will get to the point where she will be over me entirely, and I will lose my high school sweetheart (she found me after 26 years of looking!) Please, no smarmy answers, I’m hurting here. Have you taken somebody back that was a little insensitive at times (together 7 months), but who you knew was very sorry and who is, in fact, capable of change? I really would like to think that she just needs that time, but that we can run into each others arms again (OK, I know, a little too sappy). Thoughts? TY!
of course, she pulls the "I just wanna be friends" type of deal and I still do not understand why women insist on that.
Well we had a a minor fight, and the next day she said she just wanted to be friends adding how she doesn’t have those types of feelings for me.
I know it seems strange but I know that she does have feelings for me..because of all the times we shared and the arguments and fight we got through together, she is my best friend. I asked if something else was the matter, like maybe she thought I cheated on her, lied to her, did something to demean her but there was nothing of the sort except for stress from her parents due to the fact that they do not really want us dating..
and she’s stressed with her finals and I don’t want her to create more unnecessary stress for herself with this conflict. If it truly is not right for us to be together, then I’m willing to accept that, but this spontaneous change of heart is so strange to me, and it doesn’t feel like her and I don’t want her to break my heart, and then realize she never wanted to and wants to get back with me again because I would not…I thought I was being naive saying that what she was doing wasn’t her. She’s shown me so much love and care and she tells me things that are obviously due to love and I try to show her that but she can’t understand it. I tried to be confident about it, telling her that I know we can overcome this lil dilemma and this was just a silly little thing
but I’m not sure what to do, or how I should approach this..the thought of her leaving is starting to take its toll on me…and that confidence is going away..I really love her
if you guys have any advice as to what to do please let me know.
thanks for all your advice. I really like her so I really wanna make this work
my ex-boyfriend and i call it off today..yep Valentines day 
. We both decided to break up because he was under stress at home and school and i understood where he was coming from and i made it easier on him to just agree to break up. We were both each others first boyfriend and girlfriend and freshmen in high school. I really did love him but today he confessed that the only reason that he said i love you was because it was in the moment and he said the only people he would ever love is his family and i didnt really take it personally and i understood as well. he also said that we [the relationship] were going to end someday. He got to a point we he talked about home and how he said he was an a**hole to his family and how his mom think he hates her and i was just there trying to make him feel better. Him and his dad wants to move to Wisconsin where his dad side of the family is and i hate that and he told me if he was then he was going to miss me he also wants to go to the Navy when we graduate which i also hate to. Before we started to talk about this he came over today and we just hang out and i guess he just felt like it was wrong leading me on and he told me and that just made me have more respect for him. I am going to miss him and thats what makes me sad and want to cry. Im going to miss texting him, waiting for him after school and hanging out whatever we can and the memories we had. Im not mad at him for breaking up with me on Valentines Day and no matter what i will always love him and will have a special place in my heart for him. We dont have any classes and when we were dating we didnt see each other in the halls unless you wait for a while. So i guess thats good and he told me before we left that can we be friends and not ignore each other in the halls. i said yes and we hugged goodbye. Our relationship started with a hug and ended in a hug. I know he feels bad but i said dont worry about me im okay but the truth is that i was crying a river inside. Im not going to date anymore because i dont feel that there anyone in hs for me. the reason besides him being stressed was that he wasnt ready i guess..he said he wanted to wait because we did move fast and got into some what in a physical relationship. i deleted all the messages from him except his number. i do believe everything happens for a reason and i dont regret dating him or the things we have done. in 10 days we would’ve been dating for 4 months. Again i did love him very much and i guess i will always love him and if he doesnt move to Wisconsin then we still have 3 years old high school left.. and maybe down the road whatever life takes us i hope we can try again. Can anyone else help me get over him or any adivce?
Thanks 
Here is the story:
————————-
A woman, 23, successful, very good job, decent looking, sweet, smart, well rounded, relatively well-off has never dated before (her problems: a little aggressive, shy, distant).
One day she meets a great guy. There is a spark, they go out for three months.
Her shyness and distance alienated the guy, he was patient for the three months but could not take it anymore. He breaks up.
She regrets her attitude and she tries to get back, but he wants out.
A month has passed by and she still likes him a lot. She wants to give it another chance. She knows that she has so much to offer, and that he would have liked her so much had he shown him the real her, and been herself around him. She just wishes there was a way for him to realize it was just her shyness that lead to her distance, and that in reality, she’s a very different kind hearted person.
Here is the question:
——————————
What should she do? If you were that guy, what would make you get back to her? How about just restoring friendship? If so, how to get back this friendship?
Hi there, just a little bit of advice.
I met a guy at his work i was out with my children, we added each other on a social networking site, i knew him for about a month.
We got chatting on the site, i have been engaged for 7 years with 2 kids, he has been married for 9 years. When we got chatting we got a bit flirty u know.
Things can become outta hand if u know what i mean.
He said he liked me, started developing feelings for me after speaking to me every-night for about a month. I was feeling the same way. We both met in the park he brought his kids i brought mine, they played together an stuff we got talking more.
So we knew each other for like 2 months, i told him i wanted to be friends, he said he would always have feelings for me still but he would still be there for me. I quite liked that!
Anyway he ended up telling his wife about face-book, his wife saw he had a female friend, didn’t like it, deleted his facebook & his number, even got him to stop working where he worked. (that’s where we met)
He said he was falling outta love with his wife, same with me. It had been like that for a while.
So my fella found out too got on the phone to this guy shouting abuse, then his number changed, obviously by his wife.
So anyway i just let it go, 7 months down the line, somebody i knew told me where he lived as i was telling them, they knew him too.
Me & my mate went up there, saw him at his kids school. (this was 7 months after this ordeal) I went up to him to ask what was going on, he looked like a tramp, said he was really depressed, had problems etc… weren’t gonna go back to work. I really couldn’t believe how much he had changed in 7 months.
I explained to him that i still had feelings for him, he said he didnt wanna get back into all this cos there was loads of trouble the last time with his wife. He seems scared of her. He didn’t look happy anway.
I spoke to him for about half an hour, he didn’t wanna know at all, still said it was nice to see me & give me a hug but still didnt wanna know with being depressed & his wife etc.. said he was getting councilling to get better but why did this man tell me he had feelings & everything then just suddenly dissapear. I really had something there for him, but now this has just left me all confused. I wanna see him again but don’t know how to go about it. Any ideas?
Don’t forget all the kids involved were really happy in this situation, there weren’t a problem at the start.
Me & the man ive been with for 7 years anway weren’t happy!
I mean the fella who said he had feelings for me says he did have at the time, so question im askin is do u think he has or ever did have based on what ive told you. I also wanna get back in touch with this guy but dunno what to do??
Sorry about it being so long, any answers much appreciated.
Cheers.
I want my ex back and I just need more advice?
I just want her back. I am going cazy because I just don’t know wha to do. I just want to work thing out.I just need more advice on how can I get her back by actions. I mean if see told me don’t call her what type of action can I do? Also if i do that what will see be thinking about by me not calling and giving her own time. I need help?
Will my Ex-Bf come back or contact me if I use no contact?
I have read a lot of articles and even books where people recommend going “No Contact” so that your ex misses you and wants you back.
I am trying desperatly trying to get my ex-bf back. I miss him SO much. He got scared of how strong our feelings were for each other so quickly and basically got freaked out and ran. (he had been single for 2 years before we got together).
I tried calling and texting and trying to get him to talk about things but it just seems to be scaring him more.
Does “no contact” work???
(Will that give him a chance to second-guess his decision and miss me?)
Please share your experience & advice…. I would LOVE to hear it…. THANKS!!
My sister and I were on the phone and she asked me what would you do if your bf was talking bout his ex? I am very curious.
It’s just that I want other opinions, because they market this stuff to seem like its a sure fire way to get her back. Smoke and mirrors or do you have experiences that can help better than their advice does. Looking for honest answers please. (Do a Google search on "How Do I Get My Ex Girlfriend Back? …Number one relationship killer) and let me know what you think.
