Why Re-Attraction Is Rarely Linear (And Why That’s Okay)

By Max Jancar | Published: September 23, 2024 | 2 Minute Read

As part of my newsletter, The Breakthrough Letter, every week I send out a short email with one idea, one suggestion, and one resource to help you break through your breakup and create a new possibility for love, either with your ex or someone new.

Here’s this week’s edition. Enjoy.


Today’s Idea:

Re-attraction — that is, the process of rekindling a romantic relationship — is rarely a straight path to success, even if you’re making all the right moves. It’s easy to think that by doing everything correctly, your ex will magically come running back. But that’s just not how it works.

There will be moments when your ex will seem cold, distant, or even mean. There will be rejection, awkwardness, and uncomfortable conversations. Your ex might test the waters, push you away, or even seem indifferent at times.

All of this is normal. Hell, it’s expected. Re-attraction ebbs and flows, and those negative reactions are simply part of the process. So do not panic.

Today’s Suggestion:

The next time your ex slaps you with a negative response — or no response at all — resist the urge to overreact. Instead of seeing it as a sign that all hope is lost, remind yourself that this is natural.

Then stay consistent in your actions: give them space when needed, set up a date when reasonable, and avoid placing too much pressure on yourself or the situation. You’re playing the long game, and setbacks are part of it.

Today’s Resource:

12 Simple Habits That Accelerate Re-Attraction — for a deeper dive into the unpredictable nature of re-attraction, read this article. These habits are not only effective in reconnecting with an ex, but they also help improve your overall well-being.


As always, feel free to reply to this email and let me know what you think. While I can’t respond to everyone, I do read everything.

Until next time,

Max Jancar
