Getting Your Ex Back – Why A Hungry Dog Doesn’t Get Fed!

by Claire Tourney

Perhaps you’ve heard the proverbial old saw about “Why A Hungry Dog Doesn’t Get Fed”. The logic behind this phrase is important for you to comprehend right now if you’re serious about wanting to get your ex girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife back in your life and you’ve been acting a tiny needy or desperate.

Think about it. What do you do when a hungry dog shows up at your door? You probably know that you need to shoo it away, because if you feed it you’ll be stuck with that dog coming back over and over for another free meal and that dog will become a real nuisance. So you pick up the phone and call the Pound or the Humane Society instead.

But what happens if a handsome, well fed dog with a nice shiny collar happens to show up at the door instead? Well you admire that dog, but you know it doesn’t need you to feed it; it’s obviously well fed and groomed and probably just lost or wandering around checking out the neighborhood.

So you feel a tiny relieved, perhaps even think that it might be nice to have a dog like that. Do you get the metaphor here? You don’t want to encounter to your ex as the “needy dog” – you want to be the handsome, well fed dog instead.

Exhibiting needy behaviors such as calling too much or begging and pleading with your ex to take you back only makes you seem like the “needy dog” to your ex lover and this will push them away even more.

As you can probably see these types of behaviors will not increase your attractiveness to your ex, but the important thing to realize is that people tend to want what they can’t have and if you are bothering them all the time looking for some emotional reassurance you certainly aren’t being the handsome dog they might admire but that’s just out of their reach.

You see people tend to enjoy people who like themselves, who are emotionally secure and confident and don’t “need” someone else to make them happy.

So if you’re serious about wanting to win back your lost love, give them some space for a while while you get your head on straight and cut loose the desperate, needy behaviors.

Then you’ll be in the best position to implement a SMARTER strategy to get your ex back.
