Mending Fences - How To Win Her Back After A Fight

By Rachel T. Davis

You're on your way to building a great relationship and then it happens. The big fight. Suddenly your girlfriend's not talking to you anymore. What can you do without making things worse? Don't panic. It's possible to win her back by following a few simple steps.

Before doing anything els, here are some important questions you need to ask yourself.

- Has what you were arguing about been blown all out of proportion?

- Is it even something you should be arguing about right now?

- Is there any good reason to keep fighting about this? Or is it best to just forget about it and move on?

- Is this something that's even worth fighting about to begin with?

If you can honestly answer "no" to any of those questions, it's time to stop pressing the matter and let it slide. Many times, a break up can be prevented or quickly rekindled once the argument is settled. The truth is, many of these big arguments are completely unnecessary and can be put to rest simply by letting the tension go and moving on.

You also need to stop worrying about how things look. By that, I mean you can't put "winning" above everything else. If you do, you're in for a lonely road ahead of you. Put your ego aside and start thinking about how you two can resolve things - even if it means eating a little crow.

This is also a good time to put some distance between the two of you - both mentally and emotionally. I know that sounds strange, but by taking yourself out of the situation for a time will reduce the stress you're both feeling. You don't have to cut off communication completely, but you need to find a way to stay positive and keep your emotions under control until things cool down a bit.

Once you've had time to cool off, you'll be able to talk about the situation more reasonably. It's important to stay calm and see things for what they really are. By waiting until you're more relaxed and not as keyed up, you'll be able to act in a more loving way, which will make your girlfriend more open to what you've got to say.

Most big fights can be worked through, as long as you and your girlfriend can focus on being patient and kind to each other. This should be your main goal if you want to rekindle that flame and get your relationship back on track again.

Following these steps will put you on your way to working things out. Why not give it a try? They helped me get back with my boyfriend after a huge argument last year. Now it's your turn. - 16463
