If you want to get someone back quickly, your first task is getting them to talk to you again. That can sometimes be the toughest part. You want to be sincere and swift, without trying to come off as desperate or needy. If you were dumped, give your partner at least 24 hours to cool down before you go back. They need some time to cool down. If you did the dumping, get in touch as quickly as possible to let your partner know how you messed up. Call them now and apologize. If you send a text message, make it short and keep it simple. A short "thinking of you" is better than a paragraph expressing your deep, passionate love. Only do this once or twice a day, at the most. Be careful about just showing up at someone's door. This isn't usually advisable, and can come off as stalking behavior. If you're not welcome, don't just show up at an ex's door. Tell your ex that you messed up. Say that you know what went wrong in the relationship, specifically focusing on your role. It's not the time to call out your partner or try to be blunt about the challenges you face. If you want them back fast, just say it: "I was wrong, and I'm sorry". If your ex messed up, let them know you forgive them. Be willing to work it out. Be genuine and be honest. If you're not actually sorry, why are you trying to get your ex back anyway? Make sure you're not wasting your time. Knowing where you went wrong isn't enough. Let your ex see you take the first steps toward a positive change. Start taking those steps, now. Be willing to commit. Some serious problems may not have easy solution. Instead of focusing on these issues, show that you can change by working on the things that can be fixed immediately. If you were a heavy smoker and your ex hated it, try to quit. Let your ex witness the attempt. Show them that you've already changed. Explain to your ex how much better your life is when it involves them. Describe how much you love your ex. Be open and honest, without straying into fake flattery. Tell your partner how the relationship changed you for the better. Tell them about the things your relationship taught you and the faults your relationship had started to correct. Don't get desperate. Telling your ex that you can't live without her or that no other man will ever compare to him is too dramatic. It'll sound fake. Remind your ex of the positives in your relationship. You can't ignore the problems you had, but try to rekindle the good memories. Discuss the things about your relationship that did work. What was strong about the relationship? What was deserving of attention? Kindhearted gestures are a good idea. You want your ex to see your thoughtful side. It's a simple way to show how much you care and how serious you are about getting back together. Send flowers, candy, or cook a favorite meal. Write a love letter. Put pen to paper and write out your feelings in the most honest way possible. An old-fashioned love letter is much more personal than a text or e-mail. Throughout the entire process, you need to put your ex's needs and desires above your own. Be sincere. Make time for your ex. Let your partner know that continuing your relationship is a high priority on your list of things to do. Listen when your ex speaks. Be excited for your ex when he or she tells you about something great that happened. Let your ex talk without interrupting or changing the topic.

Summary: Get in touch. Admit your mistake(s). Show your ability to change. Explain how important your partner is to you. Focus on good memories. Do something romantic. Put your ex's needs first.

The funnier the things are that you surround yourself with, the funnier you'll be in real life. When you get home from work or school each day, watch a few episodes of a funny movie or TV show. Pick something that's sure to get you laughing. For instance, you might watch reruns of The Office or the movie Bridesmaids. Watch other comedians on YouTube to learn new ways to be funny and enjoy humor. It's also a good idea to start your own YouTube channel to get feedback on your own funny stories and jokes. Focus in on the positive aspects in your life and more on the negative. This will help improve your overall mood and make it easier for you to laugh throughout your day. Each day, think about one thing that you are grateful for and meditate on that. You can also keep in list in your phone, as well. Do you have a coworker who you think is hilarious? Or maybe an aunt who keeps everyone laughing? Hang out with them sometimes! Ask your coworker out for a drink or go over to you aunt's house to chat. You don't need to skydive to have more fun, though you can if you want, but do plan at least one fun thing per day. You might choose to go see a new movie that's just come out or play with your kids for an hour. Whatever you choose, sit back, relax and enjoy it. Lots of experiences and interactions with other people will give you extra material for your own comedy. Not only will this help you remember funny stories to tell later, it will also train you to look for comedic moments in your own life. Over time, this will help you have a better sense of humor. Every time you notice and write down something humorous, you'll be getting more practice! Collect funny stories about your own life or moments from others' lives that you find amusing. Write down funny things you find, such as quotes, messages on signs, or silly coincidences. You can't really enjoy life if your stress levels are high so cut some of that out! Maybe you've taken a second job to pay for the boat you just bought and you don't have any time for yourself. Sell it! No material thing is worth losing your peace over. Maybe you're stressed at work or school. Make a to-do list and prioritize everything. Do the most important tasks first. Take breaks to give yourself some relief. You can also talk to your boss or teachers if your workload is too much.
Summary: Watch comedies. Use YouTube to learn from others and get feedback. Reflect on what you're grateful for. Spend more time with funny people. Do something fun everyday. Keep a journal to record funny events and things that amuse you. Reduce stress in your life.
