Dealing With "What If " Questions
You want to get your ex boyfriend back, but you're often bothered by questions as you consider the best way to
rebuild the relationship.
What if he does this? What if I do that? What if I try this and it doesn't work? What if I say that he responds
with this? What it? What if? What if?
It's a never-ending cycle of hypothetical questions. You worry about every move that might go into working things
out and find yourself constantly second- and even third-guessing all of them.
You can start thinking about it so much that you find yourself unable to move forward. It's an unproductive kind of
concern that can lead to a kind of “paralysis by analysis”. Worried about everything that could happen, you find
yourself in a position where nothing is happening at all.
If you want to get your boyfriend back, you need to put all of those concerns aside. It won't be easy, but it is
essential. If you're constantly poring over what might happen, you'll be absolutely unable to take the actions
necessary to re-initiate your relationship.
That's easy to say, but how can you actually do it? Is there some sort of secret that will allow you to move
forward in a way that doesn't involve constant second-guessing and reconsidering? Absolutely.
First, remember that your goal is to get your boyfriend back and that over-thinking every possibility doesn't help
you to achieve that goal. Retaining a goal-based focus and filtering your potential behavior through that prism can
help keep you on track.
Second, understand that there is an inevitable component of unpredictability in human behavior. No matter what you
do and no matter how many different contingencies you consider, things will happen that you could never conceivably
plan for. It makes the notion of thinking every possibility through seem almost ridiculous when you recognize that
you can never be truly ready for everything.
Third, work with a smart plan designed to maximize your chances of getting your ex boyfriend back. If you know you
are utilizing a sound strategy that has produced results in the past, it will allow you to relax a little and will
help mitigate some of your “what if” fears.
“What if” thinking doesn't inspire necessary action, it stands in its way. You need to move forward quickly and
intelligently to get your boyfriend back. Don't allow yourself to get bogged down in a cycle of unproductive
second-guessing.
