How do I get him back without seeming desperate?

Explain to him that you think whatever broke you guys up isn't worth being apart. That your lives should be tangled together as long as they can, and he means so, so much to you.

Come in slow. Start of as friends and treat him as your friend. Someday, if lucky, he'll develop feels for you.

This is a question I myself need answered. I guess, you could slowly work your way back. Don't over text or call him. That could send him away. Be patient. If it is gonna happen it will.... In its own time.

Try being friends for a little bit, start hanging out again. Eventually tell them how you are feeling.

To get him back you need to create a want. Make him want you back. The best way to do that is to be the best you that you can be. Keep up your appearance, maybe start a new hobby you are interested in, and always be smiling. If you are happy with yourself, chances are he will too.

By talking to him explaining how you feel and how much he means to you that what ive done to get back with my love

I will help him out by encouraging him through telling him practical things related to his issue so that I can get him back without seeming desperate.
