Transcript
- 0:00Hi, this is Lucia with The Art of Love.
- 0:02I'm a dating and relationship expert specializing in helping
- 0:04you get your ex back or to get over your ex.
- 0:07This week I want to talk about dumper feelings when their ex
- 0:10moves on. Most people who've been dumped
- 0:13do not want to move on, and if they do move on, they usually
- 0:17don't want their ex to find out. But what if I told you that it
- 0:21may actually help you to get your ex back if you do, move on.
- 0:25How? Well, stay tuned and you'll find
- 0:27out. But first I want to welcome back
- 0:29my beautiful No contact army. Have you downloaded my apps?

- 0:55before you purchase the book. OK, so people are often afraid
- 1:01to do no contact because they think that their ex will think
- 1:04that they've moved on. And in fact, I've done a video
- 1:07on that and I will post the link in the upper right hand corner
- 1:10on YouTube. And in that video I talk about
- 1:13how you cannot use logic to predict how someone is going to
- 1:17act when we're dealing with romantic feelings.
- 1:21So just as your ex will not necessarily think that you've
- 1:24moved on, if you're in no contact, they may actually
- 1:28become more attracted to you if they think or know that you have
- 1:33moved on. Again, not logical.
- 1:36And in this video, when I talk about moving on, I mean that you
- 1:38are dating other people now, you may think that by moving on your
- 1:43ex will be happy because, well, they didn't want you in their
- 1:46life anyway. Well, initially that may be
- 1:48true. When they break up with you,
- 1:51they don't want to hear from you.
- 1:52But as time goes on and they don't hear from you when they
- 1:56thought you would at least reach out at some point, since they
- 1:59got rid of you and you didn't want it, they will begin to look
- 2:03at you differently. They'll begin to wonder what's
- 2:05going on and why. You could easily walk away and
- 2:08now it seems, even move on. They may wonder if you ever even
- 2:13had feelings for them. So all these question marks
- 2:17turned upside down become a hook, and that hooks them back
- 2:20into thinking about you. And when they're thinking about
- 2:23you, their interest level is going to go up, and it has to go
- 2:25up past 50% if they're going to reconsider getting you back.
- 2:32So sometimes moving on can be the way to raise their interest
- 2:35level. Let's talk about how your ex
- 2:37feels when you do move on. So your ex may initially be
- 2:41relieved if they were totally done with you.
- 2:45Or if you did not take the ending of their relationship
- 2:48well and you were constantly contacting them or pestering
- 2:51them, then they may actually be happy that you moved on.
- 2:55So now they can move on themselves in peace and not have
- 2:58to worry about you popping up. And if you're freaking out right
- 3:02now, remember I said, your ex may initially be relieved, but
- 3:07as time moves on, what happens next?
- 3:11There may be curiosity and surprise.
- 3:14As I said before, they thought you wouldn't let them go so
- 3:17easily and so they'll be surprised to see that you're
- 3:20moving on. Just because if they didn't want
- 3:23you to chase them, it doesn't mean they didn't expect you to.
- 3:27They may even wonder if maybe you already had someone else
- 3:29that you were speaking to, or if you were ever even interested in
- 3:33them, if this was a shorter relationship or a dating
- 3:36situation. And by the way, if you are
- 3:38enjoying this video, Please remember to give it a like so we
- 3:41can help our friend. The YouTube algorithm
- 3:45recommended to other people. And yes, other people can also
- 3:48find out what the dumper is feeling when they move on.
- 3:52OK, next your value will go up in their eyes.
- 3:56Why? Scarcity creates value.
- 3:59Something that is scarce or is believed to be scarce has more
- 4:03value, like diamonds. Or how about Lamborghinis?
- 4:07How many Lamborghinis do you see on a weekly basis?
- 4:10I live in Los Angeles, so I see them almost every day.
- 4:13But for the people who don't live here, they probably do not
- 4:15see them every day or even every week.
- 4:17So if they were expecting you to beg and plead, or to contact
- 4:21them at some point, and you don't, the fact that you're now
- 4:24dating is a message, then you will probably not be contacting
- 4:28them. So it appears that the window of
- 4:31opportunity to get you back is closing.
- 4:34And if they're having second thoughts about the breakup, they
- 4:37know that they need to make a move sooner rather than later
- 4:41before things start to progress in your dating life.
- 4:45Next, they may reconsider the break up because of social
- 4:49proof. What is social proof, you may
- 4:52ask? Well, I have the Wikipedia
- 4:55definition, and that is a psychological and social
- 4:59phenomenon wherein people copy the actions of others in
- 5:03choosing how to behave in a given situation.
- 5:06And the term was coined by Robert Cialdini in 1984.
- 5:10So an Italian, something else the Italians came up with as if
- 5:14we hadn't already come up with enough.
- 5:16OK, so social proof. Let's say there are two Chinese
- 5:22restaurants across the street from each other, and one is full
- 5:24of people and the other one is empty or almost empty.
- 5:27So which one are you most likely to walk into?
- 5:29Yes, I know somebody was probably going to say, well, the
- 5:31empty one, because there will be less of a wait.
- 5:34But most people will want to go to the busy one because they
- 5:36assumed the food will be better and there must be something
- 5:40wrong if the other one is empty or almost empty.
- 5:42So when it comes to dating, when your ex sees that you're moving
- 5:47on and dating other people, they may think, well if other people
- 5:50find him or her attractive and they're willing to date them.
- 5:53Maybe I made a mistake. Maybe my ex is more valuable
- 5:56than I originally thought These other people see value in my ex,
- 6:00Then maybe I missed something. Or maybe my ex has changed, and
- 6:04now they're more valuable. They may even ask themselves why
- 6:07they ended their relationship. If someone else seems to be very
- 6:10happy with you. Did they miss out on something,
- 6:12or did they miss something so that works in your favor?
- 6:15And then finally there's a good chance your ex will be feeling
- 6:19jealousy. If your ex's interest level had
- 6:22already started to grow because of no contact, then jealousy
- 6:26will be a great friend to you, because if they're wondering
- 6:29whether they should reach out, they're going to make the
- 6:32decision to reach out sooner around them later.
- 6:36When you go no contact and stay there, the thought is going to
- 6:39cross their mind that you've moved on or are dating or in a
- 6:44new relationship, and they're going to assume that you've
- 6:46moved forward with your life. And if their life isn't going
- 6:49that great, they're going to question their decision to break
- 6:51up with you. The tables have now turned.
- 6:54They thought they were going to be happier without you and now
- 6:56it looks like you're happier without them and they're worse
- 7:00off without you. And in order to induce this
- 7:03jealousy, I have the two drink trick which I have talked about
- 7:07in other videos. And basically you post a drink
- 7:13photo or video of two drinks. And if it's a heterosexual
- 7:17relationship, make sure they're not both girly drinks.
- 7:20Like don't post 2 drinks with umbrellas because most guys do
- 7:22not drink drinks with umbrellas, although they're missing out.
- 7:25So make sure one drink looks manler and the other drink looks
- 7:30more feminine. The implication is that you're
- 7:32out on a date and if you're going to use the jealousy card,
- 7:36you have to do it correctly. And I've actually done a video
- 7:38on that, so I will put the link in the upper right hand corner.
- 7:41But basically you have to be subtle because if you start
- 7:44posting someone else right away, they're going to think that
- 7:47you're doing it to get back at them or that it's a rebound.
- 7:49So you've got to do it correctly.
- 7:50So listen to that video. And by the way, if you are going
- 7:55to start dating, you also have to do that correctly.
- 7:58Don't do it just because you want to make your ex come back
- 8:01if you're not emotionally ready, because you will get triggered
- 8:04when you're on your date. You're going to be thinking
- 8:07about your ex during the date, and as soon as you get home,
- 8:11you're going to want to break no contact and contact them.
- 8:14So do not start dating if you are a mess.
- 8:18However, if you are ready to date, but you're not totally
- 8:22emotionally available, then you need to be honest with the
- 8:25people that you date and let them know that you recently got
- 8:28out of something and are not looking to jump into something
- 8:31right away. So if someone is looking for
- 8:33something more serious and is willing to jump right away, then
- 8:38you're not going to waste their time.
- 8:39And I noticed that a lot of people on dating apps have just
- 8:42gotten out of something, so keep that in mind if you are on a
- 8:47dating app or a dating site. So to recap as to the dumper
- 8:54feelings, when their ex moves on initially, they may be relieved.
- 9:00Next there will be curiosity and surprise.
- 9:03Your value will go up in their eyes because of scarcity.
- 9:09Then there is social proof. And then finally there's a good
- 9:14chance they will feel jealousy. So now I want to hear from you.
- 9:18Are you ready to move on and to other people or have you already
- 9:22started to? And how is it going?
