When a breakup leaves you feeling like attraction is lost forever, it’s important to remember that attraction usually isn’t gone — it’s just hidden beneath layers of hurt, confusion, and distance. The emotional walls built during that difficult time can mask the original feelings that brought you together.

One of the first things you can do is focus on rebuilding emotional connection rather than trying to force attraction. This means listening carefully, showing empathy, and avoiding blame or pressure. When your ex feels understood and safe, the old feelings can start to resurface naturally.

Another key insight is to work on your own confidence and self-worth. People are naturally drawn to those who show they value themselves and maintain a positive, balanced attitude. This doesn’t mean pretending to be perfect — it’s about embracing your strengths and growing from the experience.

You can also use subtle reminders of the good times you shared, without overwhelming your ex. Sharing a light memory or a kind message can trigger positive emotions and curiosity, which are crucial for attraction to reawaken.

Finally, patience is essential. Attraction takes time to rebuild, especially after emotional wounds. Giving space while maintaining gentle, respectful contact allows feelings to grow back authentically, rather than being forced.
