How to make an Aries man want you back: 10 essential steps

Are you wanting to give things another go with your Aries ex?

Aries are known for being passionate, motivated and confident, and very direct in their response.

They also love the thrill of the chase, so you aren’t going to win them back by getting on your knees and begging. Where’ the fun in that?

Here are some tried-and-tested ways you can win an Aries man back. For good.

Aries men and break-ups

Aries men don’t like to be dumped.

If he gets the sense that things are coming to an end, then he’s more than likely to jump the gun and end it himself.

He is more than willing to act impulsively – it’s part of his fiery nature.

This means that he may not actually be done with the relationship at all. Before long, he might realise that he does want to get back together with you and perhaps acted a little hastily (as is his nature).

On the other hand, if you dumped your Aries man and now want to win him back, be prepared for a lot of resistance.

He will naturally be very upset and his ego will be a little shattered. It will take time to rebuild if you’re hoping to win him back. But not impossible.

If you’re hoping to win your Aries man back, here are 10 steps you can take to get back on his radar and win him over again.

10 steps to make an Aries man want you back

1) Give him space

Break ups are hard. Whether you’re the one doing the breaking up, or you’re the one on the receiving end, it still takes time to process all those emotions and feelings.

The first thing you need to do if you hope to win your Aries man back is give him the space he needs to breathe after the break-up. The space to recollect his thoughts.

The truth is, if you’re constantly in his ear after the break-up, trying to apologise for whatever went wrong, or simply trying to prove yourself to him, it’s likely to have the opposite effect. Clingy, whingy people are a big turn off for an Aries man.

For your Aries man, it will solidify those feelings post break-up and reconfirm that it’s the right decision. That he’s ready to move on. It will simply push him away further.

Instead, with a little time apart for you both to work out your feelings, he might be ready to give it another go – and you might too. With the space to pinpoint what when wrong and make some changes, you never know where your relationship might lead.

2) Play it cool

If you want to spark up the thrill of the chase again with your Aries man, then you need to start off by playing it cool. An Aries man doesn’t want things served to him on the plate. He’s a conqueror, and that’s exactly what you need to trigger in him again.

This can be hard to do, especially if you’re desperately wanting to get his attention and have a very impatient personality yourself.

The simple fact is, if you make it too easy for an Aries man, then he’s not going to bother. He wants to chase you and will love the idea of trying to win you back.

They often say: absence makes the heart grow fonder. This couldn’t be truer in this situation. As hard as it is, stay away and don’t give him any signs you’re even remotely into him and want him back. So, how do you go about this one?

If he hasn’t contact you, then avoid reaching out to him until he’s had some space.

If he does message, then don’t reply straight away. Let it simmer for a little bit before you get back to him.

The cool shoulder is enough to trigger that chase in him. If he’s interested and wants you back, you’ll know soon enough.

3) Don’t make him jealous

We all get tempted by the jealous game. It always sounds like a great way to win a man back. Make him jealous so he knows exactly what he’s missing. I mean, what’s better than showing a man how desirable you are by actually being with another man. Seems like a great idea to let your man see what he has missed out on.

This doesn’t work with an Aries man. He values loyalty over everything else, so if he sees you with another man, he will take it as a sign that the relationship is well and truly over and he will move on. He’s not going to hang around if there is another man on the scene.

Don’t post photos of other men on your socials for him to see and don’t brag to any mutual friends about seeing other guys after the break-up.

You need to find the right balance between letting him know that he’s still the only one for you, while giving him that much-needed space to work through his own feelings as well. Show him that you’re working on yourself and spending time with family and friends.

Even if he tries to make you feel jealous and get into your head, if you really want to win him back, don’t stoop to the same level. It will definitely backfire on you.

4) Make your intentions known

After you’ve giving him the space he needs, you need to make you intentions know to your Aries man. It can be tempting to settle back and drop the odd hint here and there, in the hope that he catches on, but this is the last thing you want to do.

Aries men are attracted to strong, independent women. He will respect you so much more if you are able to muster up the confidence to let him know your intentions.

Make sure he knows exactly where you stand, without the need for any begging, whinging, or complaining in the process. It can be as simple as, “I’m still interested and hope to make things work again between us.” and leave it at that.

You’ve set your intentions, shown your strength and confidence and you’ve triggered his interests.

5) Reinvent yourself

Instead of sitting back and waiting to see if he takes the bait, now’s the perfect time spend a little time working on yourself.  

Aries men are dynamic and they embrace change. For them, it’s the need for constant stimulation that keeps them on their toes.

Changing your appearance is a great way to get his attention and to reignite that attraction he has for you.

There are so many different things to explore, but most importantly, make sure you’re doing it for you. Think of it as an added bonus if your Aries man likes it as well. At the end of the day, you may not win him back and you don’t want to be stuck with a look that you don’t enjoy.

Consider dying your hair, change your wardrobe, or pick up a new hobby.

Reinventing yourself is the perfect way to regain, and keep, his interest.

6) Be willing to listen

If you’re meeting up with your Aries man post break-up, then now’s your chance to listen to him. Let him talk and voice any concerns he has about getting back in a relationship with you.

Not everything he has to say will be nice. There’s a reason the two of you broke up in the first place, and you need to accept it isn’t all roses in your relationship.

The best thing you can do is avoid getting defensive. It’s tempting to jump in and defend your words or actions, but it won’t serve the purpose you’re hoping. Instead, it will show him you haven’t changed at all, and that getting back into a relationship with you would be a mistake.

He wants you to hear him and to let him know that you’re willing to work on the issues the two of you have. Of course, it shouldn’t stop you from bringing up your own concerns as well. Relationships take two people to work, so it’s important that you also share things you want him to work on as well.

This can be a hard step when you’re trying to win him back. The last thing you want is to put him in his place and risk losing him altogether. But, he will respect you for it. He knows he’s not without fault and will respect your confidence to speak up and let him know.

7) Apologise for past mistakes

Let’s face it, you broke up for a reason. There’s no sense getting back together unless you have been able to work through past hurts. Being willing to listen is one step, but you need to go to that next level and actually apologise for any mistakes you made in the relationship.

It doesn’t matter whose fault the break-up was, playing the blame game won’t get you anywhere if you’re hoping to move on. An Aries man wants to here that you recognise the part you played, and may even offer you an apology if you lead the way.

An apology is the perfect way to clear the air, to give you both a fresh slate to start something new. It’s important not to spend too much time rehashing the past in the process.

An Aries man doesn’t get stuck in the past – he lives in the present and focuses on that moment. Don’t spend too much time going over what has transpired between the two of you. Instead, keep it focused on how to move forward and set your sights on the future.

Make him feel optimistic about what the two of you can have again together.

8) Trigger his hero instinct

Have you heard of the hero instinct? If you’re wanting to win your Aries man back, then all you need to do is trigger this instinct in him.

Once you do, he will quite literally be eating from the palm of your hand.

There’s a good chance your relationship ended in the first place because this instinct was never triggered in him.

When it comes to relationships, men want to be an everyday hero.

Don’t worry, it’s not about the capes, or dramatically coming in for the rescue, so don’t stress yourself out.

Instead, it’s about being needed and essential to you. You need to trigger his hero instinct. Once they feel this, they won’t want to be apart.

If you can make your Aries man feel that way, then he will come crawling back on his hands and knees. The trick is, most men don’t even realise they have this deep-rooted biological desire.

So, where did this concept come from? It was coined by relationships expert James Bauer and he offers up plenty of advice on the topic.

In his excellent free video, James Bauer reveals the exact phrases you can say, texts you can send, and little requests you can make to trigger his hero instinct (and supercharge the chemistry in your relationship).

It’s the perfect way to force him to see you in a whole new light and trigger him to miss you in a way you never would have imagined. That attraction will be instant once you unlock this version of himself he ever knew existed.

Once it’s unlocked, your relationship has the potential to take off.

You’ll no longer be wondering what the signs of attraction are, they will be right there in front of you.

The dream!

9) Live your own life

The last thing you want to do is sit around twiddling your thumbs, hoping your Aries man will eventually come around. He won’t. This isn’t attractive at all to him.

Instead, you want to get out there and live your best live (while avoiding making him feel jealous by being with other men). Just because you shouldn’t show off your dating life, doesn’t mean you have to sit back and pine for him.

If there’s one thing he’ll find attractive, it’s watching you get out there and live your best life. An Aries man loves the conquest, and by putting yourself out there, you’re making yourself exactly that. If other people are seeing you as desirable, he will too. And it will make him even more keen to win you back over and let everyone know you’re his.

Go on a road trip with the girls, head out to clubs and bars, hit the gym, pick up a hobby, plan events with friends – and make sure you post plenty of photos on social media for the world (aka, your Aries man) to see.

It shows just how independent you are, getting out there and living a fulfilling life, without the need for a man by your side. You will earn a lot more respect in your Aries man’s eyes.

10) Don’t pressure him

When it comes to winning an Aries man back, you’re in it for the long game.

He isn’t going to be won around with persuasion, guilt, begging, or any other tactics.

You need to trigger that chase instinct in him, which takes time. Follow all the steps above, be consistent and be patient – if he wants you back it will pay off over time.

The more you try and rush his decision, or push him to be with you, the more he will feel annoyed. You will push him away.

It’s about finding that perfect balance between letting him know you’re interested, while also giving him the space he needs.

Is my Aries man done with me?

The truth is, not all relationships can be saved. Sometimes, the break-up is for good reason, and it helps to let things be and go your separate ways. If your Aries man has already moved on for good, then making him want you back is almost impossible.

So, how do you know if an Aries man is over you?

He stops responding to your texts

If he no longer even bothers responding to you, it’s a good sign that things are over between you.

He doesn’t just wait a little before getting back to you – he simply ignores you. An Aries man won’t waste his time with someone he isn’t interested in. It’s a big hint that the relationship is done and it’s time for you to move on.

He blocks you on social media

Ghosting is a favourite tactic of an Aries man who has moved on. He will block you across all social channels: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok…and avoid you at all costs. It’s his way of putting the past in the past and tying a big, beautiful bow just to seal the deal. It’s clear he has moved on and isn’t interested in hearing from you anymore.

Time for you to do the same.

He tells you so

An Aries man isn’t about to beat around the bush when it comes to letting you know how he feels.

If he’s done with the relationship and has no interest in getting back together, there’s a good chance he will simply tell you as much. There might be a few hints dropped in the lead up before he takes the plunge and simply rips off that bandaid once and for all.

How to make an Aries man stay

If your Aries man does want you back, congratulations! You have a fresh start to try and make things work once again.

Of course, you want to make sure you do things differently this time around, so things don’t end up the same way.

So, how do you make your Aries man stay for good? It’s time to trigger his hero instinct.

While all these tips will help you win your Aries man back, at the end of the day, the most important one is triggering his hero instinct.

This is a concept I mentioned above in the article, but it’s so important that it’s worth of a second mention.

If you ask me, it is the key to your relationship success with an Aries man.

Do this, and he’ll miss you every moment that the two of you aren’t together. He will flip from ex boyfriend to just boyfriend in an instant. He likely won’t even realise why he’s having this sudden change! The truth is, he won’t be able to resist.

It’s about getting inside his head and making him see what he’s missing out on, and this new video from relationship expert James Bauer is all you need to make it happen. You can watch the video here.

James explains exactly what the hero instinct is and how you can trigger it in your man.

All men have a biological urge to be wanted and essential when it comes to romantic relationships. This is something I touched on above. If your man is running away from love, then there’s a good chance that while his feelings are there, his hero instinct hasn’t been triggered.

You want him to feel wanted and needed, which means you will have to take steps to trigger this instinct in him. To make him feel like the everyday hero in your life.

It’s the key to a healthy, happy and long-term relationship and it will change your life.

So, if you’re wondering how to make an Aries man want you back – this is the key.

And it’s time to make your move.
