While there are a lot of good qualities to a Gemini man, they also tend to be indecisive, which can make them tough to nail down. If you’ve been broken up with by a Gemini (or even been ghosted by one), making him regret losing you is a surefire way to keep you in his mind for a long, long time. Whether you want to get back with your Gemini guy or just get back at him, we’ll give you all the tips you need to make him miss you more and more each day.

Easy Ways to Get a Gemini Guy Back

Give him some time to reach out to you first.
Pretend to send him a message totally on accident.
Stay mysterious and enigmatic.
Limit your schedule so you're not always available.
"Forget" something at their place.
Distract yourself with new hobbies and friends.
Go on a date with someone totally new.

1

Let him contact you first.

Geminis hate being tied down, so let your guy roam free for a while. Even though it might be the last thing you want to do right now, constantly calling or texting a Gemini man could push him away. Instead, give him a bit of the cold shoulder. Since Geminis are so friendly and outgoing, there’s a good chance that he’s going to contact you first—and when he does, you can show him exactly what he’s missing.
- Geminis are known for being indecisive. Even if he broke things off with you and promised that you’d never see him again, you can still expect him to call or text you at some point.
- Geminis are ruled by planet Mercury, the planet of communication.^{[1]

2

Text him “accidentally.”

Pique his interest and start a conversation at the same time. If he’s taking a little too long to reach out and you’re tired of waiting, try texting him something that seems like it wasn’t meant for him. Send a message that sounds intriguing so he’ll want to ask you about it. Quickly follow up with an “Oops! Sorry,” message to make sure he knows it was just a mistake.
- “I can’t believe it either! Last night was so crazy!!” “Oh sorry, wrong person.”
- “I had such a good time last night. Thanks again.” “Oops, that wasn’t meant for you.”

3

Be a little mysterious.

Catch your curious Gemini’s attention by leaving out key details. Geminis are drawn toward mystery and excitement, so he won’t be able to resist figuring you out. The more you keep to yourself, the more he’ll want to talk to you to solve your mystery. Keep some things to yourself and don’t be forthcoming about your plans whenever you talk to him to leave him wanting more.
- “I’m traveling all next week, so I probably won’t be around to chat much.”
- “I’ll talk to you later! Gonna go visit a friend.”

4

Make yourself less available.

Keep yourself busy to make your Gemini man miss you. Since Geminis are so indecisive, don’t be surprised if your guy reaches out to see when you can hang out next. If that happens, tell him that you’re a little busy, but you can maybe squeeze him in. He’ll wonder what you’re doing (and who you’re doing it with) when he’s not around.
- “Sorry, I’m actually busy all day Friday. What about Saturday?”
- “Ooh, I’m all booked up that weekend. Can you do next week?”

5

Leave an item of yours at his house.

Remind him of you to make him miss you. Geminis tend to move on quickly, and they often need tangible reminders of the person they’re with. You can ensure that you’re in his head by leaving a small item of yours in his home the next time you’re there. When he texts you about it, you can thank him for wanting to return your item and then strike up a fun conversation.
- Try leaving something small, like a bracelet or an earring.
- You could also use the item you left as an excuse to reach out to him. A simple text like, “Have you seen my watch?” is a great casual opener to get you two talking again.

6

Pick up a new hobby.

Show your Gemini man that you’re willing to try new things. Geminis love diving into new hobbies or trying out new sports, just for the thrill of it. Do something that you’ve always wanted to do, then post pics of it on social media to show off.^{[2]

- Flying drones
- Hiking
- Rock climbing
- Playing kickball

7

Make some new friends.

Geminis are social signs, so he’ll love it if you are, too. To make your guy regret losing you, head out and meet new people or reconnect with old friends. The more you can show off your social butterfly status, the more you’ll occupy a Gemini man’s thoughts.
- An easy way to broadcast your social circle is to post lots of pics on social media.
- Or, have your friends post on social media and tag you for a more subtle (but still effective) method.

8

Go on a casual date with someone new.

Make your Gemini man jealous to miss you even more. While Geminis can be hard to tie down, they definitely value monogamy. Show your Gemini guy that there are tons of willing suitors out there waiting for you so he knows he isn’t your one and only. Hopefully, this will send him running back into your arms.
- Be careful when you date someone new—using someone else to get back at your ex might make them feel bad. Make sure you tell your new date that you’re only looking for something casual and short-term so you don’t hurt their feelings.

9

Do something spontaneous.

Geminis are mutable signs and get bored easily, so try to match his energy. A Gemini guy is sure to miss you if he sees you doing something fun and out of the box. Do something wild that he’d never expect, then post pics on social media or talk about it to your mutual friends so he’s sure to hear about it.^{[3]

- Try taking time off work and traveling overseas.
- Or, take a fun road trip for the weekend to somewhere you’ve never been before.

10

Change up your look.

Gemini men are visual creatures, and they have great memories. If you really want to make this guy think about you, do something spontaneous with your look, like dyeing your hair or trying out a new style. When he notices, he’ll be dying to see your new look (and you) in person.
- Plus, this is another great way to show just how spontaneous you are.

11

Dive into a deep conversation with him.

Fun, feisty Geminis don’t do well with small talk. If you manage to get ahold of him or start a conversation, don’t talk about things like the weather. Instead, stimulate his mind by asking him deep questions or diving into fun, interesting topics.
- “Do you think aliens are real?”
- “What’s number one on your bucket list?”
- “If you only had one week to live, what’s the first thing you’d do?”

12

Surprise him with a thoughtful gift.

A Gemini’s love language is almost always gift-giving. You can make him regret losing you by showing him how well you know him—when you’re out and about and see something that he might like, pick it up and send it to him. Or, if you don’t want to buy him an actual gift, snap a picture of it and text it to him. He’ll love that you were thinking about him enough to pick out a thoughtful gift for him.
- You don’t have to break the bank and get him something super expensive. Even a nice bouquet of flowers or a yummy snack is enough to show him that you’re thinking of him.

13

Work on your relationship issues together.

If you want to get back with your guy, you’ll need to resolve your problems. Meet up with your Gemini man and ask him to sit and talk with you about your relationship. Clearly spell out what went wrong and what you’d like to do to fix it. If he regrets losing you, he’ll probably be happy to work on the relationship and patch things up with you.
- If you don’t want to get back with your Gemini guy, that’s fine, too. Getting dumped or ghosted can hurt, and it’s totally fine if you don’t ever want to see him again.
