Fortunately, we have all the advice you need to make him realize you're the one who got away.

This article is based on an interview with our psychic astrologer, Stina Garbis, owner of Psychic Stina. Check out the full interview here.

Pretend you’re moving on.

A Virgo will get jealous if he thinks you’re over him. Act like you don't need him anymore by meeting new people. Try posting on social media that you're dating again and trying new experiences, even if you aren't yet. You don't have to go on dates for him to believe you're on the prowl.
- You might post a snap that says, “Met a cool guy tonight,” or “Loving the single life.”
- If he texts you, be vague about what you’re doing. You might reply, “I’m getting ready to go out tonight,” or “I forgot to text back because I’m so busy.”

Give him some space so he can miss you.

A Virgo may push you away, but he’s also sad to see you go. If you're trying to stay friends, tell him that you need some space to think about things. Then, stop communicating with him for at least a week to show him you’re moving on. Hopefully, he’ll spend this time thinking about how much he wants you back.^{[1]

- Similarly, you might post a photo of you at a new restaurant.
- Virgos tend to be really and reflective—they'll always be considering what you're saying, but also what you're not saying.^{[4]

Expert Answer

This boils down to how easily a Virgo is willing to forgive and how easily you are willing to put up with Virgo’s standard. If you went away and want to go back, ask yourself if you are willing to change, or do you want to go into back and forth battles with how you choose to live your life?

Virgo’s pride themselves on being the critic and being right, but if they push you away after a fight and you disappear for a week, the regret will grow. They like to be right, but they just want to tell you, and for you to change, not actually leave.
