It depends.
Here are 5 possible reactions from a woman when her ex walks away:
1. She doesn’t care because she’s not in love with him anyway
In most cases, for a woman to get to the point where she wants to break up with a guy, it means that she will have already disconnected with her feelings of respect, attraction and love for him.
So, if he decides to walk away after she dumps him, rather than make her think, “Oh no! I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life! He’s the love of my life and I don’t want to lose him. I need to get back with him right now!” she thinks something along the lines of, “Cool! Well, that was easier than expected. I thought he was going to try and make me change my mind, but he just walked away. Now I can move on and find myself another man who can give me the kind of relationship experience I actually want. I’m free to move on without having to deal with an ex who won’t let go. That was easy!”
She then focuses on meeting new guys, hooking up and falling in love.
Meanwhile, her ex has walked away and is hoping that she will panic, worry and miss him.
Yet, she hasn’t been panicking, worrying or missing him because when she broke up with him, she no longer had feelings for him.
So, she just didn’t care when he walked away and didn’t try to get her back after the break up.
If he then tries to initiate contact after a few weeks or even months, she will almost certainly reject him, ignore him or reply and tell him that she is with someone else now.
He is then left feeling broken hearted and wondering, “Why did this happen? Why didn’t it work? I thought women chase if a guy walks away. Why didn’t it work?”
The answer is this: If a woman doesn’t have strong feelings of respect, sexual attraction and love for a guy, him walking away doesn’t really matter to her.
Watch this video where I explain that answer in more detail and give you examples to help you understand what you need to do instead…
If your ex has lost touch with her feelings for you and has possibly even said things like, “I don’t have feelings for you anymore,” then walking away probably isn’t going to make her want to commit to you.
What will?
Reawakening her feelings for you, so she starts to feel as though losing you will be something that she will regret for the rest of her life.
When you approach the ex back process in that way, your ex will naturally start to drop her guard and start wanting to be your girl again.
You can then confidently guide her back into a relationship now, rather than having to walk away for months or years in the hope that she comes back, only to find out that she quickly moved on and never really cared that you walked away.
Another possible reaction a woman might have when her ex walks away is…
2. She does care that he walks away because she was only putting him through a break up to hopefully gain more power in the relationship
Before a woman will commit 100% to being with a guy for life, she will usually test him to see how much of a man he really is.
One of the ways she will do that is by breaking up with him to see if he will crumble under the pressure and start handing over his power to her (e.g. “I will do anything you want. Please just give me another chance”), or if he will maintain his dignity and walk away.
If he hands over his power to her and essentially starts sucking up to her and doing whatever she wants, she will lose respect for him.
Then, rather than making her want to commit to him, she will begin to feel turned off by his lack of confidence and manliness.
Here’s the thing…
In most cases, a woman doesn’t want to feel more emotionally dominant than her man.
She wants to be treated well and loved, but she doesn’t want a man to turn into a wimpy, do-whatever-she-says kind of guy just because she is threatening to break up with him.
A woman wants to be with a guy who knows how to confidently lead the way in a relationship, take charge and not allow her to get away with bad behavior or with treating him disrespectfully.
If he can do that, while still being a good man, then she will look up to him, respect him and be a good girl to him.
She will happily and eagerly commit to him because she knows how difficult it is to find a man who doesn’t crumble under a woman’s pressure.
So, if your ex has broken up with you to see if you will crumble under pressure, then walking away will definitely help make her want to commit.
It will be a great way to remind your ex of her place in the relationship with you (i.e. beneath you in terms of dominance, which is where she wants to be).
Of course, her being beneath you in terms of dominance is not about making her feel beneath you in terms of intelligence, value or worth.
Instead, it’s about allowing her to realize that she’s not in the power position in the relationship in terms of dominance.
If you can be strong enough emotionally to create that type of dynamic with her, it will naturally spark intense feelings of respect and sexual attraction inside of her.
Then, she will be one saying things like, “I made a big mistake by breaking up with you. I realize now that you’re the man I want to commit to. Will you please forgive me and give me another chance? I can’t live without you! I love you. Being apart from you has made me realize that. Please, let’s just get back together. No more of this break up stuff. We’re meant to be together and that’s pretty obvious now. I love you.”
You can then give her another chance to be with you.
Of course, walking away doesn’t always work.

3. She feels some pain initially, but gets over it quickly and decides to move on
Sometimes a woman will initially feel sad and depressed if her ex walks away from her after a break up.
She may even think things like, “I can’t believe it was so easy for him to walk away from what we had. I thought I was special to him, but I guess I was wrong. What we had is over and he probably never really wanted me to commit to him anyway. After all, if it was that easy for him to walk away, then he clearly didn’t care about me. Even though it really hurts to think about it, I need to face the fact that he’s gone and focus on getting over him so I can move on too.”
Here’s the thing…
If a woman has had some experience with break ups she will know that no matter how sad, lonely and depressed she might feel initially, those painful feelings won’t last forever.
So, rather than focusing on how much pain she is feeling, she will focus on doing the kind of things that will help her get over him as quickly as possible (e.g. spending more time going out with her single friends, meeting and hooking up with new guys, putting more effort into her work or studies, taking up an interesting new hobby, using dating sites or apps to line up dates, flirting with a guy who has a crush on her at work and then going out on a date with him).
If her ex then contacts her after a few weeks or months, she will probably have healed enough to say something like, “Sorry, but it’s too late for us now. I honestly thought I mattered to you, but you just walked away from what we had like it meant nothing. It was a good thing you did that, because it made me realize that committing to you would have been a huge mistake. If you could walk away from me so easily after you said that you didn’t want to break up, what would happen if you were unhappy in the relationship? You would just turn your back on me and leave. Well, fortunately, I’m over you now, so it doesn’t matter. I wish you all the best, but I’m not getting back with you and I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Goodbye.”
Another possible reaction a woman might have when her ex walks away is…
4. She hooks up with a new guy to get over her ex
There are some women who don’t like the idea of being single and lonely, so they immediately get into a new relationship after a break up, or quickly begin dating new guys for casual sex and love.
If a woman like that notices that her ex has walked away after the break up and isn’t contacting her, she will usually just go about her normal business of hooking up with new guys quickly to get over him and move on.
So, f your ex is the kind of woman who always wants to be in a relationship or have guys that she is dating, then walking away probably isn’t going to work.
With a woman like her, you’re more likely to get her to commit by interacting with her and attracting her in new and exciting ways.

5. She stays in contact with her ex pretending to be interested, while she finds a replacement guy
Sometimes a woman will feel so angry with her ex for walking away and not trying to get her back, that she will decide to get revenge.
To get revenge, she will remain in contact with him and string him along (i.e. make him feel as though he still has a chance), while she secretly begins dating and hooking up with new guys behind his back.
To string him along, she might say something like, “Not hearing from you since the break up has made me realize how much I still care about you. I was a fool to let what we had go. Do you think you can ever forgive me for not wanting to commit so that we can work things out between us?”
If he then jumps at the chance to get her back and says something like, “Of course we can work things out! It’s what I’ve been hoping for all along,” can then string him along by saying that she wants to take things slow.
She might say, “Okay cool…I want to work things out too, but I need some time. I have to be on my own for a week or two just to make sure that I really miss you and want you back. I think I will of course, but I owe it to myself and to you to have some time to myself.”
In the meantime, she secretly focuses on finding a replacement guy.
Then, when her ex gets in contact with her and hopes that she is ready to see him, she says, “Umm…well, I have something to tell you. I’ve met someone else and I really like him. Meeting him has shown me that you and I would never be right for each other. I’m sorry to do this to you, but I have to follow my heart. So, please accept that we’ll never get back together again and just move on. I should have told you earlier, but I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.”
She then gets revenge on her ex for walking away and not trying to get her back.
He then has to live with the pain of being broken up with once again, after having his hopes up that they were in the process of getting back together.
4 Common Problems You Might Encounter if You Walk Away From Her
If you’re thinking about walking away from your ex as a way to get her to commit, you might run into the following problems:
1. She doesn’t ever contact you, so you ended up losing confidence in your attractiveness to her
When a guy doesn’t know how to re-attract his ex woman, he might walk away to hopefully show her that he doesn’t car.
He thinks, “When she realizes that I’m not even trying to get her back, she will come running back because she will know that we had was irreplaceable. We can then get engaged/married/move in together and have the kind of relationship I actually want with her.”
It sounds like a good plan, but it rarely works, especially when a woman is no longer attracted to her ex.
In almost all cases, a guy loses more and more confidence as the days, weeks and sometimes months pass where he doesn’t hear from his ex woman.
Naturally, he begins to doubt his attractiveness to her and as a result, he loses confidence in his chances of getting her back.
He then begins to wonder, “I thought a woman would come back and commit if a guy walked away. Why isn’t it working? Maybe I’m just not good enough for her.”
He then begins to lose even more confidence in himself and his attractiveness to her.
As a result, he may give up on trying to get her back and end up losing the love of his life, simply due to using the ineffective strategy of walking away to hopefully make her commit.
The next problem that might arise is…
2. You wait so long for her to come back that you end up losing your ability to attract women in general
When a guy spends too much time waiting for his ex woman to come back, he often stops doing the things that make him attractive to women.
For example: A guy might…
- Avoid going out with his friends to have some fun, because he doesn’t want his ex to hear about it and think that he’s over her.
- Spend more time at home playing video games/watching TV to distract himself, which ends up turning him into a bit of a loner, or makes him start to feel anti-social or even socially anxious.
- Post sad, lonely comments or photos (e.g. a photo of the beach, rather than a photo of him at the beach with friends. A photo of his dog, rather than walking his dog with a friend or two) on social media in the hope that his ex will see how miserable he is without her and come back to him.
Naturally, that type of behavior makes him seem unattractive to most women who then happen to interact with him (i.e. because he comes across as being emotionally weak, wimpy and needy or a bit of a loner who lacks social confidence), so he gets rejected.
He then ends up losing even more confidence in himself and in his ability to attract women in general.
As a result, he ends up missing his ex woman even more and thinking things like, “At least she loved me for who I was. I hate my life now. If I want a new girlfriend, I’m going to need to become confident again. I can’t be bothered doing that. I just want my ex back.”
This causes him to go into his shell even more and not only avoid trying to interact with his ex to re-attract her, but also avoid interacting with pretty women to attract and start dating them.
Months and possibly even years pass and he eventually realizes that walking away from her wasn’t the best idea after all.
The next problem that might arise if you walk away, is…
3. You over analyze any signs of interest from her
When a guy walks away, it usually doesn’t also mean that he stops thinking about his ex woman, or stops looking at her social media posts.
In most cases, a guy who has walked away after a break up (to hopefully get his ex woman to come running back), will end up over-analyzing his ex’s every move (e.g. on social media, what she said to him via text, the last conversation they had, what she said to a mutual friend) in an attempt to hopefully understand her feelings for him.
Essentially, he hopes that she will say or do something to clearly indicate that she misses him, wants him back and hopes that it makes it happen.
For example: If they are still texting, he might wonder about things like, “Why hasn’t she replied yet? Is she with another guy at the moment?” or, “She usually doesn’t take this long to reply. Did I say something wrong?”
Alternatively, if they are still friends on Facebook, he might think, “She clicked ‘like’ on my Facebook post. Was that a hint that she wants me to contact her?” or, “She posted a sad photo of herself online. Maybe she wants me to see that she’s missing me so that I will call her” or, “She added a new guy as a friend. Is she sleeping with him? Have I lost her?!”
Here’s the thing…
Over-analyzing your ex’s actions will probably end up making you feel pretty crazy about her.
If you want her to commit to a relationship again, you have to be bold enough to make it happen by re-attracting her on a phone call or in person and then getting to a hug, kiss and then sex.
The next problem that might arise if you just walk away, is…
4. You wait too long to start the ex back process, so she moves on
Even if walking away makes your ex worry about losing you and want you back, chances are high that she’s not going to make it obvious to you.
Instead, like most women, she will wait and see if you have the balls to take the lead in the ex back process and get her back.
If she realizes that you’re not making a move, a woman will usually try to move on by dating and sleeping with new men.
So, if you want her to commit to you, don’t wait too long to start the ex back process.
Interact with her (on the phone and especially in person) and spark her feelings of respect, sexual attraction and love, so she actually has a reason to want to commit to you again.
Don’t waste anymore time waiting that she will come running back and saying that she wants to commit.
When guys use that approach, they usually waste a lot of time and end up losing their woman as well.
So, if you want her back, make it happen now.
She is waiting for you…
