Get back with me, love? |
DON'T JUMP THE GUN
Your ex may want to get back together with you and you may have even contemplated the idea, but don't be so quick to "jump the gun." You should first question whether or not you truly want to re-ignite the love you shared. Remember, you broke up for a reason and those reasons may still exist. Has anything changed between the two of you? Have either of you matured, grown or increased your willingness to compromise on the problems in the relationship?
ANALYZE THE NEW INTEREST
Does my ex really want to get back with me? |
Another common mistake is that your ex may want to get back together because they currently have no other prospects. They may not be doing it maliciously or intentionally but are just lonely or bored so they think about the times you shared more often and with an "everything was perfect" fantasy. Your ex partner may not even realize that this is their motivation.
And last, your ex may just be trying to get revenge for some perceived injustice. If this is the case, my guess is that as soon as they know they have you back in their life, they will kick you to the curb and say goodbye. It was all just to teach you a lesson.
HOW TO TELL IF EX WANTS TO GET BACK WITH ME: 6 SIGNS
- Are they calling, texting, or contacting you more frequently?
- Do they stop by unexpectedly to your home or work?
- Do you see them more often at the places you frequented as a couple? The places you stopped seeing them at right after the break up?
- Do they contact you "out of the blue", for help of any kind?
- Are they more interested in spending time with you recently?
- Do you notice when they are with you they are more friendly and flirtatious?
These are all signs that your ex may be attempting to get back with you. However, it may be better to wait before you act so you can get a better feel for the situation and the possible motives. If your ex wants to get back with you the best scenario may be to have a "wait and see" attitude. Playing a little hard to get might prevent you from getting hurt. If you wait before diving back into the relationship you can see if your ex is really serious about wanting to get back together with you and you will no longer have to wonder, "does my ex want to get back with me?" You will absolutely know!
