It can be very hard to tell what your ex means when you two still remain in contact. They may be affectionate, call you or do nice things. But are they just being nice to you or do they really want to get back together?
Emotions after a break up can go on a roller coaster. If you still want to get your ex back, it is easy to read too much into everything they say or do. There are some sure signs an ex wants you back. Read through the list of signs an ex wants you back and their meanings to see if there is the possibility of getting back together.
- Your ex is the one to initiate contact and still tries to keep in touch. Sure, they may just want to be friends, but more likely they still have feelings for you. This is a sign they may miss having you around. This sign does not apply if they are contacting you because they need something from you (to get their stuff back, to go over bills or paperwork, etc.)
- Your ex changes their appearance. This sign is a bit tricky. It could mean they are ready to move on and want to attract a new partner. On the other hand, it could mean they want to be more attractive to you so you will want them back. Be sure to combine this one with other signs an ex wants you back to get a the real meaning.
- Your ex is not seeing anyone new or trying to find a new relationship. If they have not moved on yet it could they still want to be in a relationship with you.
- Your ex is flirtatious when you hang out together. Unless they are just tormenting you, when your ex makes flirtatious gestures and comments it may mean they want to get back together.
- Your ex talks about your breakup with regret. They may mention things they should have done differently or talk about things they wish they had done better in the relationship.
- Your ex goes out of their way to help you.
If you have noticed some of these signs an ex wants you back there is still hope for your relationship. They may still be in love with you but are not sure how to rekindle the relationship. But do not go charging in at full speed, lay your heart out on the table and cross your fingers they will take you back with open arms. There were probably some reasons why the relationship broke up and you need to examine those to make sure they can be fixed.
Your ex may also be sending you mixed signals because they are confused themselves. Sometimes you need to have some time and space to get perspective before you try to get back with your ex.
