The question of whether your ex wants to get back together is a difficult one, though there are ways of taking the guesswork out of the situation.
How Is Your Ex Behaving?
Are they showering you with more attention than they did when you were both together? Are they flirting with you, given any opportunity? These could be signs that your ex wants to get back together, but don’t get carried away by this idea just yet.
It could be the case that your ex is just looking for attention, to deal with a need for validation or gap they have in their lives. Perhaps this could be a reaction to the sudden loneliness, rather than a desire to get back together. You should proceed with caution, if you want to avoid pain while nursing a broken heart.
What we need to do is to find out the sincerity of the attention they are giving you, to make sure it’s a positive sign, rather than purely self serving.
How Do I Know If My Ex Wants Me Back?
Spend meaningful time with them first- this will be a good way of working out the situation. If they are just looking for attention they’ll probably want to do this quickly to boost their feelings. If they just want attention they probably won’t want to commit the time required to get anything more meaningful.
Memories of a relationship are powerful, particularly if you were both together for a long time. Sometimes the nostalgia for the past will be incredibly strong. For this reason, it’s best to make sure that you are both certain of where you stand.
Remember that “Do I want my ex back?” is as important as “Does my ex want me back?”
A desire for you and your ex to get back together should not be fleeting. Remember, a good relationship will only happen if it’ll make you both happy. Make sure it’s not just loneliness or nostalgia by spending time together. Don’t rush things.
What Do I Do Now?
Throughout the process, you’ll need to give them time to think about you, and the way you make them feel. Give them the space to miss you, so that they have a reasonable chance of getting to this point.
Allowing your ex to collect their thoughts will help them overcome the break up pain, reducing the chances that they’ll push away from you out of instinct alone.
Playing hard to get is a game that you should play cautiously. What if you both decided to play hard to get, with the same amount of enthusiasm? You could both want to get back together, with mutual stubbornness getting in the way!
When I wanted to get back together with my ex I learned how important it was to get a feel for the situation before diving in. Remember that people will pull away if things get too complicated or rushed. Spend meaningful time together, but make sure you both have plenty of thinking space in between. That’s what rebuilds meaningful, happy relationships.
