Does my ex want to get back with me?  How can I tell?

Is your ex showing you some interest, maybe flirting or wanting to spend time together?   These are definitely signs that your ex has an interest in getting back with you, and it’s okay to be hopeful, but what you don’t want to do is “jump the gun”.

The best way to handle this situation is to play hard to get, in moderation.  You really want to be able to get a feel for what you ex’s true intentions are.  You want to know for sure that your ex really wants to get back with you and isn’t just playing on your emotions as revenge for some perceived wrong.  If you simply jump into things full force, you may find your ex pushing you back again.

Generally, when a breakup occurs, there is an instinctive level of “missing” one another or “longing” to be back together, especially if the relationship was a year old or longer.  Many good memories can be shared in that amount of time, as well as past regrets and hurts.  So if you’re wondering “does my ex want to get back with me,” chances are he/she is asking the same thing and for the same reasons.

However, sometimes there is that unscrupulous ex who begins showing interest just to play games with your head. They may see that you still want or love them, and they may simply just want to get the attention without the commitment. So, unless your ex really seems genuinely interested in spending time with you, they may just be passing the time because they have no other prospects on the horizon or, worst yet, they are just being cruel and using your temporary state of mind as a way to exact hurt for hurt. Hence, the reasoning for not “jumping the gun” and instead feeling out the situation before acting.

So, in short, if you are wondering “does my ex want to get back with me” just play it cool and a little hard-to-get so you can more viably assess the situation and determine whether it’s worth the risk.
