[W30]Want To Get Back With Ex

by Susan Willis, Sus

A tough breakup can be hard to get over—both for your mind and your heart. Vivid, warm, romantic memories of a past love can last for a long time after relationship has ended. Even though your relationship is now over, you may still be thinking of that special man and wishing sometimes that you could get back together.

But, before risking your heart and soul again in what is already a complicated situation, it would be helpful to get an inside track on his true feelings about you.

Here are 7 signs that he may want to get back together with you:

Sign #1: He calls or texts you frequently: If your ex is totally over your relationship, he should not be calling or texting you. If he is calling or texting, he still has feelings for you, regardless of the content of those messages. Remember, the point in contacting you is not to relay to you what he had for lunch or talk about the weather: it is to reaffirm his bond with you.

Sign #2: He has trouble talking normally to you: When you do have the chance to talk with your ex, you may find that he is unusually quiet or that he seems to stumble on his words. You may also notice that he has trouble looking you in the eye. If you are finding that your ex displays unusual behaviors when talking with you, this could be a sign that he another sign that he still harbors feelings.

Sign #3: He has had trouble getting into a new relationship: If you have heard through the grapevine that your ex has been single or has just been dating casually since you were last together, it could be a sign that he is having trouble committing to another woman. It may be the case that he has just not found the right person - or it could be that he is having trouble letting go of his love.

Sign #4: You find he is frequenting your old hangouts: If you learn that your ex is frequently visiting all of your old hangouts—like bars, restaurants, and clubs—he may be hoping to run into you there. Or, he could just be missing you and going there because the place reminds him of you. For most people, special places are indelibly associated in their minds with special loves.

Sign #5: He tries to make you laugh when you talk: When you do find yourself talking with your past love, do you find that he is trying to impress you by making you laugh or trying to come across as accomplished or smart? This may be the best way he knows to get you interested in a relationship with him again, short of actually having the guts to ask you to get back together.

Sign #6: You catch him looking or staring at you when you are looking away: If you work with your ex or spend any time around him, you may catch him staring your way when you happen to turn your head toward him. If you do, pay close attention to the look in his eyes—that is, before he changes his expression once he knows you are looking back at him. Do his eyes betray a deeper secret that he still holds a flame for you?

Sign #7: He frequently tries to reaffirm your continuing friendship: Some men who feel insecure or are too timid to let you know that they still feel for you may try everything they can to stay in your life, even if it means just remaining friends. If your ex is constantly trying to remind you of your friendship or saying that he hopes you never drift apart, there is a very good chance he still has feelings for you.

Unfortunately, mind reading is not an inborn trait for 99% of us. However, using common sense and paying attention to his behaviors—either those that you see or that you learn of from reliable sources—can yield significant insights into whether he is considering reuniting with you.

In the situation above, it is usually not difficult to salvage the relationship as long as both parties still love each other very deeply. All it takes may be some time for both parties to cool down, start missing each other followed by an apology.

However, there are situations that are so bad that the chance of reconciliation seems extremely slim. One common example is infidelity like a one night stand or an affair that has been going on for quite some time.

In these more extreme examples, the chances of reconciliation may seem slim but if you look at what happens in real life, you can be extremely surprised. Many of them do patch up.

This shows that getting back together with your ex is still possible even if you think the chances are slim. However, it still takes two hands to clap. Therefore, if one party has already made a firm decision to end the relationship, then it may also be time to let go.

However, if you believed in your heart that getting back with your ex will give both of you happiness, then there are certain things that you should do and certain things that you must not do in order to increase your chance or success.

Let briefly go through some of the things that you should not do. These are mistakes that are made by many people that only serve to drive their partner further away.

1)Don't contact him/her non stop even if he/she did not answer you. It is not wise to do that for 2 reasons. First, you are indirectly giving up your power to your partner. This makes it harder for you to negotiate with him/her later.

Second, you are showing that you are desperate or needy and this will only make you more undesirable. It also makes you look like a child. There are certain psychological reasons behind this but it is beyond the scope of this article to discuss it.

2)Don't ask his/her friends about why he/she wants to break up with you. Even though it may be tempting to do so, it will not help your situation very much. Perhaps he/she did not intend to tell his/her friends in the first place. How do you think he/she will react if he/she knows about it?

3)Don't argue about the reasons for initiating the break up, even if you think that is an unacceptable reason. This will cause even more argument. Just be calm and cool about it. Only talk when both of you have calmed down after a period of time.
