Is your ex girlfriend spending more time with you, calling just to chat, maybe even flirting and reminding you of great memories you shared? If this is the case you might be pleasantly surprised to know she wants you back. But before we run away with that thought, lets first make sure we have all the facts straight.
Over the years these have become some sure signs that your ex girlfriend might be thinking of getting back with you again. But even if this may so, you should never just throw yourself at her in a desperate attempt to seize the possibility. The best way will always be to play hard-to-get in the right amounts as this will only increase the attraction shefeels towards you. If you just jump into it you seriously risk pushing your ex girlfriend away further than ever before.
It's perfectly human to feel an emptiness like you lost something after you have broken up with your ex. Your ex will most likely feel the exact same way because you have been torn from her lives as well. This holds especially true if the relationship was around one year or longer. Just by the simple fact of all the memories you share, your ex will not be able to help but also miss you.
I have to put a warning here. Sometimes an ex girlfriend might fake all these signs of interest and use it as her own personal little game. Some people just like the thrill of getting attention and knowing that you still love them. So unless you have determined that she is genuine about her feelings towards you, it might just be her way of keeping busy until the next guy crosses her path. That is why I say you should be careful not to jump the gun, but rather first make sure about the situation and then act on it.
After years of helping guys it's unfortunate to say that this happens a lot. Therefore you are the only one who really has a feel for the situation and will be able to tell what's really going on. That is why I recommend playing hard-to-get now. If your ex girlfriend just played games with your heart and wasn't serious about getting back together, you have protected yourself by not committing to anything. The other side of the coin is of course that she wants you back as her boyfriend. You will have increased her attraction towards you and soon she should start giving you some hard to miss signals that she want to be back in your arms again.
