4 Signs That Your Ex Wants You Back

If your girlfriend dumped you, the responsibility of getting her to date you again will rest mostly on your shoulders. The main reason for this? She's the one who ended the relationship, and because of this she'll feel awkward being the one who puts it back together again.

As you try to get your ex back, you'll need to notice the signs that it's working. Your ex will throw off many signals that are actually indications for you to keep moving forward. Some of them she'll be conscious of. Some she won't. But knowing when you've got a green light, and when you've got a red one, can be the difference between winning back your girlfriend and losing her completely.

The first thing to do is step back and examine the situation honestly. Put aside your wishful thinking, and take a hard look at how she's acting toward you. Once you've done that, read on. The following signs are promising indications that your ex girlfriend is thinking of giving your relationship a second chance:

She's Always In Contact - No break up is permanent, at least until the time comes when one person decides to move on. An ex-girlfriend who keeps in constant contact with you - especially one who never lost communication in the first place - hasn't fully let go of your relationship. She might be hanging around and acting like you're "just friends", but the fact of the matter is she's still on the fence as to whether or not the relationship is totally over. Keeping you within arm's length is a safe, comfortable thing for her. If she's calling, talking to, or emailing you, it's a very good sign she hasn't completely written off dating you again - at least some time in the future.

She Always Asks What You're Doing - Any girl who breaks up with you but still wants to know what you're up to is trying to keep you in a holding pattern. No matter what she says or does, she doesn't want you finding anyone new. She sure as hell doesn't want you dating, or maybe she doesn't want you to date another girlfriend before she ends up finding someone of her own. Always asking about your life, love-life, or social situation is a big sign of insecurity... and also a sign that she's not prepared for the end of your relationship. If your ex was truly finished with you it wouldn't much matter where you went or who you were spending your time with.

She Stops By or Meets Up With You - Keeping the lines of communication open is a sign of wanting you around, but an ex girlfriend who physically comes to see you is missing you big time. She might come by very innocently or arrange a casual meeting, but what your ex is doing is actually meeting her own needs. All the small talk in the world doesn't hide the fact that she's still thinking about you - and not only that, she's missing you to the point of needing to be around you. When this happens, roll with it. Keep things casual and always light. No heavy conversations, and don't go into the subject of the break up. Make it fun and safe for her to be around you and your ex will want to keep coming back. And while she's there, keep an eye on her words, mannerisms, and body language. If you see any signs of those old sparks, your ex could be throwing them off for your benefit.

She's Suddenly Affectionate or Emotional Again - In the final stages of your break up, these are the behaviors to look for. When your ex starts being affectionate again - even playfully - she's letting you know she's ready to get back into a relationship with you... at least on some level destined for more than friendship. Take things at her own pace, and be careful not to be drawn in too quickly. Something in her life has probably changed, or maybe you just did a good job of getting your ex to miss you. Whatever the case, don't fight her on it. If she flirts, flirt back. If she starts talking about the past, reminisce with her. Again, keep things comfortable and happy. It won't be long before she's back in your arms again.

These are just some of the many signals given off when your ex girlfriend wants you back. For the complete 8-Step guide to making her want you again, be sure to check out How To Get Back An Ex Girlfriend.
