If your ex is flirting and acting like he or she wants to spend more time with you, it’s okay to be a little hopeful but don’t get too excited and chase them away. It’s time to ask yourself “does my ex want to get back with me”?

Though these definitely are signs your ex may be interested in getting you back, if you really want to get back with your ex, you should not simply jump into things. The best way to handle things is to step back and get away from the situation a bit, which is probably what your ex will respond to best anyway. If you charge forward full force, then you may find your ex pushing you back again. In fact, if you get indications that he or she wants you back, then chances are, you have already backed off and that led to the renewed interest in the first place.

In The Magic Of Making Up, you’ll often find when you break up, you miss one another, or long to get back together. This is especially true following a relationship of a year or more. You’re probably going to miss each other no matter what caused the breakup. You share a lot of memories after this length of time. But there will be other emotions that come into play including regrets. If you are wondering “does my ex want to get back with me,” chances are they’re thinking the same thing for the same reasons.

Unfortunately, sometimes that’s all it is. They and you simply miss each other and out of habit they reach out to you, without actually intending to get together again. So, unless your ex genuinely seems interested in spending time together, you may just be a convenient way for them to keep from being lonely. Or worst yet, they may see this as away to get revenge for some perceived wrong. This is why it is important not to jump the gun, and why you should focus on reading the situation before you act on it.

If you’re wondering “does my ex want to get back with me?”, but are not sure how to read the situation or how best to react, playing hard to get (in moderation) is your best choice at this point. It will prevent you from getting hurt if your ex is not really serious about getting back with you and will encourage them to move forward if they are serious.
