\n

Have you recently become single<\/a> but have a sneaking suspicion your ex wants you back? It may just be women’s intuition, or maybe something even a little more obvious than that. There are plenty of signs that can tip a girl off that your ex<\/a> wants you back, and if you think you would like to give the relationship another try, too, look for these signs.<\/p>\n

Does he ask you if you are dating anyone else? If he knows you are, does he ask if you are still together, or other probing questions? This is a sure sign your ex wants you back \u201c if he didn’t, why would he care?<\/p>\n

Do you accidentally\u009d run into him more than usual.<\/strong> Does he seem to be everywhere you go? This is probably because he is hoping to have opportunities to talk to you, to show off his new look, or just to cast looks of longing. Another fairly good sign your ex wants you back.<\/p>\n

Do his friends contact you, or seem overly friendly or interested when you bump into them?<\/strong> This is probably because he can’t stop talking about how much he wants you back, and his friends would like to see that happen so they don’t have to listen to him anymore.<\/p>\n

Do your friends keep running into him and say he asks a lot of questions about you? <\/strong>This is because he wants to know if you are seeing someone else, how serious it is, if he has a chance to win you back, etc. A sure sign your ex wants you back.<\/p>\n

When you see him or talk to him on the phone, does he prolong the conversation?<\/strong> This is because he wants you back and he’ll do anything to stay in touch. Whether he thinks this is because talking to you gives him a shot at that, or he just wants to prolong the contact, either one is a sure sign your ex wants you back.<\/p>\n

Does he still check in?<\/strong> Just to see how things are going. This is a subtle sign that he is checking to see if you are seeing someone else, or that you will still take his call, or just an exploration of what you are feeling and doing.<\/p>\n

When you see him, does he still try to hold your hand, put his arm around you, or otherwise touch you?<\/strong> This is an obvious sign that your ex wants you back.<\/p>\n

Does he seem to be on a course of self improvement<\/strong> \u201c losing weight, working out, even getting a better job, looking really great whenever you see him? He is doing the equivalent of what is known as preening\u009d in the animal world \u201c a male trying to win a female by looking his best, no matter if this is a better job, a better body, or even a better car!<\/p>\n

Does he still want to see you?<\/strong> Lunch just as friends, or a cup of coffee? This is a sure sign your ex wants you back \u201c if he had moved on and was already looking for or seeing someone new, he wouldn’t spend time meeting you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
