Share this article with your friends!

When you want to try and win back your ex after a breakup, it could be pretty difficult knowing how and when to make the move towards winning him or her back.

As a starter, it is necessary to step back and honestly go over what the causes of the breakup were. Were the issues that lead to breaking up serious issues or those little foxes that gradually spoilt the beautiful vine that was once your relationship? Once this is done and the issue at the heart of the breakup are reconcilable ones, then you can start looking for signs that your ex wants you back.

For whatever reason your ex broke up with you(except where it was abusive) you might feel the need to want to get him or her back if you are still emotionally attached to him/her and feel pretty sure that both of you belong together.

In most cases your ex might still have feelings for you but that does not go to say that they want you back in their lives. It is therefore important that you know a few of the positive signs that may give you the “green light” to make moves towards winning your ex back.

Always Keeping In Contact

If your ex keeps in constant communication with you out of no obligation but just to chit-chat with you after the breakup, this could signal the possibility of a makeup. It is also a good sign when either of you call and your ex find it difficult to be the one to bring the conversation to a close as they just want to stay on the line.

Keeping in constant contact is a way of playing safe most of the time when an ex may still be contemplating if the relationship is actually over for them. The frequent emails, text messages, phone calls or personal conversation are definite green lights that there is hope to reunite with your ex.

Always Asking After How You Are Doing


  • When your ex calls or you meet by chance and they always ask about how you are doing generally and even goes as far as asking about details of certain things he/she knows you were doing or trying to do before the breakup, then you are sure they are not completely over you yet. If your ex was truly done with you, then such things would not really bother them much; talk less of asking you about them.

    Visits or Meets Up With You

    If your ex comes to see you either at work or at home, then you are sure the signs are all green that they might be missing you. It might be an innocent or casually arranged meeting, but the fact is that they are trying to tell you that the relationship is not exactly over yet. When this happens, you should avoid being pushy but instead you should take things easy and as casual as possible. Your conversation should not veer close to anything serious. Keep it light and fun.

    Becomes Emotional and Affectionate Again

    When sparks of emotions and affection start radiating from your ex, they are indicating interest of getting back into a relationship with you even if on a friendly level. They may show signs of nervousness; appear flustered and are always in no particular hurry to leave whenever you are together. They may also start touching and feeling you like they did before the breakup.

    Also, your ex may start paying you sincere compliments, flirt with you excessively, call you your nicknames and become fund of smiling at you whenever you happen to look their way. Also try and read the body languages being sent off as they may be the keys you need to make the killer move.

    Acts Jealous and Tries to Make You Jealous

    If your ex reacts in a somewhat jealous way when you talk of the opposite sex or they purposely talk about the opposite sex in such a way as to make you feel jealous, then you are sure they are still in interested in you.


  • If you ex start inquiring about how much you are seeing other people and questioning who certain people in your life are, he or she is still definitely interested in you. Taking the trouble to want to try to get a reaction from you or reacting in a certain way over certain personally topics are clear indications of lingering interest in you and a hope for you to get your ex back. If there was no interest, most of your ex’s reactions will be with a certain degree of indifference.

    Makes Self-Improvement Efforts

    This may be physical personal improvement or any other form of self-improvement. If they are over certain issues that bother on the breakup, know for sure that they are trying to impress you. They may start dressing in particular ways that always caught your fancy in the past and another sure sign is when they try changing old habits that irritated you before.

    They may also start cultivating interests that they know are of particular interest to you. Do they ask for your opinion on important decisions like taking a new job and are virtually asking your view on almost anything? Then you are on track.

    Inquires about you from others

    Your ex still cares about you and may want to give the relationship a second chance if your best friends tell you that your ex frequently asks about you, and often want to know how you are and if you have started seeing someone else. In inclination towards wanting to get back with you is when they have made it clear mostly through their friends that they are not interested in any new relationships for the time being.

    All these are positive tell-tale signs that give you the “green light” that your ex wants you back.
