To put it frankly, breakups suck. They leave us feeling sad, hopeless,
and frustrated. But as awful as they may be, some breakups don't last
forever.
If you're getting mixed signals from them—"Why is he constantly
blowing up my phone?"—see if any of these six signs fit your
situation. They may want a second chance.
1. Your ex contacts you for lame reasons. People who break up—and want
that breakup to remain intact—usually don't contact their exes (unless
they need their security deposit back). But when an ex does contact
you, it's likely they are attempting to reopen the lines of
communication. This is particularly true if the reasons they are
contacting you are particularly random and pointless, like asking for
your mom's cherry pie recipe.
2. Your ex asks about you. Asking about you repeatedly hints that
there are still feelings there. Thus, if your ex goes out of their way
to see how you are—hitting up your friends, relatives, or even
you—they might regret calling it quits.
3. Your ex runs into you. Exes are going to run into each other,
especially if they live in the same neighborhood or share the same
social circle. But if you run into them everywhere—the grocery store,
bikram yoga, or right by your office—they may be going out of their
way just to bump into you "accidentally."
4. Your ex behaves like they did when you first met. Most
relationships have a honeymoon phase—the beginning when everything
feels so romantic and you go out of your way to do nice things for
each other. Reverting back to this behavior may be a sign he's still
not over you.
5. Your ex makes a point to change. There is a reason your
relationship ended—whether it was mutual or someone's "fault" (like
cheating). You may notice that they begin improving their flaws to fix
whatever broke you two up. This totally depends on the relationship,
but people rarely change for themselves. Usually they do it for
someone special.
6. Your ex tells you. Then there's the direct approach: If your ex
wants you back, they will tell you.
