Written by Kay Iqbal
Figuring out how to tell if your ex is still interested in you can be a very confusing thing especially after a recent breakup. You most likely will be going through mixed emotions so it may be difficult to read all the signs.
If your ex is showing you a bit more interest or wants to spend more time with you than normal, or is even trying flirt with you then it's okay to assume your ex wants to get back with you but its important to realise you need to avoid jumping the gun.
The signs may be definitely there but its best to take things slowly if you really do want to get back with your ex, and not just dive in full in. The best thing to do is to play hard to get (but within limits) as you run the risk of pushing them away again. In fact keeping the distance and playing hard to get may explain the renewed effort on your ex's part to get back together.
Normally during a breakup of a long term relationship there is a void left which causes a natural level of missing each other and yearning to get back together. Whether each party admits it or not, you do miss each other due to the level of time within the relationship and the memories shared. The problem is other emotions such as past regrets also come to light. This leaves you wondering if your ex really wants to get back with you and chances are the other person is thinking the same thing.
In some cases you'll find the ex shows interest in you again but later you find it was all a game and they were simply leading you on. There can be numerous reasons for this such as your ex simply craving the attention again but not really wanting to get back with you, they may be just passing the time as there are no other prospects available or worst still they could be using you to get some sort of misguided revenge. This is why it is very important to be cautious and read the situation before you act.
You will find this is a very common thing and lot of people are in the same boat wondering whether your ex really wants to get back with you or not. The best way to tackle this is to proceed with caution and don't give in to all the sudden attention you may be getting however much you crave it, it's best to see how serious your ex really is first in getting back with you before you commit to getting back into the relationship. This will prevent you from all the pain, anguish and hurt if you find out that you are being lead on or being used.
