Is that a gleam of renewed interest that you see in your ex's eyes whenever he or she looks at you? Does it seem like your ex is finding all the possible excuses he or she can come up with so that the two of you can hang out together more often? Does it look like your ex is coming on to you? If your ex has begun to behave this way around you, and perhaps more, chances are that you are feeling some excitement and some new hope that your ex may be trying to get back together with you.
There is nothing wrong with hoping that the two of you indeed would, especially if you still have some feelings for your ex.
Also, such actions are valid signs that he or she may want you back.
But no matter how much you want to renew your romantic relationship with your ex, you should hold yourself back until you are sure that reconciliation is something that your ex really wants.
Instead of throwing yourself into his or her arms again, you should try your hand at being coy and hesitant about beginning a new relationship with your ex until you are absolutely sure that getting back together is something that he or she is thinking about too.
Why should you hold back until you are sure? Holding back and playing hard to get is your protection from being hurt again.
If you are wrong in assuming that your ex wants you back, your ex will only turn away from you again.
Moreover, you will be left with an immense heartache that may be more painful than the one you experienced during your initial breakup and undo all your efforts to put your life back together again.
Besides, there could be other reasons why your ex has begun to act that way around you.
It could be that you have been making yourself unavailable to him or her, and your ex is simply responding to the challenge of being able to conquer your heart again.
It could also be that your ex misses you and is hankering to get back to those happy times that the two of you had when you were still together.
People who have been in a relationship for a year or more tend to feel that way because of the many happy memories that they have had in that time.
Breaking up a relationship that lasted that long always comes with a feeling of regret and the inclination of wanting to correct past mistakes.
Your ex wanting to spend more time with you and flirting with you can also be signs of wanting more attention from you.
He or she does not really want to resume where the two of you left off, but is just perhaps not used to seeing your attempts at creating a new you and starting a new life for yourself.
Most importantly, it could be that your ex is just twisting your chain around in some bizarre way of getting back at you.
Maybe your ex thinks that you hurt him or her in some way and is trying to extract some payback from you for it.
So, if ever the question "Does my ex want to get into a relationship with me again?" pops into your mind, think again and do not be too quick to jump into conclusions.
Just step back and watch for a bit to see if that is what your ex really wants from you.
