How do i know if my ex wants me back?

if he/she starts to get in touch again but so obviously,keep on reminding you of the things you used to have in common,the places you used to hangout at and things you liked to do together.

She/He contacts you often either by texting or via phone.They keep reminding you subconsciously of the good times you went through together.

It's hard to read the minds of others but a clear sign will be if you receive any contact from that person after you have broken up. However, the words they use and especially the tone of the message will be important; if they want to reconnect with you on a romantic level they will enquire after you, be very interested in what you have been doing etc. If they want to get back together with you it's likely they will continue to contact you in the days after your break up, they may also use social media as a way of keeping the link between the two of you. If you don't hear from your ex in the days and weeks after your break up, it may be that they need some time to gather themselves and take stock of everything, specially if the break up was bad.

If they are talking to you still like you are dating eachother but be careful for a second chance with and ex is more of a relaps and what happened last time that caused the break up is bound to happen again

Sometimes an ex may be obvious that they want to get back into a relationship with you. They may call and text you multiple times a day, and they may tell you that they miss you, love you, etc. And sometimes it's not so clear. Sometimes they may ask to hang out with you, or text you here and there out of the blue, leaving you confused. Whatever the case may be, you need to evaluate for yourself whether this is a person that is good for you, and will be someone that will help you be in a healthy relationship, rather than a toxic one.

Flirting is a good example of an ex wanting you back. Always texting or calling. Asking if you want to hang out, etc.

A person who is interested in you will make an effort to show that. If your ex is telling you that they want to try having a relationship with you again, or if they tell you that they want to work things out, this is a positive sign that your ex may want you back.

If your ex wants you back, they would make that clear to you. Embrace your feelings, but also realise that if they do not want you back then they have lost someone that loved them, and all you have lost is someone who isn't worthy of your company.

Observe closely the way he reacts when he's around you,whether he stares at you or not, etc. If he texts you and the things he says, and also if he's mentioned something to a friend.

There is really know way to know for sure other than asking him directly if he/she wants you back. I know that it's going to be strange and/or even awkward to ask them, but how else are you going to know? You can't read their minds. Good Luck ! :)
