Whether you broke up with them, or they broke up with you, they're an ex.
And let's say you're still single and looking...
and you bump into him.
He's making those eyes that get you a little wobbly in the knees, he's saying all the right things...
and you're wondering -"Hey, it's lonely out here...
what if he really wants to get back together?" Maybe.
But before you make that jump, it's time to think it through.
Think a bit about what you've done since the breakup.
If you're smart, you grew a life, and lots of interesting hobby activities.
You played it cool, made time for your friends, and you reminded yourself that you can have fun without a man or woman.
Keep that in perspective.
Yeah, you're lonely -yeah, he's still cute...
but don't give up what you've got for the standards of being somebody's rebound.
So keep playing it cool, and make sure he's actually interested in you.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
This sounds a lot easier than it is.
If you see him or her interested in you, you're first reaction is probably to jump back in.
But don't go running back to their arms just because their throwing a little interest your way.
In all likelihood it was the fact that you went out and got your own life that got them interested in you again.
Make sure you set some boundary lines - think about what you want in your life, what he wants in his and make sure that both of you are getting what you need taken care of while leaving yourself room for identities outside of being a couple.
So the basic advice is take your time, be careful, and read what they're saying in body language and voice inflections - and don't give up your single life just because he wants to get back with you.
It's what made him come back in the first place.
