What Does It Mean When Your Ex Calls You?

You break up... you go your separate ways... and then suddenly your phone rings.  Your ex's old familiar number appears, and your heart skips a beat.  What does it mean?  Exactly why is your ex calling you?

Well if you've been intentionally trying to get your ex boyfriend or girlfriend back, this type of phone call is always good news.  It means your ex has been thinking about you enough to dial your number, so whatever you've done to put yourself back in their head again has been working.  Some people don't always know how to grab the attention of an exgirlfriend or exboyfriend after the end of a romance, especially if they were the ones who got dumped.  But when your ex is finally calling you up, you might not even know exactly what it is you did to make them think of you again.

So what does it mean when your ex calls you?  Does he or she want you back?  Or are they just calling to say hello, and see how you're doing?  There are several ways to identify Signs Your Ex Wants You Back.

There's No Such Thing as a "Friendly" Phone Call From Your Ex

Contrary to popular believe, your ex's don't just stay in touch with you.  If you think some sort of casual relationship can exist between you and someone you've dated or slept with, think again.  All sorts of complications arise from being "friends with your ex", and even two people with the best intentions won't be able to carry on such an arrangement for very long.  If you and your ex are trying to be friends, that means you should probably be dating.  One of you definitely still loves the other, and the person who's loved still has enough emotional attachment that they don't want to walk away.

So... if your ex isn't calling just to say hi, what do they want?  Are they trying to patch up your relationship, or do they have some other agenda in mind?


Why Your Ex Calls You After The Break Up

Most of the time when an exboyfriend or girlfriend gets in touch with you, they're feeling you out.  They'll be trying to gauge your reaction when you talk to them, and they want to know your situation.  Although they might not outright ask about your dating status, this is probably the main reason why they called.

It's also possible that something has changed in your ex's life that put you back into their head.  Maybe they were dating someone and it didn't work out.  Or maybe they were thinking about some good memories you had together and suddenly felt the need to call you up.  Either way, you're on your ex's mind in a positive way.  If you want to get back together with your ex boyfriend or girlfriend, you can take advantage of this attention and work on arranging a face-to-face meeting.
