Love is a tricky thing, ain't it... particularly if you or your partner are trying to maintain a healthy and lasting relationship. Of course, since all of us are living in these crazy times-just ask the Mayans-there are just some instances when you and your partner may hit a rough patch and immediately call off the relationship. Case closed, right? Well... no.

Admit it; there are times when you're still hung over your ex. But fret not-more often than not, your ex may feel the same way, too. However, people being people, neither parties are willing to make the "first move" (Thus, the title of this piece. See what I did there?). There is, on the other hand, a way to how you can find out if your ex still wants to hook back up with you. It's not that hard to find out; all you need is to be aware of a few signs that are "carelessly" shown away by your ex. Want specifics, eh? Then scroll down below to find out!

Secret Sign Number 1: "Keeping in touch"

With the prevalence of long-distance communications through mobiles and the Web, it is just impossible not to maintain contact with anyone... your ex, included. However, there are some careful throwaway signs that you should look out for. For instance, it may not seem odd at first that you ex is frequently calling or chatting with you in the middle of the day. But what if he suddenly calls you at 2 in the morning with no other reason other than for "someone to talk to"? The dealbreaker? That ex of yours wanting suddenly to meet up in person... with only the two of you alone. Well, that "meeting" may turn out to be other things at first, but the fact that that ex of yours really went out of the way to see you in person may mean that-physically speaking- he is still not over you. In other words, your ex is open to dating with you again.

Secret Sign Number 2: "Mood Swings"

One of the things to consider if your ex still wants you bad is if he displays these frequently erratic mood changes while talking with you. For example, does your ex unnaturally go overboard in showing that you that he had a great time with you? How about those talks where he frequently speaks out about "missing" those things that you usually do together when you were exclusively in a relationship? Well, it's all fine and dandy if you think about that, but there's a flipside to it: there are times when your ex suddenly becomes aloof and detached. Why should you keep up with this infuriating behaviour? Simple: your ex doesn't know what to think of you yet. He may want you back in a heartbeat, but at the same time, your ex has recurring memories of why you two broke up in the first place. It may sound like you're dealing with a toddler, but that's completely normal behaviour in this case.

Secret Sign Number 3: "Thinking of The Future"

Ah, yes... to paraphrase from Bad Boys, the ---- just got real. At this point, you can expect that all the "subtlety" you may have experienced from your initial re-acquaintance with your ex goes flying right out of the window. Other than the fact that your ex may frequently look at your past relationship with some amazingly Technicolored rose-tinted glasses, he is now hinting at wanting to spend more time with you-be it on an "exclusively dating" basis, or even picking up where you left off with your past relationship. Be forewarned, though. It's true what psychologists tell us about nostalgia-it only makes us remember the "good things" in life without taking into account of how we lived that life in the past. If both of you are considering hooking up together, you both need to seriously go back and re-examine what went wrong in the first place. Is it related to the bad habits of your former partner? How about a quirky trait that you find "cute" at first but just annoyed the hell out of you as you went along in your past relationship? Whether it may be a serious issue or even a little thing, you both need to talk it out first. Of course, you also have to remember that apologies have to be made in order.

If all of the above sounds like hard work... well, yes, you're right about that. That's why we've coined the term "making a relationship work".

Wondering If Your Ex Wants to Get Back With You

Within a couple of months after a relationship breakup, a question similar to this often pops up in your head, "Does my ex want me back? This question will pop up more often if your ex begins to make contacts with you again and seems interested in spending more time with you. If he goes out with you and starts flirting with you again, then the question "Does my ex want me back?" becomes more serious than ever.

Evidently there is some hope here. These gestures signify that he may be interested in getting back together with you. But this is just a possibility not a forgone conclusion. Be careful or you could get hurt. It is better to be playing a little bit hard to get (not too much, please). Don't be too direct. Don't press too hard. Don't immediately try to get back together with him in full force. Moderation is best. Actually, if your ex is showing a subtle indication that he wants to get back together with you, it is probably your playing hard to get that led to the revival of an interest in you in the first place.

It is natural to be longing for your lost love especially when your relationship lasted more than a year. When you are wondering if your ex wants you back, chances are your ex is thinking the same thought for the same reasons. There are so many shared memories, moments of joy and past regrets.

You think your ex is displaying his desire to return to you. You think you have undoubtedly detected his intention. But love is a game two people play. Don't jump to that conclusion too easily. Maybe he wants to spend more time with you just because he has no other prospects on the horizon at the moment. When he meets someone more interesting, he will be more than ready to leave you again. Analyze the situation carefully before deciding that you two are ready to be reunited.

It is natural for a person who just broke up with a boyfriend or girlfriend to be wondering: "Does my ex want me back?" But it is a lot better to proceed cautiously before making a serious move. In fact, if your ex really wants to get back together with you, play a little bit hard to get (too much of it may be harmful) in order to avoid getting hurt.
