Guys hit a wave of emotions when they see their ex happy. The reason why they want to pursue a second chance with you is for several reasons. Here are the signs to look out for. Take note of how the guy is feeling.
- You Look Better
The main reason why a guy wants to get back together with their ex is that they look better than they ever did. As mentioned above, most guys end a relationship in the belief that their ex is no longer attractive. All the compliments a guy gives you about your new look is overwhelming. Don’t fall for it.
- Thought You Would Have a Similiar Downfall
The guy never realized that you would have a more positive outcome than he did. For example, you are doing well for yourself, making more money than you did while in the relationship. Once they ask to see if a relationship can work out again, be aware that the breakup was not because they were in a bad place.
It a selfish act so they can be happy by your side. Because jealousy is a raging emotion that can make a guy feel several feelings, he doesn’t want to feel like the loser.
- Wants to Control You Again
Since the break-up, that gives the ex more freedom. A guy who sees that their ex is happier without them no longer feels like a leader. It’s an unsettling thought when it comes to thinking about guys who get off on controlling women.
The reason why he wants to get back together is that he realized that he doesn’t have a hold on you.
- He Doesn’t Want to Start Over
And it’s too late for that. Dating is exhausting. Men can agree with that. Sadly, most guys have a “grass is greener” mentality until… one fateful breakup that is. Then the guy resorts to getting the girl back. They realized how much work it is to put into getting another girlfriend.
- Misses the Relationship
Being in a relationship does have perks, whether guys want to admit to it or not. If the guy has been single for a minute, then he may want to try to win over the hearts of other exes in hopes to be in another relationship. Knowing which girl treats him well is what they do in their research.
- Change is Real
It is rare if a guy wants to change. There is such a thing as change. Guys feel like they should make a change when they do see their ex looking good. This reason why he came back is that he can change if he really wants to. It’s up to the ex on whether they believe them or not.
- Regretting the Way He Treated You
Some guys don’t conjecture how terribly they were to their ex until she leaves him. When this happens, they are regretful. Though, going back to someone doesn’t end well most of the time. After all, there’s no telling that he won’t fall into his old ways and take you for granted.
- In Need of an Ego Boost
Don’t be fooled, but fragile male egos are a thing. When guys are in a vulnerable spot, they’ll hit up a girl just to know they’re still attractive. Don’t fall for this. You should not forgive your ex if you see them doing this, especially for attention’s sake.
Know this. It is not your job to protect their feelings. They’re the ones who hurt you. Move on. He is not worth your time.
- The Ex Became the Challenge
Was the ex always underfoot during the relationship? If he discerns that you no longer want him, he may start tracking you because he notices you like a challenge now. Some guys never learn, therefore, giving a challenge all for the sake of their ego.
- Backup Plan Was The Ex
This reason is most familiar with cheaters as well as guys. The most common reason guys dump their ex is because he was going through something or didn’t realize what he had. Or it could be that they really missed you.
