Wishful thinking can only carry you so far when you're hoping to get back together with an ex boyfriend. When we want something very badly we tend to let our imaginations get the best of us and we may misread signals or see things that simply aren't there. If you are intent on having a future with your ex there are some unmistakable signs he wants you back . If you notice any of these happening, there's a lot of reason to hope that he wants you back just as much as you want him.

One of the clear signs he wants you back is how often he contacts you. Normally when a relationship ends and the man has decided to move on with his life, he just won't contact his ex anymore. If your ex boyfriend regularly calls you to see how you are or he texts or emails you to keep in touch, that's a sign that he's still harboring strong feelings for you. If you've been the one initiating contact with him, stop it for a few weeks and see how often you hear from him. If it's more than a few times a week, he wants to stay close because he still cares for you.

During the course of your relationship it's very likely that your ex would come to you for advice. If he's still doing that it's one of the signs he wants you back. If he's turning to you to help him make some important decisions it shows that he still values your opinion. If you want him back listen carefully to the issue and offer whatever support and guidance you can. Show him, through your actions, that you still care for him too.

Jealousy tends to sneak into almost every relationship. If your ex continually asks about your life love that's one of the signs he wants you back. If he didn't feel emotionally connected to you anymore it wouldn't matter at all to him if you were dating someone else. If you'd like to get back together with him it's important not to date others. Once a man realizes that his ex is with another man he can lose interest very quickly and any chance of reconciliation will be lost.
