Your Ex Boyfriend Called You Up - Does He Still Love You?

So it's a few weeks after the break up, and suddenly your ex boyfriend calls you from out of the clear blue sky.  Is he just being friendly?  Saying hello?  Or is he having second thoughts about the break up?

Breakups are tough, especially if you were on the receiving end.  Maybe you walked away cleanly, or maybe you made some attempt at getting your ex back.  Either way, here he is... calling you when you least expected it.  If you've been caught completely by surprise - and have no idea what your ex might be feeling - then this article is for you.

First of all, your ex called you for a specific reason.  He's not dialing you up just to say hello, ask your opinion on something, or because he wants his Blink-182 CD's back.  No, your ex has a definite agenda when he calls - even if he happens to drunk dial you.  And that agenda is you.

Whenever a guy is done with a girl, he'll break all contact.  He's not going to call or text you hello, or ask to remain friends.  When your ex does that, it's because he doesn't want to close the door on your relationship... at least not completely.  He's putting his foot back in that door just in case he wants to open it again.

Does your ex still love you?  In all likelihood, yes.  Even if you dated for only a short while, chances are that you both developed powerful emotional bonds toward each other.  And if you dated even longer?  Those bonds are strengthened by a long history of good memories and great experiences.

Maybe enough time has passed that your exboyfriend is starting to remember those times.  He's reminiscing about all the good things you had between you.  It's a fact: bad memories of fighting and arguing tend to fade fairly quickly after a break up.  The recollections of the best times you had however?  Those linger on for a long, long while.

Now just because your ex boyfriend called you up doesn't necessarily mean he wants you back.  There's a chance he's considering you romantically again, but you'll still need to be proactive if you want him in your life again.  Having a step-by-step plan will always help you succeed in getting back together, so you'll need to know what to do (and when to do it).  Your ex boyfriend's intentions are only the beginning of a long path down the road to reconciliation.
