The prospect of dating your ex again can be very exciting, but keep in mind that there is a lot that needs to happen before you get to this point. First you must have accepted that your relationship is over and your ex must know that you understand. You’ll also need to be off your ex-boyfriend’s radar for a while, which will catch his attention right away. Once you’ve closed the door on the old relationship and had a good time without him, your ex will really wonder whether or not he should have broken up with you in the first place.
Before the date of the reunion there must be contact, and if you played your cards right it was probably your ex who contacted you. Hopefully, you kept your cool and didn’t show that you were too excited. While your goal is to get your ex boyfriend back, you have to recognize that you still haven’t got him back. Scheduling to meet him at a neutral location isn’t all that romantic, but it’s a necessary step on the road to getting back together with your ex.
A typical meetup date should be treated like any first date, which makes sense because you’re trying to build a whole new relationship. The romance they had together in the past was flawed or it wouldn’t have ended in the first place. They will need to focus on fresh starts and new beginnings if they want to succeed in giving themselves another chance. For this reason, stay away from anything heavy. Keep the conversation light and casual. If you missed your ex, you can tell them so, but also tell them the reasons why. And above all, listen! Let your ex talk and really try to listen to the things he says.
Dating an ex boyfriend etiquette consists of an extremely complicated set of rules. Here are two people who have tons of experience together on the most intimate levels, but the two of you are supposed to act like friends in this kind of situation. Flirting or wanting to be close is fine here, and it’s especially fine if your ex boyfriend is starting to get close. Just be careful how things go, because your ex might be thinking about getting a potential hookup. Don’t be blind to this possibility. Sleeping with your ex after such an emotional meeting is not that rare, but remember that you want a long-term relationship with him… not just temporary.
During the meeting date, do not mention the breakup. When you get back together with your ex, there will be plenty of time to talk about such things later. Also during your meeting, try to recognize the signs that your ex-boyfriend is ready to reconcile with you. His gestures, words and body language will tell you what his intentions are. The following guide contains a comprehensive list of these often subtle signs that your ex is ready to get back together.
