Trying to second guess what someone else is going to do is never an easy thing.
It's especially hard after a break up when you are trying to determine whether or not your boyfriend will come back to you.
If you're still in love with him, you may misinterpret some of his actions because you hope so desperately that he'll want you back.
There are some clear signs in his behavior that do suggest that he also is having trouble letting go of his love for you and wants you back as much as you want him back.
One simple way to tell if your boyfriend will come back is how much time he wants to spend with you since the break up.
This doesn't necessarily just include in person time, but also think about how often he wants to talk to you on the phone, or how often he is sending you text messages or emails.
Keeping a steady schedule of contact is unusual after a break up and suggests that the person initiating the contact is still feeling something for their former partner.
Take note of how much he wants to talk or be with you.
If it's a lot, it may mean that he's still in love with you.
Does your ex ask about your social life? Is he interested in whether or not you're currently dating anyone? If he is, that's a really good sign that your boyfriend will come back to you.
If he wanted you to move on after the break up, chances are good that he wouldn't ask about who you were seeing or how serious it is.
When a couple is done and over, the man just doesn't care who the woman is spending her time with.
He's just happy that she's taken the next step in her life.
If you want him back be careful not to suggest to him that you've found someone to replace him.
That can really impact how he feels about you and can actually cost you another chance at happiness with him.
Your best bet is just to not date after the break up if you believe there's hope for a reunion between you two.
