If you want to initiate steps that will win your ex's affection then you will first have to know how he/she feels towards you.
Does the very thought about you repel him/her or is he/she in a forgiving mood and ready to warm up to you.
Here are 7 keys that will tell you exactly what your ex feels about you.
Read them carefully before you make an attempt to win him/her back.
Make a casual call Call up your ex at a time when he/she is not at home and leave a message on his/her answering machine.
You may also text him/her or send an email.
However, keep the content formal and be brief, just enquiring about your ex's well being is a good idea.
Wait for his/her response Having taken the first step wait for a while to see what his/her response will be like.
If your ex promptly replies to your message/mail/text then it means that he/she was just waiting for it.
It also means that your ex harbors no ill feeling towards you and your way is clear.
Subtly let your ex know that you are in trouble and need help This is one trick that you will have to play with great care.
Through common friends or family let your ex know that you need help and only he/she is qualified to help you.
However, be careful and see that the pretext is good enough or else this trick will backfire on you big time.
If the very next day you see your ex at your doorstep then you are in luck and he/she has no malice towards you.
Read his/her body language Try to interpret the signals his/her body gives out when you are around.
If you notice a distinct unease in his/her gestures or if your ex stiffens up, loses his/her smile or leaves the room then you still have work to do.
However, don't get disheartened you can still make your way back into your ex's heart.
Try flirting Although you would ideally like to go around with your ex this trick will tell you whether your ex is really ready to move on or you still have a chance of getting back with him/her.
Flirt casually and innocently with others in the presence of your ex.
If you see the hurt in his/her eyes and the face turn pale, it means your ex cannot imagine you with anyone expect them.
Do the disappearing act Without announcing to the world just disappear from the scene for a few weeks.
However, let your closest friends know where you are and check if your ex misses you and inquires about your whereabouts.
If he/she does then it means the day of a happy reunion is not far.
Find out from his/her family This is the easiest way you can find how your ex feels about you.
Your ex's family invites you over to their place for parties or other functions without reservations.
Well, it means that your ex has not spoken ill about you to his/her friends or family members.
It also means that your ex has not consigned you to history and you can still try to win him/her over.
