21 signs your ex girlfriend wants you back but won’t admit it

Wondering if your ex-girlfriend wants you back?

It’s a tough thing to go through, but it’s also very common. 

What makes it even more difficult, is that your ex may be reluctant to admit that they still love you and want you back. 

Women will often play games even if they are interested in someone.

If she hasn’t made it clear through her words or actions, you might want to look out for these 21 signs your ex-girlfriend wants you back but won’t admit it.

1) She contacts you first after a long period of silence

Normally, you would reach out to your ex first, but she’s the one who does it instead.

She might claim that she just wants to stay friends or that she misses you.

In my experience, it’s usually about allowing her to reconnect with you and still have a shot at getting back together again.

2) She constantly wants to know what you’re up to

She wants to know where you are, how your day was, what you’re doing with your life and who you’re with.

Why?

Because deep down she still cares.

3) She wants to be friends with you

Yes, she might think that being friends is the best choice for both of you but in reality, she wants to keep you around.

That’s because being friends with you is still better than not seeing you at all.

Trust me, if she was truly over you and had no feelings left whatsoever towards you, she wouldn’t waste time on friendship – if anything she would want to stay as far away from you as possible.

You can take advantage of this situation by doing the right things to win her back.

I was in a similar position when I turned to Brad Browning for advice on how to make my ex fall for me again.

4) She’s still contacting you even though she has a new boyfriend

Sure, she might seem happy with her new boyfriend but it doesn’t mean that she’s over you.

Because if she was, why would she still contact you?

Yes, maybe she just wants to be friends.

However, it also could be that she’s still thinking about you and hasn’t completely let go of your relationship.

5) She constantly checks up on you through social media or friends

She’s probably still following you even though she has a new boyfriend.

Why? 

Well, obviously because she still cares about what you’re doing and wants to see what new things are in your life.

It could be a bit annoying but it also shows that she hasn’t totally gotten over you – if only yet.

6) She talks about how you’re better than her new boyfriend 

If she doesn’t have any positive things to say about her new guy, but instead compares him negatively to you, it might mean that:

a) She hasn’t fully committed herself to the new relationship and still has feelings for you or…

b) Her boyfriend is just not good for her.

7) She asks about your current relationship status

Why would she be interested in what you’re doing if she didn’t care?

Maybe she wants to know if you’re truly happy or not.

It could be that she hopes that your relationship won’t last and wants to leave the door open for you.

Either way, it’s clear that she’s not as over you as she pretends to be.

She might also be a bit jealous of your new relationship, which I’ll explain in my next point.

8) She’s jealous of your new girlfriend

Perhaps she wishes she was in the same position as your new girlfriend.

Why else would she be jealous of her? 

Whatever the reason may be, it’s clear that your ex still wants you back because if she didn’t care, this wouldn’t bother her.

9) She talks negatively of your new girlfriend 

She puts your new girlfriend down in order to make herself feel better.

She might say things like “She’s not good for you,” or “You deserve much better than that.”

Why? 

Because in her mind, she thinks she’s the only one who can be good for you and wants your attention back.

10) She keeps talking about how much you’ve changed

By talking about how much you’ve changed, she might be trying to convince herself that she, in fact, wants to get back with you.

She might say things like: “I noticed that you’ve changed a lot since I last saw you. You’re the same person but not anymore.”

The problem is that… nothing has changed except for you and your new relationship, so she’s making up excuses for why she wants to reconnect with you again.

11) She still has your things

It’s a bit of a pride thing, but she might still have some of your stuff (clothes, wedding ring, picture, etc.) that she refuses to throw away and get rid of.

She may want to avoid the reminder by throwing them away but deep down she wants to keep them as if in case you never come back, it will be proof that you were in her life before.

12) She wants to hang out

She might say that she just wants to catch up on old times but in reality, she’s doing it because:

a) She misses you 

b) She misses the good old days 

c) She’s hoping for a second chance

13) She drops hints about how she misses the old days

You might be the only one who can see it, but she’s dropping hints that she misses your good old days together.

She might say things like: “It was always fun when we would hang out.” Or “We had so much fun back then.”

14) She shows signs of regret 

She might be regretting how it ended.

She might tell you how much she regrets that she let things go bad and wants to fix it.

Again, this is a way for her to show that she has no intention of letting you go or moving on from your relationship. 

15) She creates drama in her life to test if you will come back for her or not

She does it because… well, that’s how women are.

Women love drama and when someone leaves them, they want to create drama in order to get that person back.

It might even be initiated from something small like you forgetting her birthday. (More explanation in my following point.

They will usually do so by creating a situation where they are alone and vulnerable and then wait for you to rescue her – but the truth is, if she was truly over you, she wouldn’t do this.

16) She gets upset when you miss her birthday 

For some reason, she thinks that if you miss her birthday, it means you’re not thinking about her and are potentially moving on.

That’s why she might get upset if you miss her birthday or don’t send a card – even if it was unintentional.

17) She wants to make plans with you

She misses you and wants to reconnect but she fears that you won’t want to do something with her anymore.

So, if you want to get back with your ex and she still has feelings for you, make sure to schedule a date on the calendar.

It’s as easy as that.

This relates back to what Brad Browning taught me – there are simple ways to get your ex back.

I mentioned Brad earlier, he’s an expert at helping couples work through their issues and rebuild their relationships.

If you really want your ex back, this video can help you.

18) She’s upset when you’re happy 

She thinks that if you’re happy, it means you’ve moved on.

She doesn’t want to be forgotten and your happiness is a sign that she’s out of sight and out of mind.

She doesn’t want you to be happy without her because she still wants you.

19) She flirts with you

This can work in your favor. 

If she flirts with you, it means she wants you back but is holding back.

It also means that she’s still interested in you and that she wants to reconnect but doesn’t know how to talk about it with you.

20) She tries to get you jealous

She might try to get you jealous by flirting with others in front of you.

She may send messages that are suggestive and it’s easy for a man to be jealous when this happens.

The truth is, she’s just trying to see if she can still have you wrapped around her finger and wants to know if she still has a chance.

21) She won’t let you move on completely

Most women know that the best way to get a man back is by making him think about them often. 

She knows that you can’t move on if she’s still there in your head somewhere.

If you can’t have him, nobody can.

This is the exact reason why she’s not letting you move on completely.

Bottom line

By considering these signs, you can quickly figure out whether or not your ex wants to get back with you.

There are a lot of different situations out there and it’s important for you to be able to recognise them.

The more you understand about women and the way they think and act, the better your chances of getting her back will be.

You can also make use of the incredible techniques from Brad Browning to help rebuild the love between you and your ex as I’ve mentioned earlier.

No matter what your situation is — or how badly you’ve messed up since the two of you broke up — he’ll give you a number of useful tips that you can apply immediately.
