Is my ex looking for reconciliation or am I just getting my hopes up?

Question - (5 May 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 6 May 2010)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Me and my ex have been broken up for 2 months now. She broke up with me 3 weeks ago she initiated contact and we talked back and forth through text for that entire week. She explained how she missed me incredibly and wanted to know if I've been thinking of her. I kept cool and didn't show desperation. Then we got together that Friday and had our first conversation since the break up. It was awkward but we just kept calm and talked about what has been going on in our lives.

That meet took us no where but a week and a half later I messaged her asking what her intention was for wanting to talk that week. She just said that she wanted to know how I was feeling since the break up and whether I still cared and missed her. I then asked why it was such a concern to her in which she responded with "isn't it obvious?" That got my hopes up and I got the impression she wants to reconcile but I'm still unsure. I haven't responded and this was last night. I don't know how I should respond. What do you guys think? Does it seem like she wants back? I know she's never been direct with things so it could be possible. What should I say back to her?

Well I don't know what to think right now. I feel like we're just playing games with eachother and I feel she might be annoyed. I asked if she's implying that she wants to try and work something out and she responded with "what do you mean in something?" I just feel like this is getting us no where. What do I say now? I just feel like apologizing for asking too many questions and then just forget it. I guess if she wants to try and work something she'll just say it. I thought for a while she wanted me back but now I'm just thinking she's messing with me.

she put the ball in your court to see what you respond back. play it cool man... you did the right by not responding... now wait a day or two... and see what she does because you dont want to get your hopes up... and get shut down... so by allowing her to make all the moves... then you can tell if she wants you back or not... hope that helps and update when you can = )

janniepeg agony auntYou'd been broken up for 2 months or 3 weeks? The information missing here is what made her break up with you. Until your issues are resolved and are confident that whatever happened would not happen again you should still remain friends. You can't just break up and then get back together and act like nothing had happened. Her question was do you care for her and miss her. Give her your honest answers, simple and plain. They don't tell her anything about getting back together. And no it's not obvious. Obvious means her saying "can we get back together again as girlfriends and boyfriends? I am still single, haven't dated anyone and I hope you are too." Now that's clear. Until she has that kind of talk with you, nothing happens. She's the one who broke up with you. The ball's in her court so she has to be the one to ask you to come back.
