Signs you should get back with your ex

Although in most cases I think it's not the best idea, there are those certain cases of Ross and Rachel, Corey and Topanga, or Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake...that give even the hopeless, some serious hope. Here are 10 signs you should consider giving your ex a second chance. Or third, or fourth...

1. You're not quite sure why the two of you broke up in the first place. When people ask why you broke up you give a generic answer like, they're great just not for me, or I want to see what else is out there, or the timing was off, or something was missing.

2. Neither party did anything seriously wrong. Sure, everyone has their faults. But as long as there was no cheating, emotional or physical abuse, lack of sexual chemistry, etc. there's nothing (morally) preventing you from giving them a second chance.

3. You both agree not to talk or contact each other. That's going about as well as the Bulls season this year.

4. You are looking for someone to replace them.

5. You've changed or they've changed.

6. You've dated other people and don't seem to like ANYONE. A lot of times when people can't find someone else, it's because they don't want to.

7. You got too serious too fast. Pumping the breaks was something both of you failed to do.

8. You find yourself thinking about them on a daily basis. You keep tabs on them, check their social media, and your friends can no longer listen to you talk about them. If you can't get someone out of your mind maybe they are supposed to be there.

9. Life was better with them.

10. Because there is the slight chance that this time it could work: Sometimes it takes people a few times to get things right. Sometimes people don't know what they have till it's gone. And sometimes people have to figure out for themselves that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. The truth is, unless you give it another shot you'll never know. And never is a pretty long time.  The good news is, if it doesn't work out, you'll be able to sleep at night knowing you gave it your all.
