The prospect of dating your ex again might be very exciting, but keep in mind that many things need to happen before you get to this point.
You'll need to have first accepted that your relationship is over, and your ex must know that you understand this.
You'll also need to have dropped off your exboyfriend's radar for a while, something that will immediately catch his attention.
Once you've closed the door to the old relationship and gone on to have some good times without him, your ex will be truly questioning whether or not he should've broken up with you in the first place.
Before the reunion date there must be contact, and if you played your cards right it was probably your ex who contacted you.
Hopefully you kept your cool, and didn't let on that you were too overly excited.
While your goal is to win back your ex boyfriend, you need to recognize that you don't have him back yet.
Setting up a meeting with him in a neutral place isn't all that romantic, but it's a necessary step along the path to getting back together with your ex.
A typical reunion date should be treated a lot like any first date, which makes sense because you're trying to build a whole new relationship.
The romance you had together in the past was flawed or it wouldn't have ended in the first place.
You'll need to concentrate on new beginnings and fresh starts if you want to succeed in giving yourselves another chance.
For this reason, steer clear of anything heavy.
Keep the conversation light and casual.
If you missed your ex, you can tell him so, but also tell him the reasons why.
And above all, listen! Let your ex talk, and really try to hear the things he's saying.
Dating ex boyfriend etiquette consists of an extremely tricky set of rules.
Here you have two people who have tons of experience together on the most intimate levels, yet the two of you are supposed to act like friends in this type of situation.
Flirting or wanting to be close here is okay, and it's especially okay if your ex boyfriend is initiating the closeness.
Just be careful with how things go down, because your ex could be thinking of scoring a potential hookup.
Don't be blind to this possibility.
Sleeping with your ex after such an emotional reunion meeting isn't all that uncommon, but remember that you want a long-term relationship with him...
not just a temporary one.
During the reunion date, don't mention the breakup.
When getting back together with your ex, there will be plenty of time to talk about those things later.
Also during your meeting, try to recognize the signs that your exboyfriend is ready to reconcile with you.
His mannerisms, words, and body language will all tell you what his intentions are.
The guide below contains a full list of these often subtle signs that your ex is ready to get back together again.
