Does My Ex Girlfriend Miss Me? What Makes You Think That Way

Since the day you two split up, your head has become a helium balloon about to burst.

Well, breakups can be upsetting but you don’t have to lose hope. Yes, stop clutching your heart because who knows your ex girlfriend might be thinking about you.

Does My Ex Girlfriend Miss Me? Is it true?​

"Well, breakups can be upsetting but you don’t have to lose hope. .."

First things first – you hate being dumped and your brain hates it even more. When you are upset or stressed after a breakup, your brain triggers the release of cortisol, epinephrine as well as other stress hormones that make breakups feel even more traumatic.

Your life doesn’t go anywhere; instead you’re left with swollen muscles, headaches, depressed thoughts, and a stiff back. The particular kind of sadness you feel after a breakup leaves your brain and body emotionally trampled for a while.

Dwelling over your ex or trying to figure out if she misses you leads to more physical woes and there will come a time when you want to escape the emotional rut so desperately.

So This Happened – My Ex Messaged Me!

Well, if this is true, you need to look on the bright side. Maybe you can try to focus on the things you couldn’t do before.

Professor Gary Lewandowski, associate professor of psychology suggests that you can do things that make you happy. No we’re not trash talking here, but one thing you should never do is lock yourself in a room. Instead, boost your brain’s dopamine system and do anything that would cheer your mind.

If your girlfriend dumped you, there are chances things just didn’t work out. Maybe she wanted a relationship and you were content with casual sex.

In any case, ending the relationship doesn’t mean you can never be together again.​

Hung up on an Ex – Congratulations, you’re not alone!

Studies suggest that one in 5 people are hung up on an ex. So if your girlfriend messaged you or emailed you, you can think about being together again.

Actually, when a bit of time passes after a breakup, you would start seeing your ex in a whole new light.

Even if your girlfriend dumped you, she would wonder where she got it wrong.

Suddenly the pleasant memories, positive moments and all that steamy text conversations would start running in her head.

​Dumping you after years of relationship isn’t really a sign that she hates you. There are chances you’ll find her text, tweet, Facebook post or email directed towards you very soon.

While social websites act as a handy portal to connect with your ex, the last thing you need at this point is to be dragged into your old relationship troubles back again.

Seven Classic Signs that She’s Still Thinking About You

Check out this video for starters:

The signs mentioned here are not 100% guarantee that your girlfriend wants you back. But you can hope for the best.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that if you want to win a woman back, you need to look at these signs in a positive light. The more confident and less desperate you portray yourself; the easier it will be for you to win her back.

You also need to understand that women are not impressed by desperate, or emotional weakness of men.

1. She stalks you!​

She checks your Facebook and other social media profiles at least once a day and likes your photos and comments.

If she didn’t want to get back with you, she would simply ignore your posts or worse, don’t even bother to interact with you.

2. She asks about you.

If you have mutual friends, she keeps asking about your love life and present relationship status.

3. She messages you.

She’s not hesitant to text you or send an email at the most awkward hours. She might not even hesitate to ask you to meet up with her again – simply put, there’s no fear of rejection.

You need to evaluate her body language and confidence closely the next time she meets you or talks to you over the phone.

4. She contacts you first.

She contacts you without you contacting her first to talk about your relationship and this is a pretty strong signal that she wants you back in her life.

Maybe she wants to apologize for her behavior or give an explanation. Regardless of the amount of interest she knows in contacting you, you’ve got to make the most of this moment. So when you meet her, don’t forget to show a renewed sense of respect and attraction.

Show her how you are a different person now and things have improved since the last time you two met.

If your relationship ended because of the mistakes you made, it is crucial that you impress her with the way you talk, think, behave and act now.

5. She has no boyfriend​.

If she is still single and doesn’t want to date another guy, there are chances she’s still looking for someone like you.

6. She hasn’t changed her routine.

She keeps the same schedule as when you were dating except that she’s hanging out alone.

7. She watches you closely.

She keeps an eye on the places you go thinking that you’ll bump into her accidently. And if two meet, she would say that she was here to meet someone else!
