After breaking up still being in love with someone who doesn't love you can be unbearable. When you see him out and you know that he decided to break the relationship off can be very difficult. You should remember that people who split up often get back together. After they get back together the relationship is usually better than it was the first time around. Don't give up hope if he's let you go, there are signals to look for that will tell you if your ex boyfriend still misses you.

If your ex boyfriend wants to maintain the friendship aspect after breaking off the relationship then there is still hope. This is never a bad sign. Wanting to remain friends shows he still care about you. What you need to do is use this friendship to grow it back into the something more you two used to have.

If you talk to your ex boyfriend regularly yet he says he misses you then you're in great shape as well. Even a simple passing "hello" is a good sign he hasn't completely let you go. He likely misses teh closeness the two of you shared and wants to see if you miss it too.

If your ex boyfriend is still contacting you that's a great sign he's still got feelings for you. The means of contact is not important. It could be through phone calls, text messages, email, or any other means of communication. Pay attention to how much and how often he does it, a regular pattern of contact reinforces this signal.

Your ex boyfriend may be wondering where he stands with you if he asks about your dating status. If he does this don't try and make him jealous by making up an imaginary, perfect boyfriend, instead be honest with him about who you're seeing or who you're aren't seeing. If he thinks you may have someone new in your life he may pull back and not try again.

The way your ex boyfriend acts around you is one of the biggest signals he can give. Does he still seem nervous around you? Can you sense there's something he may want to say or do? The situation doesn't matter much since you could be out having coffee with him or in a group setting with mutual friends you may share. You've got to make him feel comfortable again and and that you also have these same feelings. In order for this to finally see fruition one of you has to come clean about how you feel about the other. Watch the signals then act accordingly.
