What are the signs that an ex-boyfriend wants you back?

[Angelgrace48]

I am having some trouble understanding my ex-boyfriend's intentions. Two years ago, he broke up with me because my family found out we were together. It was the worst few nights of my life. My ex, Joshua, told me to either choose between him or my family. I was ready to choose him but he did not want me to lose my family so he ended it. We were both heartbroken because we still loved each other. He blocked me on social media but still had my number. Fast forward two years (we had on and off-contact for a little while then fully blocked me for an entire year and a half), a little over a week ago, I searched up Joshua's Snapchat username, not knowing if he would ever add me again. To my surprise, he unblocked me and added me and texted 'Hey, How's it going?'. I responded and we have been texting ever since. I asked him why he unblocked me and he said he just wanted to say hey. It doesn't sound right. I am an overthinker and it is difficult for me to know if a guy likes me. Joshua was the love of my life at one point. When he broke up with me, I was devastated and so was he. He didn't want me, and now he is back? It's confusing. He is single and I am single (i just broke up with someone over a month ago). Like, why unblock me after two years? I still like him. I think about him every day and have since we broke up. I just need to be clear about the signs and what to pay attention to. How do I not be so obvious and how do I keep his attention and not push him away? Hopefully, y'all can help me. Thank you all so much and have a blessed rest of your day/night!!

He most likely still wants you. He probably always wanted you and that’s why he had the heart to leave you instead of you picking him over your family. Family always comes first. Why are your parents against you dating him?

Well, i kept him a secret from my family for a long time.. my parent's aren't the easiest to deal with. I recently told them I wanted to date someone and they flat out said no. They didn't wanna meet him and they basically wanted me to do as they say or else ya know? I kept him a secret for this reason. Bc i didn't want him exposed to that. Im a product of them. I did not want him to leave because of their decision. But that ended up happening anyway. Damned if i do, damned if i don't.

@Angelgrace48 girl you are an adult. Tell your parents that you don’t see yourself being single forever and you need to experience life. They shouldn’t be treating you like a child anymore

Wait you wondering why he unblocked you and you are confused about why he is back um didn’t you go searching for him he was basically leaving you alone and not making any contact until you reached out to him

[Pterodon]

Why do you care? Do you really think it’ll be different? Do you really think people change?

Don't get hung up on 'why' and 'when' he contacted you. It really doesn't matter.

[Angelgrace48]

the fact is he did, i know. But i am an overthinker and i like straightforward answers. I feel like someone isn't telling me something and its freaking me out. I've been heartbroken too much for me to fall into traps...

[spartan55]

Knowing 'why' doesn't prevent you from anything

[Iron_Man]

He will keep calling you a lot

[Angelgrace48]

he hasn't called me at all... we just text. I want him to call.. but I don't know.. its just really hard thinking about all of this..

[Iron_Man]

Aww sorry
