The Proverbial Check-ins:
If you’ve re-established communication with the ex and can speak to him without thoughts of homicide, he’s going to call out of the blue to check on you and see what you have been up to, and eventually he’ll feel emboldened enough to inquire about who you’ve been dating and how strong the relationship is. Eventually, if you don’t have a new man in your life or are just dating, he’ll work around to asking you out or wanting to come over just to talk. If you respond positively to his overtures, and the sex was good while you were with him, then you’ll be tempted to revisit those romantic moments that had you daydreaming about him at work and have people wondering why you’re smiling for no reason.
