Your ex still likes you when he has told you that he does, and is making a conscientious effort to show you that he has made positive changes to his personality.

There is a poignant attempt to get you back.

He does this by consistently calling you and asking you out.

At a moment’s notice, he makes his time available to you.

He is keen to come to your aid whenever you need a favor, and is constantly inquiring about your well-being.

Whenever there is an opportune moment, he doesn’t hesitate to give you compliments.

This is an ex that still likes you.

This being said, the trap that you don’t want to fall in is in believing that all of this means that there is a future for either of you in a new relationship.

The truth is, you are yet to determine whether your ex has made positive changes to his personality.

It is feasible that your ex is yet to make those positive changes to his personality, and remains more or less the same person that you knew from your past.

He has regrets about his previous actions while he was in a relationship with you, but he is still technically the same person.

This means that he hasn’t handled and overcome the personal issues within him that led to the end of the relationship you had with him.

These personal issues aren’t going to go away because you choose to start dating him again.

This is why it is never a good idea to jump right back into a relationship with your ex.

Don’t let yourself be tricked into believing that he has changed based on what he is telling you.

In all honesty, even your ex is susceptible to making himself believe that he has changed.

Nevertheless, there is no evidence of this profound change, yet.

Determine whether this personality change has occurred by patiently observing his behavior over time,

How does he behave around people?

How does he behave around you?

Listen to what people are saying about your ex.

What are his friends or family saying?

What are his coworkers saying about him?

If all the accounts that you are getting are positive, then your ex indeed is a changed person.

On the contrary, when the accounts you are getting are negative or muddled, exercise caution when considering taking your ex back or being with your ex.

A desperate ex is inclined to fill your ears with the sweetest words, intent on making you believe that he has become a better person.

But, those words have no bearing without evidence.

Avoid getting caught up on how you continue to feel for your ex and how you want to be with him so badly.

This mustn’t cloud your judgment.

By being patient enough to get the evidence first, you save yourself a lot of heartache.

Many exes, propelled by emotion, get back together without taking the time to gather evidence that proves that a positive change has occurred in an ex.

These are exes that enter a cycle of constantly making up and breaking up.

All the while, they are disrupting their own love lives, losing out on potential partners who are a much better match for them.
