Have you broken up with your ex and contemplating on reconnecting and giving him or her a second chance?

Well, ask yourself these 3 questions before rekindling that flame:

1. Could I be possibly happy which someone else?

More often after a breakup, we keep our blinders on, making it quite difficult to see the potential of being happy with another person because we're busy mourning our exes.

However, the truth is being open to dating someone else after that heartbreak can potentially bring you the same or even more happiness than your previous relationship.

However, don't just date for the sake of it. Ensure you're completely over your ex and that you're mentally and emotionally ready to dive back into the dating pool. 

2. What makes this second chance different?

You and your ex clearly broke up for a reason, so before you make this big decision of reconciling with your ex, you need to figure out if anything has changed for the better, or it is just the same old.

If possible, have a sit down with your ex, and be clear on what changes need to happen to make the relationship more successful before giving him a second chance. 

Go ahead and ask those tough questions just to make sure you have clarity and you're on the same page

That way, you'll be able to weigh if its worth the shot or no.

3. Am I just lonely?

It is normal to miss your ex and feel lonely at some point after a breakup. 

However, don't allow your feelings to be the reason why you want to reconnect and give your ex a second chance. Ask yourself if you really want him back or is it because you're bored or afraid to be alone.
