Umm...I have two opinions on this:

1. If he had to lose you to figure out that he needed you. MAYBE that meant he wasn't serious about you in the first place.
2. He wants you back. MAYBE he's set his heart and mind on you this time.

Personally, I'd go back with him. But that's coz I have a weak resolve =w=
Do you love him? Whether you go back with him or not depends on how strong you feel for him.

Good luck <3

It could mean that he didn't realize and appreciate what he had (aka you) until he lost it.

It could mean many things but the way I see it is not that he didn't want you before. He probably thought he didn't want to commit to the relationship or that he needed his freedom and the minute he got it he realized it was not at all what he wanted. He probably misses you now and realizes that maybe everything he thought he wanted is overrated compared to what he had with you

I love when guys do this. All I can say is RUN! Don't waste your time! It's all a sign on dominance. I take it you broke up with him? Guys have a thing with that... Usually it's if they see that you are doing okay with out them, or they want to take control. You push them away and they get this thing "no girl turns me down". It usually ends up with the two getting back together until he finds something better and leaves you.

Ehh... I personally would leave him alone. I've been in this kind of situation before. I find that the whole "I didn't know what I wanted before but now I know" usually means "I didn't want you before but now I can't find or get anyone better" You're too good for that.

That's a tough one. I've been in situations where it was like a dominiance/control thing. The guy didn't like that I'd moved on and wasn't some weepy damsel in distress thing. He came back and said that line and I pretty much laughed at him and told him he had his chance.
Been in another situation where the guy didn't appreciate me as much as she should have before we broke up. He came back, more or less said the line, and this time I did take this guy back, because I loved him and believed him when he said he knew what he wanted. For me, that turned out to the right decision as we're married now with kids and happy but it can go both ways. Trust your heart. It's never wrong.

it could be he didnt want a relationship at the time but now hes ready and wanting to commit.
my advice is regardless what it means if u get with him take it slow to make sure its not a trick with an alterior motive.
im in the same boat so thats why im givin u that advice

Hi I'm in the same situation... The difference is that he left me and now he wants me back :) He told me earlier that he's a difficult person with relationships and then that he wasn't ready. I'm taking it slow and making sure he doesn't think i'm just easy or something and to see that it isn't just some kind of a trick. + I'm a very forgiving person and I dpn't fool myself I'm prepared if it goes the same way again! I would say take the chance but be cautious and make him work for you!
