So you've been working on getting your girlfriend back, and things seem to be going well. You have been apart for a while now and when you talk to her or see her out somewhere, she seems interested in you again. It seems like she wants you back and you are considering making the next move.

Of course if your entire goal has been getting your girlfriend back, it seems like a victory that she's interested again. Why wouldn't you want to jump on the chance to get her back before it's too late? Here are 3 reasons why you should wait a little bit longer.

1. It's called Premature Reconciliation. If you get back together too soon nothing will have changed. And if your ex isn't 100% committed to wanting you back, it is only going to push her further away. In fact, it could ruin your chances of getting back together permanently.

2. You want to be sure that getting back with your girlfriend is done on your terms. Yes, both of you need to compromise. Maybe she told you the breakup was your fault and you've been working on yourself to make her happy. But if you get back together before you talk through the things you would like her to change, you will end up resenting her. She needs to work on the relationship too so that you can both be happy once you're back together.

3. You need to make sure the patterns have truly changed. If you get back together too soon, you will repeat the same arguments and have the same problems you had before the breakup. When you are with someone for a while, they become predictable. This leaves no room for change or mystery. If you get back together too soon, your ex girlfriend will see you as the man she thinks you are, not as the man you really want to be. She will still take you for granted and even if you have changed she won't be able to see it.
