Transcript
- 0:00You're in no contact. You want your ex back.
- 0:03Are there any signs or clues that your ex is starting to
- 0:08change their mind and might be back?
- 0:10Well, I am so glad you asked because the answer is yes.
- 0:16What happens just before your ex comes back?
- 0:18Well, stay tuned and you'll find out.
- 0:21Hi, this is Lucia with the Art of Love.
- 0:23I'm a deity and relationship expert specializing, helping you
- 0:26get your ex back or to get over your ex.
- 0:28And if you are in no contact, make sure you download my apps
- 0:31Silencio to help you stay in no contact.
- 0:34And the link for that is underneath every single video
- 0:36and podcast. And if you too would like to
- 0:38join our wonderful no contact army, all you have to do is hit
- 0:42the subscribe button and the bell notification and you're in.
- 0:47And to read our manual, go to nocontactsecrets.com, where you
- 0:52can read 2 free chapters before you purchase the book.
- 0:56OK, so the version of you that your ex has in mind is someone
- 1:02that they're no longer attracted to, someone that they do not see
- 1:07as high value, thus the reason for the breakup.
- 1:13And one of the reasons we do know contact is to show them
- 1:19that no, they're wrong and you are someone who's attractive and
- 1:24high value and they're missing out.
- 1:27You need to show them that you're not the same person.
- 1:30And you do that with no contact. So it's confusing now because
- 1:33they thought you were one way, but suddenly you appear to be
- 1:36another way. They didn't expect this.
- 1:38And this will cause them to get curious, as I've mentioned in
- 1:42many other videos, and either reach out or start orbiting.
- 1:48And when you ignore their bread crumbs, as I say to do, the
- 1:51silent message you're sending is that you respect yourself and
- 1:55that raises your value. And it also shows that you have
- 1:59options. And you're not going to
- 2:01entertain someone who who's low effort, even if it is your ex.
- 2:05And this is when they start to test you.
- 2:10If you want them to come back, they need to know it's safe and
- 2:14that they can trust you. And this always happens before
- 2:18an X comes back. So what are some of the tests
- 2:21they'll use? Well, one test is when they try
- 2:24to put you in the friend zone. And I say try because of course
- 2:27we're too smart for that in the no contact army.
- 2:30Or they may try to keep you on the back burner without a title.
- 2:34Again, a big no no, something that a lot of XS do and it
- 2:39drives everyone nuts because they're like, why are they doing
- 2:41this? And that is watching your
- 2:43stories, liking your posts, but not saying anything.
- 2:48So are you going to watch the stories of the person who dumped
- 2:52you? No.
- 2:54Are you going to be low value and break no contact?
- 2:57No. But they're hoping you will.
- 2:59They're testing you. Another test could be to ask you
- 3:04to do a favor, ask a question. And this is an easy one to see
- 3:08through because they'll either ask you to do something that
- 3:12someone else could easily have done for them, or they could
- 3:15have found out the answer by asking Google or ChatGPT.
- 3:20But what they want to do is to test to see if you still have
- 3:23feelings for them or they stand with you if you're even speaking
- 3:26to them. And one of my clients is going
- 3:29through this right now. Her ex asked her to do him a
- 3:33favor. I know I told her to say no and
- 3:36she's been freaking out ever since, thinking that she did the
- 3:40wrong thing by not being compliant and doing the XA favor
- 3:44after she was dumped. And I have to keep reassuring
- 3:47her that no was the right thing to do.
- 3:50But I know that when you're in no contact, the right thing
- 3:53often feels like the wrong thing and vice versa.
- 3:56You're in an upside down world and another test might be
- 3:59disrespecting your boundaries. So this is when they call you 10
- 4:02times in a row or they may contact you late at night and
- 4:07you know what? They're no longer your partner.
- 4:09And so they no longer have the privilege of having access to
- 4:12you at night. So again, they're trying to test
- 4:14you and see, are you weak? Are you going to respond?
- 4:18What's going on? They may try to make you
- 4:20jealous, but again, we're too smart for that.
- 4:23If anything, we're going to make them jealous.
- 4:25OK. And in fact, I made a whole
- 4:27video on jealousy and on why you should never act jealous.
- 4:31And I'll put the link in the right and corner on YouTube.
- 4:36So the important thing to keep in mind is that if you're
- 4:38passing their tests and behaving high value, then things are
- 4:42moving in the right direction. They're testing to see if you've
- 4:45changed, if your value has gone up.
- 4:48And remember though that if you took them for granted, meaning
- 4:51that they didn't feel like they were a priority for you or you
- 4:54cheated, then after a short period of no contact, usually
- 4:58about 30 days, you need to respond to the bread crumbs.
- 5:01Unfortunately I know and show that indeed you are interested.
- 5:06And when they reach out, unless you cheated or took them for
- 5:09granted, then they are the ones who need to make the move, even
- 5:14if you're a male. So do not ask to meet up.
- 5:21And I know I said differently in a previous video, but that was
- 5:24like 7 years ago and I've since changed my mind.
- 5:28People are allowed to change their mind once they have more
- 5:30information. Because sometimes your ex may
- 5:34reach out but they're not ready to get back together.
- 5:36Or maybe they were just temporarily missing you.
- 5:39Or even worse, they may say they want to meet up but then they
- 5:42cancel. So that means they're still
- 5:44unsure, they're still not ready, and chasing after them is not
- 5:48going to do anything. So if you're a guy, even if your
- 5:50ex contacts you do not ask them to get together OK, despite what
- 5:56everyone else is saying. So just remain high value and
- 5:59let them do what they're going to do.
- 6:03They got to get to a place where they feel safe with you and when
- 6:07they do then they will want to come back.
- 6:10And finally, the good news is that if your ex isn't having
- 6:14second thoughts and isn't possibly reconsidering, then
- 6:17they wouldn't be testing you. So be happy when they test you
- 6:20because now you are prepared to pass the tests with flying
- 6:23colors. OK, so now I want to hear from
- 6:26you. Has your ex done any of these
- 6:29tests and how did it go or have they done another test?
- 6:33And what test was it and how did it go?
