At some point or another, an ex is going to come crawling back. It happens. Before you fall for the tears, take a look at this list of questions and really evaluate whether giving it a second shot is a good idea.

1. Do you love him?

And I don't mean 6th grade, he gave me a peck on the cheek, love.

2. Does he love you?

Is the feeling mutual, or is it like my love for Jesse McCartney?

3. Does he treat you right?

Meaning does he actually show that he cares instead of just saying it? Does he give you what you need out of a relationship or are you left on read all day?

4. Do your friends like him?

Odds are, the answer is no. You already broke up one time. If your friends don't like them, you're gonna have a hard time. It is what it is.

5. Does your family like him?

If they can't look your parents in the eye, it's probably not a good idea.

6. Are you just lonely?

Do you want them, or do you just want someone?

7. Why did you break up?

Was it time? Distance? Has that factor changed so it will work out this time?

8. How was the breakup?

Did you cry for a week or was it just a pin prick of emotion? Would you be willing to go through it again?

9. Did you stay friends?

Not "I wave when I see him and he looks away like he doesn't know me" friends.

10. What was said post-breakup?

To borrow words from the ever-eloquent Taylor Swift, if he told all his friends you're "obsessive and crazy," it's probably not the best idea.

11. Will you look like an idiot for getting back together with him?

Thanks, Dwight.

12. Have you told your friends to slap you if you think about getting back with him?

Avoid the slap.

Take just a moment and ask yourself the questions above to see if it's really a good idea to get back with him.
