Personally, I don't think you should want your ex back. I prefer to look forward rather than backwards.
No contact isn't to bring them back, it's to help you move on.
Generally speaking, of course.
Everyone at least wants the option of having their ex back. The steps outlined above never hurt your position.
There are several reasons I would consider dating her again (assuming she puts some effort in toward that end):
A) She is no longer married. I never dated a married person and this obviously was a major issue.
B) I proved to her that I will give her total freedom (I'm probably the first man in her life to do that) and she appreciated it and offered to make it up to me.
C) I proved to her that I will never stalk her or threaten her (something all women fear, and something she needed to break up with me to really know for sure).
D) I proved to her how strong I am by walking away. She knows she can lose me now, so she respects me more.
E) She proved to me that our relationship wasn't about money (I've had stripper relationships break down and they often aren't pretty).
F) The time apart proved to me how much she meant to me, and how hard it is to replace her, so I respect her more now.
G) The time apart followed by her reaching out proved that she won't forget me.
H) We had incredible sex on our first date and our last date. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, I'd have to be insane to assume we won't have more great sex if I see her.
J) The odds of incredible makeup sex are extremely high.
K) She was always a sweetheart, even when the mask came off. I never saw her be a b!tch. I never saw her break down and snap and say something like "I USED you!! I NEVER loved you!" like many female members here have, when their masks came off.
L) She always told me about the other men she was seeing, and we never had a commitment, so she never cheated on me.
M) It was one year ago today (later realizing that was the second time I saw her) that I fell in love with her in one glance. No girl ever struck me the way she did, not even close. She was always the most beautiful girl I ever saw.
N) Her needing to go back to work proves that her new man can't pay the bills.
O) A series of fateful coincidences happened which has added to what was already a great romance.
What are the cons? That it might hurt to lose her again? I'm not sure the pain of not having her will ever go away.
That said, I would need to start over and maintain the upper hand. The process of photographing her had me pedestalize her and I lost some control.
