Breakups are hard to deal with. You’ve been dating someone for a long time, but you decide all of a sudden that you don’t want to be with them anymore. There could be more than one reason. You may blame your ex; similarly, your ex can blame you. But in the end, you both feel bad about each other and go your separate ways.
The mess gets sorted out, the dust settles, and everything is fine again, until one of you realizes that the decision wasn’t right. Then things go wrong again. You just don’t know what to do. Your ex is acting like he or she is cold and hot. In the same way, your heart and brain tell you different things. When things are like this, you need some help from a friend.
In today’s article, you’ll learn the subtle/obvious signs that your ex still has feelings for you. He wants to make things right with someone, one way or another. Do you want to go back as well? Or do you still want to stay apart?
When you’re in a situation like this, you need to think about how you feel, clear the air, and figure out what you want to do. You can only come up with a clear plan of action after you have cleared your mind. It’s not that your thoughts are all over the place. Humans, like all other living things, have an intuition that leads them to their gut instincts. Getting them to read between the lines is a good thing.
Even if you and your ex are no longer friends, he or she might still give you subtle hints to get your attention. They are everywhere. But we have written down 10 of the most obvious ones below.
1. Having conversations about the past
You’d rather your ex move on after you break up with them. But when your ex brings up events from the past with a desire to relive them, like “Remember when we used to do…”, it’s clear that he’s been thinking about the times he spent with you. He is testing the water to see if you still need his love or if you’ve moved on.
2. Getting in touch with you for small talk
That’s a clear sign that your ex isn’t over you yet. He will keep making up excuses to talk to you. If you two weren’t best friends in the past and haven’t talked since you broke up, then this isn’t normal and could mean that he has feelings for you.
3. He texts or calls you when he’s drunk
Alcohol has a strong effect on the brain. If he calls you after midnight, be careful. Or if he wants to meet you at the bar for a drink. Or if he’s drunk and you’re the first person he calls or texts. Then something must be wrong with him.
4. Making you jealous
You broke up and have moved on. Is there any point in trying to make them jealous of who they are dating or who they are seeing? Who wants to make their ex-lover jealous for no reason? Without a doubt, a person who still cares about someone after they broke up with them. It can be done by stalking your social media accounts or posting random pictures on their feeds with a cheeky girl from the night club. All of them are meant to make you feel bad.
5. Dating your acquaintances
People sometimes try to get over their ex by dating someone in the same group. This is a move that the person is making on purpose, which shows that they still care about you and want to stay close to you in some way.
6. Getting out of your way on purpose
You had been dating for a while, so he would know where you like to hang out and what time you usually go there. Then you shouldn’t be surprised that your ex shows up there sometimes. But if you see them there a lot, it’s a strong sign that they love you.
7. Wishing you on special days
Even though your ex wished you a happy birthday, that doesn’t mean he still cares about you. But if he wishes you well on all the important days of the year, what else do you need to know about his feelings for you? He’s been thinking about you, and he wants to let you know that you’re still important to him.
8. Taking the time to talk with you
If you and your ex see each other often and your ex stays behind to talk to you and ask what you’ve been up to lately. This is a sign; you can easily tell that he wants to know more about you and what has happened in your life since he left.
9. Keeping in touch with the people you already know
If they try to keep in touch with you for no clear reason, that’s enough to make you think they’re up to something. But if they ask your friends about you every once in a while, this shows that they still care about you. They just can’t let go of you, and they want to know everything that’s going on in your life.
10. Not dating anybody
Now, this is the clearest sign that your ex doesn’t want to let go of the good times you had together. People usually start dating someone else once they’ve gotten over their heartbreak and life has returned to normal. When you do this, you get rid of every memory from the past. But what would you do or think if you knew they weren’t going out with anyone?
So, guys, we’ve tried to give you a quick rundown of most of the ways your ex might be trying to show you that he still loves you.
