8 Signs on How to Know if Your Ex is Over You For Real

Ex is always an interesting subject. Whether you’re the one decided to break up or got dumped, there’s always that tiny bit of you wondering how your ex is doing if he still misses you or not. It may not even be because you want to get back together with them, although in most cases yes, you could just be curious.

Whatever your motive is, here we will explain to you all the signs so you know whether your ex is truly over you or still secretly wants you back!

It sucks when someone used to be an important part of your life and it just suddenly ended like that. You used to keep checking his story every day to see what he’s up to when you couldn’t see him that day. He did the same for you too.

A good way to tell whether he is truly over you is to see if he still checks out your story. It sounds shallow, yet incredibly accurate. He will still check out your story if he is still not over because he also wants to know how you’re doing.

On the contrary, if he is over you, he just wouldn’t bother to check out your story on purpose because you’re just really not on his mind. This may be a small thing, yet a very strong indicator to see if he is over you.

There’s a difference between someone pretending to be happy and someone smiling from their heart. If you hear from your ex that he is joining a lot of social activities or like going on boat parties and hiking with friends etc. It means he is already having a life without you and he is okay with it.

It’s usually hard for someone griefing to be around a huge social group as they usually just want to be with those they’re really close to and comfortable with. If you see him happily chilling with a group of friends, chances are he is ready to expand his circle and to meet someone new.

People that pretend to be over someone when they do not think that asking you how you are directly is a sign of weakness and shows that they’re still not over you. They shouldn’t think it’s awkward to talk to you directly, as a friend, if they don’t think anything more of it.

They want to know how you’re doing, yet they don’t want to talk to you directly. So they talk to your mutual friends instead. He will ask your mutual friends out and just casually bring you up. He may even say he is truly over you and doesn’t care about you, but then he will ask if anyone knows what you’re up to.

He won’t ask how you’re doing if he really doesn’t care and he will ask you directly if he wants to know. Asking about you from friends just shows how much he is not over you but is pretending to be.

Honestly, when you are really over someone or just want to move on, you wouldn’t be talking about that person 24/7. You just want to stop talking about them so you can have the time to work on yourself. Talking about the other person too often just shows that you may really want to be over him, but you’re not.

During a hangout with a friend, he will always bring up things that you two used to do and end it with ‘’but I don’t care anymore.’’ Cool, if you don’t care, why are you talking about it? He is just trying to show that he doesn’t care, but the fact that he is constantly talking about it already shows he is not tricking anyone but himself.

Maybe he does want to be over you, but right now, he is certainly only pretending to be.

Getting another girl to help you get over a breakup is like putting a bandaid on your wound. The wound is still there and you’re just trying to cover it. No one can move on immediately after a breakup if both had truly been in love. If you see or hear from friends that he is already out partying and meeting girls, it’s very likely that he is still not over you.

It’s probably too painful for him to just think about you. That’s why he is out every night hoping he will meet someone else so he can forget you. Being too active is not always a sign of moving on. It’s more likely that he hasn’t but is really pushing himself to.

If he was never a party person but is now staying out all night all the time, it clearly shows that he doesn’t want to be alone at night and is forcing himself to try new things so he could get over you. A lot of people do it. It’s normal to try new things as it keeps you away from the past. You should know that he is still trying to move on if you see him doing all these new and possibly unusual things for him.

It happens to a lot of couples that share the same friendship group and don’t know what to do after a breakup. It’s not exactly easy to keep seeing or hearing about your ex but it’s also not worth losing your friends over it. So what happens is that a lot of people would choose to keep a distance for a while for things to cool down until they’re ready to meet again without feeling upset.

If your ex is trying to keep distance and not show up at your mutual friends’ meetings, it might not be that he hates you or doesn’t want to see you. Probably he just finds it too hard to deal with as it reminds him of all the things.

Whether you should be friends with your ex is one thing, texting your ex constantly as if you never broke up is another thing. You broke up for a reason. You would still be together if things were going totally great. There’s absolutely no reason for exes to keep texting each other all the time.

It’s a very obvious sign that he still has feelings for you, and very possibly, wants to get back together with you. Giving each other time to move on and not be in contact is important after a relationship ends. It’s difficult to get used to a life without someone but pretending nothing has changed will not do anyone any good. It’s just a sign of holding onto something that’s not even there.

It’s a very nice gesture when someone sends you a picture of what they’re seeing and says it would be great if you were there with them. But if it’s your ex that does it, you should know that it’s usually not just that. It carries a message that he thinks about you all the time and wants to share all the moments with you.

Happiness is only real when shared, and you’re the one he wants to share it with. The fact that you’re on his mind when he sees something beautiful shows that you’re still very important to him. You may no longer be together but he surely still has feelings for you and if the time is right, it’s safe to say that he would try to get back together with you.

Getting over someone you once loved so much actually hurts. It’s like forcing yourself to stop caring and loving someone. It also makes you wonder how is the other person doing. Is he still thinking about you? Does he want to get back together with you? These are all questions that we ask ourselves sometimes after a breakup. It gives you another reason to move on faster to know that they already don’t care about you, or gives you a reason to give this another try if they’re still thinking about you.

Whatever it is, the truth is, if you’re determined about moving on, it really shouldn’t matter what he is thinking or doing. You should just work on yourself, regardless of what he thinks. But if you want to give it another go, just that you’re unsure about his feelings, then all the signs above should definitely give you a hint!
