Expert Answer

There are a few practical signs that your ex misses you, like if they tend to keep popping up in your life or you notice them liking your social media posts. Those are the biggest indicators, but it's best to be straightforward and ask someone if you want to know how they're feeling.

Question

My ex blocked me on social media, and I'm still in love with him. Recently he has followed half of my friends on social media. What does that mean?

Community Answer

He may be trying to check up on you through your friends' posts, or he may have a crush on someone else in your friend group. He might also just be hoping they'll follow back to increase his follower count.

Question

What does it mean when your ex wants to be friends?

Community Answer

It means that your ex just didn't think a romantic relationship would work out, but likes you enough that they still want to have some sort of connection with you. Hence the fact that they wanted to stay friends.

Question

My ex said he misses me but doesn't want a relationship. What does this mean?

Community Answer

He misses you, and maybe would like to spend time with you again (e.g., as friends - or maybe a little more, but casually and commitment-free), but doesn't want a relationship.

Why is my ex girlfriend hiding her new relationship with me?

Maybe she doesn't want to hurt your feelings? Or she may want to keep her new relationship and her old relationship as separate as possible.

Community Answer

It could mean that he/she is flirting with you or they could just be trying to make a transition into friendship. If they never flirted with you in that way before, they are likely trying to be friendly.
