Q&A for How to Find Out if Your Ex Still Likes You

If she's in a new relationship, it's best to keep your distance until that relationship resolves itself. You'll have a better chance of making things work if she ends that relationship before the two of you start trying to patch things up. If it's meant to be, things will work out.

First, it's never okay for someone to demand that you change. When it comes to change, always listen to yourself and do what feels right to you. Second, if they've moved on, it's probably best that you try to move on, as well. At first, it might be hard to look past the feelings you had for this person, and they might feel so perfect for you that you get hung up on them. However, relationships end for a reason, and it's likely that there's someone better for you out there. Spend more time having fun with friends or family so you can start to move on.

Show him that you're happy and living your best life. Hang out with friends and family, go do fun stuff, and work towards a goal you have (like trying out for a sports team, winning a tournament, or learning to paint). If there's a chance things will work out between you, he'll see how great you're doing and realize that he might have lost a good partner.

It's tough to tell in this case. It's possible that he's still interested, but it's also possible that he's sending mixed signals. Look for other signs that he still likes you, such as showing up places he knows you'll be and liking all your social media posts.

It might mean he likes you, but he may also just be noticing that you're there. Look at his other behaviors to see if he might like you.

It's possible that your ex still likes you but is going through something right now that makes him feel like he's not ready to be in a relationship. You might try talking to him so he knows you care about him but are giving him the space he needs. Say something like, "I didn't mean to upset you when I gave you back your things. I liked the gifts but thought you might want them back because you broke up with me."

There's no way to know for sure if he still likes you, but his behavior right now suggests that he needs space. That might hurt a lot, but this breakup might open the door for something better in the future. Right now, spend more time with your friends or family so you can feel better and have some fun.

He might be feeling upset about the breakup, or he may think that flirting with her will impress his friends. His behavior is unfair to you, though. Try to ignore what he's doing and focus on your happiness.

Try keeping it simple. Just say, "I still like you, too." If you're shy, try texting him or messaging him through social media.

It depends on the situation. Suppose he's been making minimal to no contact with you in that he doesn't talk about you to friends or interact with you in any way, then he's likely moved on. That said, if he makes an effort to reach out to you and often talks about your past relationship, he might still have feelings for you.

In this case, giving your ex some space is probably best. There might be an opportunity to speak with your ex about your past together once he's been able to process his emotions, but it sounds like he hasn't been able to do so yet, which may be making him nervous and uncomfortable in this situation.

The best thing to do here might be to give your ex some space. After he's had time to cool down, you could text him explaining yourself and assure him that you won't be acting that way again, if that's true, and that you want to make it work. This will allow him to consider what you have to say without the pressure of responding in person.

If you feel that he still loves you and is showing positive body language, like prolonged eye contact, you could text him and let him know that you miss his friendship if you're looking to bring him back into your life. Starting up as friends keeps things neutral, then you can hang out in person and talk about the state of your relationship.
