Article: Your ex will probably try to find reasons to be around you if they're still interested. They might pop up at your job, hang out at your favorite places, and attend events they know you enjoy. Track how often you see your ex to figure out if they might be trying to run into you. If you and your ex both like the same local coffee shop, they might not be there to see you. However, if your ex never had an interest in art before your breakup but shows up at every art opening, they're probably coming in the hopes of running into you. If you're still following them on social media, scroll through their recent postings to see what's going on in their life. Notice if they seem happy or sad. Additionally, see if they appear to have moved on or might be stuck in the past. For instance, a post like, "Really miss the good times I used to have with a certain someone" or "The last few days have been hard" might mean they're thinking about you. On the other hand, if they're posting pics of them with a new partner, they might be moving on. It's normal for your ex to occasionally react to 1 of your posts. However, your ex might still be interested if they're liking most of your posts or going back to like old posts. Track how often they interact with your social media account to see if they might still care about you. For instance, it might not mean anything if your ex likes a post about you getting a new car. However, they probably still like you if they like every photo you post of yourself. If your ex likes old photos of you together, it's very likely that they still like you. When you run into your ex, watch their reaction to see if it's positive, neutral, or negative. Look at their facial expressions and their body language to help you figure out how they feel. For instance, let's say your ex smiles really big and comes over to say, "Hi! How's it going?" This might be a sign they still like you. If they give you a slight wave and say, "Oh, hey," they might feel neutral toward you. In this case, they might just want to be friends. On the other hand, they might have moved on if they frown, move away, or fold their arms in front of their body. When you like someone, it's really hard to resist casually touching them. In fact, this is a common way to flirt! Consider if your ex touches you on your arm, shoulder, back, or legs. This could be a sign that they like you. You might also notice that your ex goes in for a hug whenever you run into each other or after you have a conversation. This might mean they like you. Your ex might be willing to help you out with something if they're still into you. Tell them about a problem that you're having and see if they volunteer to help. Alternatively, ask them to help you with something you know they're good at doing. If they say yes, they might still like you. For example, ask them to help you with a homework assignment or ask them to help you host a party for a mutual friend. If your ex is super friendly and helpful, they might do you the favor even if they don't like you. Normally, you give each other back your personal belongings after a break up. If your ex keeps some of your stuff, it might be a sign they still like you. Check to see if you got all of your things back from them. For instance, your ex might keep 1 of your shirts so they can smell your scent. Similarly, they might keep an old DVD of a movie you watched together a lot. If the item is valuable, your ex might just be trying to keep it for its value. As an example, don't let them keep your mp3 player. Check your ex's social media accounts to see if they're posting about a new relationship or if they've posted photos with a new partner. Additionally, check with your mutual friends to find out if there's someone new in their life. If they're dating someone else, they're probably focused on the future and their new relationship. In some cases, your ex might post photos of themself with someone else to make you jealous. However, they've likely moved on if they're in another relationship.
