It’s not always easy to figure out whether or not your ex still loves you. In fact, sometimes it seems just about impossible.
When you are in love with someone, it’s seriously the most amazing feeling in the world. When you are in love, you feel like you are floating on the clouds. Too bad that more often than not, crap hits the fan in relationships, differences get exploited, and two people that were once in love, part.
Let’s look at the solid signals your ex partner still loves you.
Before you head down this path, make sure you take the time to figure out if you truly want your ex back for all the right reasons. Not because you are afraid of being alone or you just don’t want them to be with someone else.
You get what I’m saying.
31 Signs Your Ex Still Loves You

If you know that your ex is following you online, the chances are pretty good he’s still into you. Why else would he be showing you that he is watching what you are up to?

This means your ex wants to listen to your voice but just doesn’t want you to know they are calling you. Perhaps for fear of rejection?

Chances are they are probably trying to show you they are set to turn over a new leaf. Maybe they want you to see they have changed and put it in your brain they still want to be with you.

This might just be a sign that you both are still hanging out in the same spots. However, either one of you can change that if you like. Think about this one for a minute. You’ll figure it out.
9. Your ex likes to talk about the good times with you
When they do this, the plan is likely to try and convince you to have a change of heart. You need to think first about what you want and not focus on the fact your ex might still love you.
10. If your ex is lying about having another partner, you better take it into consideration
When an ex is talking about the new excitement in their life, they are signalling to you loud and clear that you are still on their mind, they are trying to show off to you for all the wrong reasons.
11. When you get together, they are crazy touchy-feely
This just shows you they want to still be close to you. A solid sign they are still in love with you.
12. When you are upset, your ex is the first to try and make you feel better
Not sure whether they are trying to take advantage of you in a weak moment or not, but if you see this signal, it means they are still into you. They care about you and perhaps that’s love?
13. Your ex is texting you
If you ex is texting you, it means you are still in their head and that might mean they still love you inside out. Just remember, this may not be for the right reasons. You’ve got to take action to get to the bottom of this one, if you’re going to end up with what you want.
14. They ring you about the special moments
When your ex is calling you just to talk about those special moments in your life, that’s gotta mean something. Give your head a shake please.
15. Love quotes are coming your way
If your ex is opening their heart to you, chances are pretty good they still love you. They just want you to know they are thinking about you and they still want to be with you.
16. You’re getting the drunk text messages
If your ex is drunk texting or calling you, this means they are totally still into you. They are missing you and probably still love you. Take action or don’t with this one.
17. Moving on just isn’t an option
When your ex lets you know they don’t want to move on and aren’t going to move on, this signals to you they are still in love with your company. When your ex just isn’t interested in meeting other people, they are shouting to you loud and clear you are still it.
18. They are asking the tough questions about your current love life
A curious ex is an ex that’s still in love with you. When they show a keen interest in who you are with and what you are up to, this is a not-so-subtle sign they want you back. Something to ponder if that’s what you want too.
19. Your ex has crazy extreme emotions for you
If your ex can only go extreme in the emotions department with you, this also tells you they are still in love with you. One minute they might hate you with a vengeance and the next, they could be swearing their undying love for you. Be careful here please. This is one of the stronger signals that your ex still loves you.
All you have to do is figure out whether or not you want the same.
20. Your ex isn’t willingly giving you all your stuff back
If your ex is hanging onto your personal belongings, this could signal they are still trying to hang onto you. Maybe they think you will change your mind if you see they still want your stuff?
21. They are telling you they really miss your company
This one is a no-brainer. If your ex steps into the light and tells you they miss you, it means without a doubt they are still in love with you. End of story.
22. Your ex is feeling negative emotion
Indifference is the opposite of love, not hate. When your ex is hurt, they are going to say mean things. They are blaming their hurt and emotional mess on you.
Nobody plans on investing their emotions into someone only to have it not work out. But it does happen and you’ve got to deal with it.
What you should do is give your ex a little space when the negative crap is flying. You only control your feelings and actions, not theirs. In time, they will get past this and what you need to understand is, they are doing this because they love and miss you.
23. Competition is in the house
If your ex is trying to make you jealous by making sure you know they are having fun with another, you know they are still into you. They might go overboard with the flirting when you can see, and another trick is to make sure you see them out and about via social media, having fun without you.
When your ex does this, it means they are still thinking about you. Whether they are still in love with you or not is another story.
24. Push-pull in full force
When your ex is freakishly cold one minute and super hot the next, this means you are in their brain and what you do with that is totally up to you. They might push you away and then suddenly want to spend time with you just because.
Truth be told, this is very confusing.
They might suddenly stop replying to your text messages and then suddenly start calling you like there’s no tomorrow.
What you need to do is stay cool and don’t let their craziness get to you. Please don’t reward their cold behaviour by giving them your undivided attention.
25. Tracking you down during the no contract rule
This one is a rock solid signal that your ex still loves you. When they are making contact with you during your “no contact” time, they definitely still love you.
Make sure you don’t pick up the phone or respond to them at all. Prove to yourself and to them that you don’t need them to control you emotionally. Yes, it’s hard but in the end you will be better for it.
When you show them you aren’t a needy person, they are going to realize you are so much more to them. They are already missing you and for certain they still love you.
26. Pay attention as to whether or not your ex seems to always be around you
If your ex seems to always be around you, chances are they are still head over heels for you.
If they happen to always show up wherever you are, just by coincidence of course, they are obviously still thinking about you. If he or she is totally going out of their way to make sure they can converse with you, then you better accept the fact they are still into you.
27. Are they still staying in touch with you on numerous levels?
If your ex is still contacting you on a regular basis via email, phone calls, text message or in person, then you are still in their brain. Pay attention and be wary please. You want this to happen for the right reasons.
28. Pay attention to their reaction when they see you
Does your ex light up when they see you? Are they still trying to sneak glances at you when you are in the same room? If they are still totally looking at you any chance they can get, you can be rest assured they still love you.
29. Figure out whether or not your ex is still in communication with your family
When two people split for good, they make certain they cut as many emotional ties as possible. That said, if your ex is still talking or texting with your family, this means they still have a heart for you.
If they didn’t really care, they would toss your family to the wind.
30. Open your ears to what your friends are saying
Listen to what your friends are saying. If they are constantly talking about how your ex is asking about you and wondering what you are up to, you can translate that into your ex wanting you back.
Again, if they didn’t care about you, they definitely wouldn’t inquire or ask.
31. Is your ex totally pissed after your breakup?
If your ex is carrying their anger towards you long after your split, they definitely still have the hots for you. If they are looking out for you, their actions are screaming out loud that they can’t get you out of their mind.
This means they still love you.
You’ve Got To Figure Out What To Do…
Take the time to figure out what went haywire
Your ex may have given you a totally lame excuse as to why your relationship isn’t working. It really doesn’t matter because if you want it to work, you have to determine what went wrong in the first place.
If you aren’t will to go in and dig deep to fix the problem or issues, then it will never work no matter how much your ex still loves you.
Cease your panic mode
No matter what, you should chill for at least a couple months before you even entertain the thought of getting back together with your ex. If you believe you just can’t live without your ex, then you’ve got a heck of a lot of work to do on you.
Don’t panic please. That just makes you look crazy desperate and that is a total turnoff.
Figure out who you were and get back to that.
Envision yourself moving on and becoming stronger, happier. You can be all you want to be and you do not need your ex to do that. Understand that and the magic will start happening.
Find your past life before you decide to go back to your ex
Commit to getting some exercise so you can release stress and feel good about yourself. This will help you appreciate you and the life you have. Self-confidence is essential in any healthy relationship and you need to make sure you have it before you think of accepting your ex back, because they love you.
Understand you are important and you should make every effort you can to make sure you look your best. Go get a new haircut and get your nails done. Just figure our what you can do for you to make yourself smile and you are ahead of the crowd.
So What Should You Do If You Clearly Want To Reunite:
This is a tough one but why not mail him an old-fashioned letter?
Sometimes we get so caught up in our crazy world of technology that a snail mail letter is the key to special. Exactly what you need to show your ex, you are super serious about getting back together.
On that note, if it was you that screwed up the relationship ,you need to open up and apologize. Make sure you are specific about your plans to change.
Understand it may take a little time for them to respond
This is totally normal. If your ex gives you a pleasant response, the ball’s in your court for the next move. If on the other hand, they don’t give you a reply, you need to understand it’s time for you to move on far and fast.
This will sting but it’s the right thing to do.
Try asking your ex out for a beverage
You seriously want to keep it low-key. Make sure you catch up first before you get into anything more serious. What you are clearly trying to do is figure out whether you’ve still got that essential emotional chemistry you need to make it work.
If it’s not there, you need to walk away. If it’s still there, well, that’s a whole different story.
Hook up and talk about what went wrong
This one is a heck of a lot easier said than done. You need to tell your ex the truth here when you are discussing what went wrong. If you were wrong, say you’re sorry and you want to do better.
If you want any relationship to work, you must have amazing communication. Need I say more?
Steer clear of living your old relationship
This is a really bad move. Don’t ever try to create what you once had. It’s broken and gone. You might have a chance if you agree to make new. Build something stronger and better with what you have learned about each other.
You can, if you want.
It’s your choice.
How Should You Handle It If Your Ex Wants You But You Aren’t Interested:
Be clear
You are a sneaky loser if you let your ex think you want them back when you really don’t. That’s just plain cruel. If you don’t want them, make sure you tell them.
How about some revenge?
The best route to do this is to cut them loose and make sure you make yourself more beautiful than ever. This means dressing to drop dead status, getting your nails and hair done, and don’t be afraid to hit the gym and get buff.
When you are looking and feeling fantastic, you’re going to make your ex cry.
Take control of your resolve
It’s natural to feel a little jealousy when your ex gets a new fling. What you need to do is forget all that and focus on yourself. Bottom line is, you deserve.
Understand reality
You might want to hook up with your ex but any healthy relationship is a two way street. If they don’t want to give you their heart and soul, you need to kick them to the curb no matter how much it hurts.
You deserve exactly what you want. When you accept this, you will have everything.
Final Words
When you are looking for signs your ex still loves you, it’s sort of like a crapshoot. In other words, dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t!
Pay attention to the clues in front of you and use these expert tips, pinky swear promise you will figure it out.
Best of luck!
