There are numerous indicators that suggest there may still be some spark of flame between you and your ex, but of course, these indicators vary based on the level of interactivity there is between you and your ex.
By interactivity, I mean seeing one another and even talking to one another. And interactivity doesn’t have to be between you and your ex, it could be between your ex and a friend, or family member or even co-worker, etc.
Those with lingering feelings for their ex may do some things that most would feel to be a little nosey. For example, it’s common for a person to use a mutual friend or acquaintance as a “way back in” to a relationship, or as a way to see how the other person is doing.
An example of this might be when you find that your ex called your Mother, Father, sibling or friend of to chit-chat. Typically these chit-chats find their way to talking about your life, current dating situation, or just to see how you’re the break up.
This tactic is a little on the sneaky side, and if you hear of your ex doing it, there’s a chance they may still have feelings for you. And don’t forget, this tactic isn’t always as obvious as a phone call. Sometimes an ex partner may conveniently run into a mutual friend at school or work, and then start the conversation. This is a much stealthier approach.
Having feelings for an ex isn’t a bad thing. If the relationship had true love between the two of you, then you may always have feelings for your ex. There’s no easy way to turn them on and off.
If you find your ex still has feelings for you, and you still have feelings for them, maybe you should both give your relationship another try and see what caused the failure. I was in this situation and found a way to win back my ex.
