How to Find Out if Your Ex Still Likes You

Do you have an ex in whom you're still interested, but you're unsure if he's still interested? Follow these steps to see if you can rekindle the lost sparks.

[edit] Steps

  1. Talk to him/her, and if he/she listens to you without interrupting, and makes few comments, he/she may be interested.Also,if he/she talks to you even when he/she is not suppose to be on the phone, he/she probably still likes you and is sacrificing himself/herself just to spend more time with you.
  2. Wear new clothes around him/her and see if he/she makes any comments like 'Nice shirt, is it new?'. Actually, any compliments are good.
  3. Steer the discussion to the subject of your breakup. Does he/she ever say things like, 'What was I thinking?' (referring to the time you guys broke up) or 'Yeah...' or he talks about how "we had good times together" and sounds distracted by remembering the fact you aren't together anymore? If so, then that's a sign he probably still likes you.
  4. See if he calls you a lot just to say hi. This is a sure sign of interest. If he told you he'd call you at a certain time but he doesn't, he might call you at a different time and start explaining why he didn't call you at the time he said he would.
  5. Talk about other guys/gals and see how much interest he takes. If he asks you often who you like or if he gets really quiet, he might be jealous. If he asks your friend questions about who you are interested in now, if you talk about him, or other questions like that, he most likely want you back.
  6. Ask him/her who he likes, and if he doesn't respond, doesn't want to tell you, or immediately changes the subject, it's probably you.
  7. Look at him/her in his eyes, and if he looks back (for more than two seconds), that's another way to tell.
  8. Flirt with him/her, but not too much, and see if he flirts back.


[edit] Tips

  • Don't try too hard to make him like you. You can't make someone like you.
  • Be yourself. Just act like you always did, even before you went out, and when you were going out. Guys don't like their exes changing when they know they're not like that..
  • Be polite.
  • Flirt a little bit, but not too much, or he'll think you're weird.
  • Have a text conversation with him maybe once or twice a week, but not too much, you'll make him/her push away from you.
  • Try to invite him to a group date
  • If he teases you, he may still have feelings for you.
  • If he touches you and plays with you, he definitely has feelings for you still.


[edit] Warnings

  • Always be aware- he/she might just miss the physical connection you two had, and you don't want to be misled.
  • Don't be too straightforward, you'll seem desperate and guys\girls don't like that.
  • Don't use profanity. Especially if you didn't when you went out with them, and it won't seem like you.
  • Don't change too much, he/she already liked you for who you were if they really liked you when you went out.
  • Don't try to hook him/her up with your friends.
  • Don't make up lies to try and make yourself seem like every guy/girl you meet likes you since you two broke up.
  • Don't be mean to him/her.
  • Don't talk about anything bad that happened when you went out with him, it'll make him remember all those bad times, and he won't want to go back out with you if there's a chance to.
  • Just be yourself, don't pretend to be something you're not.
  • Be careful and just be yourself(that is probably why he still likes you)
