How do you know if your ex-girlfriend is still into you? Do you miss her and want to know if she still has feelings for you too? Or maybe she’s done a few things that have you wondering what her intentions are.
It’s hard to tell what people’s intentions are sometimes. Especially when it comes to a complicated relationship with your ex.
Luckily, there are signs that you can use to tell if she still has feelings for you. Let’s look at how you can tell if your ex still loves you and what to look for to verify her feelings.
Is Your Ex-Girlfriend Still Interested?
Whether you want her to be or not, your ex-girlfriend may still be interested in you. While sometimes you won’t be able to tell for certain, there are a number of ways to verify her feelings.
You could just ask her how she feels. But this can be uncomfortable and sometimes she might not be honest. However, there are signs you can look for that we’ll discuss below that you can use to avoid an awkward conversation.
Does She Still Love You?
Just because an ex wants to know what’s going on with you doesn’t necessarily mean that she still loves you. However, she may show hints of her lingering love in her actions.
How Do You Know If Your Ex-Girlfriend Still Has Feelings For You?
Short of asking your ex if she’s still in love with you, you can judge how she feels from the things she does. If she is consistently showing up in your life, showing you she cares, and giving you indications that she still loves you, you’ll know she still has feelings for you.
What you choose to do with this information is up to you.
Signs Your Ex-Girlfriend Wants to Be With You
While there is no one indicator that will let you know she’s still interested. Your ex-girlfriend may show one or more of these signs that mean she still has feelings for you. Take a look at the list and determine whether or not she has shown any of these signs.
1. She Tells You She Misses You
Some of the clearest signs that your ex girlfriend still loves you will be in what she says to you. If she’s telling you that she misses you, then that means she probably is missing the relationship too.
2. Your Ex Asks For a Second Chance
If she blatantly asks you for a second chance, then she is definitely still interested. Maybe she messed up before and that’s why you called things off.
If she’s really missing you and wants a chance to do better, that means she still loves and cares for you. She’s also willing to admit fault which can be promising for a better future.
3. She Asks Mutual Friends About You
If you have common friends, this is a great way to get information about your ex. Your friends might tell you that she’s been asking questions about you.
This means that she’s still interested in what’s going on in your life. She might be asking questions to gauge whether or not you’ve moved on.
4. She Reminds You of Good Times You Shared
If you were dating for a long time, chances are that you’ve shared some great times together. If your ex girlfriend sends you reminders of those times, she might be wanting to get back with you.
This can look like her texting you something regarding an inside joke, a memory of a trip together, or other details to remind you of the good times. If she’s trying to make you think of how good you had it, she might be trying to rekindle the flame.
5. She Doesn’t Have a New Partner
If your ex still hasn’t gotten into a new relationship, her feelings for you might be holding her back. She may just be taking her time jumping back into the dating game.
However, if you don’t see her with someone new, she might be waiting for you to reach back out.
6. She Starts Rebound Relationships
On the other hand, if your ex jumps into a relationship too quickly, she might be looking for a rebound. We all know that rebounds don’t make for a healthy relationship.
Although seeing her with someone new might make you think she has moved on, that isn’t necessarily true. Sometimes people use rebound relationships as a coverup of their true feelings.
7. She Gives You a Hard Time About Who You’re Dating
If your ex-girlfriend is still into you, seeing you with someone else may bring up some negative emotions for her. She might say negative things about your new relationship or who you’re dating to express this.
8. She Maintains Contact With Your Close Friends
Is she just as close to or closer to your friends now? She might be trying to stay in your circle to maintain contact with you. Inserting herself among her friends might help her feel closer to you and allow her to know what’s going on in your life.
9. Her Body Language Says It All
Pay attention to her body language when you’re around your ex. How she acts toward you physically can tell you a lot.
If she seems receptive toward you, this may indicate she’s still into you. She might do things like touch your shoulder or smile a lot at you.
10. She Contacts You on a Regular Basis
One of the biggest signs that your ex is still interested is if she initiates contact with you all of the time. This shows that she is thinking of you often.
While it’s possible for people to remain friends and talk after a breakup, it’s not the norm. So, if she’s making a lot of phone calls and texting you, she’s probably still in love with you.
11. She Flaunts Her New Love Interest
If your ex is purposely rubbing her new relationship in your face, then she might be using this new guy to make you jealous. Her attempts to make you jealous are obvious signs of her continued interest in you.
12. She Interacts With All of Your Social Media Posts
If your ex is all over you social media posts with likes and comments, then she might be trying to get your attention. This is an easy way for her to make you see her name and think about her often.
So if she’s showing up and watching all of your stories and interacting with your social accounts, she might be trying to let you know she still wants you.
13. She Drops Subtle Hints That She Wants You
There may be more subtle signs that she wants to get back together with you. She might give you little hints like joking about getting back together or sending you reminders of how good your past relationship was.
This could be something as small as sending you a picture she came across of you two when you were dating.
14. You Have a Gut Feeling
Sometimes you just have to go with your gut. Maybe you haven’t noticed a clear sign that she still has romantic feelings for you. But, for some reason, you just know it in your heart.
If you have a gut feeling that she still loves you, you might be right. You’ll have to ask her to know for sure, but you can use this intuition as a sign that she’s interested.
15. She Always Wishes You a Happy Birthday
Have you been apart for years? But your ex never misses the chance to wish you a happy birthday?
If so, she might still be in love with you. Most exes don’t wish each other happy birthday unless they split on good terms and have remained friends. If you haven’t maintained a relationship otherwise, she might be into and using your birthday as an excuse to talk to you.
16. She’s Not Making Future Plans
If you’re still in contact with your ex, you might know what’s going on in her life. It may seem like she’s putting her life on hold and not really moving forward.
When she doesn’t make future plans, this might mean she’s waiting to see what happens with you. After all, she doesn’t want to be unavailable if you’re still interested in her too.
17. Your Ex Frequents Your Favorite Spots
Do you have a favorite restaurant, bar, or other hang out spot that you keep seeing your ex at? She might be frequenting places you go just for the chance to run into you. This is a good sign that she still has feelings for you.
18. She Hates That You Blocked Her on Social Media
If you received a bad reaction from blocking her from your social accounts, this might be because she hates losing access to you. If she tries things like using fake accounts to spy on you, you know that she still needs to know what you have going on.

21. She Maintains Contact With Your Family
A lot of people cut ties with their ex’s family once the relationship ends. If she is trying to maintain relationships with your family members, she might have hopes for a future with you.

Your ex-girlfriend might be making it really hard for you to have a clean break. This can look like her starting arguments with you, bringing up things from the past, and always continuing the breakup conversation.
