Are you dating a new guy who had a not too distant breakup which has you wondering if there are ways to tell he is over his ex? Yes girlfriend, assuming he’s not a sociopath, there are definitely tell-tale signs to pick up on where you can determine that he’s definitely so over his ex-girlfriend! So what are you waiting for, let’s put our heads together so we can get to the bottom of this mystery!
1.Flying Solo
One of the surest ways to tell if he is over his ex is if he labels himself as a single man. He says he’s single, his Facebook status is single and his friends refer to him as single. Any guy who isn’t over his ex will be hesitant to volunteer this information and not be open to that topic since he’s still holding on to hope that they’ll reunite.
2. Meet and Greet
Another way to tell he’s over his ex is if you’ve met his friends and if you’ve met his family-even better! Meeting his friends is probably a huge step for most guys since you meeting them is indicating that you two are dating and what’s-her-name is no longer in the picture. I’m not just talking about meeting his wingman either, if you’ve met his crew, you’re good!
3. Say My Name
Another tactic to tell he’s not into her anymore is if he doesn’t mention her name and better yet, never accidentally calls you by her name either! If a guy is still hung up on his ex, he’ll definitely find ways to work her into the convo one way or another. If he never brings her up either in a positive or negative way, you’re on the right track!
4. Friendly Reminder
A good way to tell he’s over his ex if he doesn’t follow his ex’s Facebook statuses like a lost puppy. There’s nothing wrong with being friends with your ex and if he just posts the occasional greeting here and there, she’s not constantly on his mind. Sometimes, if he un-friends her, it’s more of a sign that he can’t handle any reminders of her…
5. No Name-Calling
One of the surefire ways to tell he is over his ex if he no longer keeps her number in his cell under any pet names or any nasty names. Most guys who are over their ex won’t even keep their ex’s number, but if they have legitimate reasons to contact her, he’ll just have her name under his contacts without any added expletives or lovey-dovey names.
6. Sweet as Sugar
Yet another method to tell he’s over his ex is if he’s emotionally stable and sweet. No rollercoaster of emotions or bouts of anger and jealousy over his ex- he’s sweet, stable and sane. Any signs that he’s still bitter and hurt will soon come to the surface so if he’s stable, you’re golden.
7. He Cleaned His Closet
So, what’s another way to tell he is over his ex? He no longer has any mementos of her, no photos, knick-knacks, cards, etc. He doesn’t have a secret stash of her undies tucked away somewhere and he doesn’t have any of her old belongings lingering at his place. How will you know? The truth will come out eventually and any of her things will stick out.
8. She’s Happy, He’s Happy
Another strong indicator he has moved on is if she’s dating someone new and happy and he’s happy for her. No jealous ex hoping for a reunification is going to be happy for his ex who is happy with someone else. If there are any signs that he’s secretly fuming, you’ll be able to tell quickly.
9. Security Blanket
A good sign that he’s over his ex is if he can introduce you to his ex and make you feel secure. Sometimes, you just run into the people you least want to see, but if you happen to see her, your guy doesn’t make you feel like an awkward child in front of her and introduces you to her proudly!
10. Talk That Talk
Another solid sign that he’s over his ex is if he can talk about his past without getting emotional or shutting down. Anyone who’s still nursing a broken heart will be visibly disturbed by recounting a memory and if he can talk about her or something they did without any issues, he’s so over it!
