30 Powerful Signs Your Ex Misses You! (WOW!)

It sucks, but about 70% of couples break up in their first year of dating. Which means you’ve probably broken up with someone. Or had someone “dump” you. That’s why when my friend Greg asked, “Ryan, what are signs that your ex misses you?” I felt like I could properly answer that!

While there are signs that you could start to look for today—my ultimate recommendation is to simply talk to the person that you miss. If you are wondering if they miss you—then that means that YOU miss them, yeah?

Well, that’s not really going to get you anywhere. Playing emotional games. These mind games are really bad for progress. It does not exude good and clear communication that helps two people reconnect and stay connected. It also does not build trust.

How to validate the signs you’re seeing…

The best way to validate the signs you’re seeing is to have someone that you can consult. Like an advisor, a family member, or just someone close o you that you can confide in.

This person needs to be someone that you can trust with your inner thoughts. And isn’t going to be someone that you have to question.

Ask them if the signs and things that you’re feeling are valid. Usually, from the lists above, if you have just one of the signs pop up—that might not be enough.

But if you’re seeing two or more signs coming up, then that could be a really strong indicator that you need to look into this.

Try to make sure that you’re eliminating emotion from the picture before you analyze the situation. Make sure you aren’t seeing something that you WANT to be seeing. That could put you into a very vulnerable position and set yourself up for hurt or pain.
