How do I know if my ex is thinking about me?

This isn’t the right question to ask yourself. Why do you care? Why do you need to know? Most of the times, there’s a good reason why you’re not together anymore. You don’t need to beat yourself over it, but you need to accept and move on. If you wonder what the other thinks about you, you are not moving forward. You can never truly know what anyone thinks or feels about you, so there’s no point in wondering about it. Trust your feelings about this person and believe in yourself, that’s the most that you can do, push comes to shove.

You never really will. As unfortunate as it is, life isn't like a story where every plot and narrative has a climax or wraps up into a conclusive ending. There's many things we'll never know in our lives, from understanding how things work, to how people act and think about us, to where we're going or what'll happen to us. That's might seem pretty scary, not really knowing or controlling a lot, but the one thing that we can know and control is ourselves, whether it's how you react, treat others and yourself, what you think about people and ourselves. We will never have most of the answers in life and have a lot of control, but that's okay because you can know and control yourself in situations.

Darling, if you still wanna know if your ex is still thinking about you or not, it's better to not call him ex, and jump into the conclusion of one- sided love. When we leave behind somethings in our life, its for better always and when we do so, we learn. Now the question is what do we learn? We learn how to live alone rather than living in confusion or accepting rejection, similarly when we call someone ''ex" that means we left because of so many reasons, otherwise who said breaking a relationship is easy? When you think about this probably your ex is settling down with another one. Accept the truth and move on that is life, accept setbacks and build your base with them. Learn lessons and do not open a closed chapter, do not waste your time by thinking these and darl going back to the same person wont give you a different conclusion. Regards and Love.

The truth is, we don't know. We don't know when anyone is thinking about us but we inquire about it. If you feel that your ex loved you and the breakup was a strain, chances are that person thinks about you. Anyone you have in your life will think about you. You shouldn't let the thought of your ex think about you prevent you from moving forward. If that person really and truly loved you, they will appear in your life in due time. If you think you ex is thinking about you, you are probably thinking about them too, and that is okay. Don't let your mind prevent you from moving on, that person will come back if it is what is right for them and you.

He will try to get in contact with you or somehow strike a conversation with you. Or you'll be hearing his friends talking about you (don't depend on this too much though).

The honest answer is you don't. :) But you may be able to know if he talks to his friends about you, if he mentions you a lot, the way he acts around you although be careful not to over analyze how he acts around you. He could really be acting in a way that means he is thinking about you or he could just be being himself and you feel he is thinking about you.

If theu are thinking of you they will most likely contact you or turn up to places you usually go in order to get your attention

You could ask her face to face if she still thinks about you or you could try to ask one of her friends. Most people tell their deepest secrets to best friends.

You don't know for sure. But maybe if he's reaching out to you every now and then, that's a surefire way to tell. But whether he is thinking about you with love, you would have to ask him yourself.

I don't think that there is a way to know for sure if and how much your ex is thinking about you. You could invest a lot of time in "researching", asking his/her friends if he/she talks about you, you can try to catch your ex looking at you or spending time near you at school or at work, mayve visiting places that you used to go to together or where he/she knows you spend a lot of time. But I would say that investing all that time isn't worth it. That way, you'll never get over your ex and your efforts to spy on him/her probably won't go unnoticed and that could be embarrassing. So my advice is to either approach your ex and say that you want to get back together if that's your reason behind your question or try to get over him/her by avoiding any contact :)
