When someone breaks up with you, it can be difficult to know what’s going on inside their head.
If you’re wondering whether he still loves you, it may not be too difficult to know.
These are some signs that show that he still cares.
I will also share some of my personal experience to guide you. For those who are still unconvinced, this article will facilitate you in finding out whether he still loves you or not.
Keep an eye out for these, and maybe you’ll be able to get him back!
1) He checks in every once in a while
He may not be checking in as often as he used to, but it’s natural for him to check in every once in a while. This way, he’ll continue to feel connected to you.
When you suddenly received a call from him after you broke up, and you started questioning him about it.
He replied, “I know. I just wanted to check in, but I forgot.”
That’s the sign he still loves you because he wants to reconnect with you.
As if that’s not enough, he also made excuses to ask about you often.
He doesn’t feel the need to ask how you’re doing. He probably does it just to make sure you’re okay because of the breakup.
When he calls you, you can sense his tone of voice. It was warm, loving, and caring.
He’s concerned about your well-being after the breakup. This means he still has feeling for you.
2) Drunk dialing
This one can be a touchy subject. But it’s worth talking about.
Drunk dialing can be shown in many forms.
He may call you just to confirm that you’re okay.
He probably wanted to tell you what he really thinks about the breakup.
And the truth is, he still loved you, but didn’t know how to express it properly so he drank his troubles away, and gained his courage to call you.
Drunk dialing can show how much he still loves you and cares about you.
Even if he’s been rejected over and over again by you, he’s still willing to take the risk of calling you in a drunken state because he’s desperate for contact.
This shows that you mean a lot to him.
Yes. It happens. Some of my friends have experienced it.
If this is something that he’s doing, chances are he probably misses you.
As long as it doesn’t get too bad and you both know how each other feel, this is the perfect way to keep the lines of communication open.
If alcohol has become a way for him to cope with his feelings about you, then this is a sign that he still loves you.
3) He still follows you in social media
If after the breakup, he still follows you on social media like Instagram and Facebook, it’s a good sign he’s still hanging around.
He may not post much on social media, but will check in from time to time.
He might like or react to your posts every now and then.
He might even put a status on his timeline saying “I miss you ” and stop there.
He also follows you on your Instagram account and shows an interest in other pages that you’re active in.
He still loves you because he wants to stay connected with what’s going on in your life.
4) He says things to his friends, family
He might even tell his friends that he misses you and feels lonely without you.
He might also tell them that he feels guilty for breaking up with you because he wouldn’t think that there is anyone who would make him feel the way you did.
He may also say things like, “I was stupid to break up with her, but now everything’s okay.”
Another thing to take note of is how he reacts to your friends or family members telling him that they miss you because they know how bad it could make him feel.
This kind of response shows that he still loves you, and actually cares about how others feel about the situation as well.
5) He stays in touch with your friends and family
You may not know what he’s thinking, but if you ask your friends about him and if they’ve seen him, then it means that he stays in touch with your friends and family.
If he’s not sure if he loves you, he’ll ask your friends and family to see if they have any good news for you.
He may even call your best friends or family members.
He’s not doing this to be nosy. He may just be trying to figure out if he’s over you.
Or if he still wants to get back together with you. He may not have made his mind up yet.
I know the feeling. It’s hard to think clearly when you’re dealing with a breakup.
Don’t be surprised if he told your siblings that he still cares about you even though the two of you already ended your relationship.
He may have even asked your family and friends if they think the two of you can get back together in the future.
If this is his behavior, it shows that you are still important to him.
6) Jealousy
This is what I call a “green flag,” which means, “He still loves you.”
He wants to know that you’re not dating anyone else.
He may get jealous if he sees you talking to other guys, or if he thinks that you’re flirting with other people.
He may even get jealous of the time you spend with your friends or when you went out on a date.
He might be having some regrets about breaking up with you. He might even be wondering if there’s still a chance for the two of you to have another shot at love.
7) He is always sad on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp …
He writes a lot on social media about how he misses you.
He might post things like, “I wish we were still together.”
Or maybe you’ll see things like, “I’m having a bad day because I can’t stop thinking about her.”
He may even post pictures of you two on social media with captions about how much he regrets breaking up with you.
Once the pain has passed, he starts to think about the good things that happened between the two of you, and it makes him want to stay connected to you for a bit longer.
Your past relationship is something special and should be treated as such.
He obviously still loves you.
8) He doesn’t like anyone in a long time
After the breakup, he didn’t really care about anyone new.
He may have been trying to forget about you for a little while.
But after a few months, he realized that he still wanted to be with you.
He doesn’t like anyone else and that isn’t something he can ignore any longer.
And another thing, he keeps talking about how great you are and what you have together. He may also tell himself that he’s doing everything wrong, and he wishes to fix it.
He may ask himself these questions.
For example, “Why can’t she be my girlfriend again? Why did I break up with her?”
That’s all he’s thinking about and this is why he doesn’t want anyone else.
If this is the case, it only means one thing: He still loves you.
9) He seems happy to see you
I mean, this is the thing that you want to know.
When you see him, he looks happy to see you. He always wants to talk to you and have a good time with you.
He might even tell your friends that he’s glad that they reunited you two because now they can hang out as friends again.
He may not act like the same person that you knew before, but he’ll still be happy to see you around.
He can’t seem to be far from you, and always finds chances to interact with you.
This shows that he misses you and wants to be as close as possible to you.
10) He contacts you anytime
If he is in a bad mood, you are the first person that he feels like talking to.
The reason why he contacts you a lot is because he wants to stay connected with you.
He might go on Tinder and swipe right on someone, but then reject them because they’re not you.
When he can’t sleep, he might text you that he misses you.
He may text you just to say “Good Morning” or text you at noon to see if you have eaten.
He still loves you and doesn’t want anyone else in his life right now.
11) He remembers your birthday
He might even send you a little gift for your birthday.
Even if he does not remember it, your friends or family members will remind him about it.
This shows that he still thinks about you even though he doesn’t say much about you.
If he remembers your birthday, then this means that you were very important to him. He wanted you to remember him on your special day.
That’s proof that he still cares a lot and wants to get back together with you.
12) He leaves the door open for reconciliation
After the breakup, you’re free to see other people for a little while.
But if he’s still trying to keep in touch with you, he may be leaving the door open for reconciliation.
Let’s dig a little deeper and look into the reasons why he did this.
He may be afraid that another person will steal you away from him.
After all, he still cares about you.
And he doesn’t want to lose you to someone else.
That’s why he’s trying to make sure the two of you get back together again.
This is a good sign that shows that he’s still interested in getting back with you.
He’s probably waiting for you.
13) He tries to change his personality
He might act differently than he did before the breakup took place, but you still love this new side of him.
He’s trying to be polite and respectful to you so that you can feel good about yourself and want him back in your life.
Maybe he used to ignore you and treat you badly.
Now, he tries to change his bad habits and be a better person.
It’s not easy for him to do this kind of work.
He has probably had this way of talking or thinking for a long time, so it’s difficult to change his personality in a few weeks or months.
It takes him a lot of effort and energy in order to transform himself into the person that you want him to be.
You might want to think about giving him another chance.
14) He tries to get your attention and approval
If he’s not trying to get your approval, then it means that he doesn’t love you anymore.
He will do everything he can so that you notice him and give him a chance to prove himself.
He wants to feel important and needed in your life again.
I have seen this in many couples who have been together for years and then decide to separate.
The man will do anything to get back into the woman’s life, even if it means giving up everything that he knows.
15) He still has some of your stuff
This is another example of how much he misses you. If he still has your stuff, then that means that he’s thinking about you every day.
He may even look at your photos or read your old text messages.
He can’t bring himself to get rid of the memories that you shared together because it’s so precious to him.
When my friend broke up with her boyfriend, he didn’t feel like throwing out her belongings.
Instead, he packed up her things in a box and put them away in a secret place that only he knows about.
So, you can use this as a way to know if he still loves you.
What should you do?
If you’re wondering why your ex still wants to see you or talk to you, it’s probably because he still loves you.
But he doesn’t know how to tell you that. It’s because there are so many things that have been messed up between the two of you.
So, he may be unsure whether it’s really worth getting back with you after the breakup.
It’s a very hard decision for him, and one that will likely make him feel uncomfortable.
How can you make this decision easier for him?
If you’re still interested in getting back together, then show him that you’re still interested too.
You can do this by sending him text messages and asking how his day is going or if he needs anything.
You can also ask to hang out with him. If you feel comfortable enough, this will show that you’re still interested in getting back together with him.
Most importantly, you can’t get back with him right away . You need to give him time to see for himself that he needs you in his life.
If he’s still interested after several months of waiting, then it’s a good sign that he may be ready to get back with you too.
He cares about you.
Conclusion
I know how difficult it is to get over your ex-boyfriend. It takes a lot of time and he’s been an important part of your life for such a long period of time.
However, if he truly loves you, then he will make an effort to be by your side again. If he does not care about you anymore, then it means that it was wrong for you to think that he would change his feelings and start dating you again.
Listen to your heart. You deserve to be happy whether getting back with him or not.
