Signs You’re Definitely Over Your Ex

You poor little broken-hearted thing. Going through a breakup pretty much falls right between your dog dying and losing your amazing job on the Sucks-O-Meter. But, as we all know, time (and friends and vodka and cookies) heals all wounds and eventually, you usually get over people.

I said “you will usually get there” for a reason. Most of us carry a torch, even if we do it very quietly, for someone who turned out to be a loser. It’s unfair, but there it is nevertheless. In this case you know that you’re smart, sexy and absolutely awesome, so you have no intention of carrying a torch for this one. Want to know if you’re close to that light at the end of the tunnel? Read on;

1. You hardly ever think to check for his car when you drive past his work these days. And the only reason you drive past his work is because it’s on the most direct route to your parent’s house. No need to go the long way around after all!

2. A really cute stranger asks you if you have a boy/girlfriend and you answer “no” instead of “I just broke up with someone” which is what you’ve been saying for months.

3. Last Tuesday was his Father’s birthday. Today is Friday and you just remembered.

4. You just got a new cell number. He doesn’t have it though because you forgot to give it to him.

5. While out on a date you have to trouble not talking about your ex. His/her name hasn’t even crossed your lips.

6. The last time the two of you went out together, you went to an out of the way country store that you both like and he bought you a scarf. Now, it’s just “your favorite scarf” and nothing more.

7. You used to “swear” that you saw him whenever you went out somewhere. Now he no longer comes into view.

8. You don’t automatically read his horoscope every time you read yours.

9. You no longer visit his Facebook page to look for new photos of him with another woman. You “unfriended” him a few days ago.

10. You’ve started comparing new guys against your own standards rather than comparing them to your ex.
