How To Know That You’re Over Your Ex

You’re broken hearted. Sigh. I sympathize, I really do. You’ve just broken up with someone you really liked, maybe even loved, and you’re bummed. As events go, this rates about as high on the emotion meter as your dog dying and losing your fabulous job. There is light at the end of the tunnel and you will usually get there. It’s a bit of a journey, so take your friends, a bottle of vodka and a large cheesecake on the journey.

I say ‘usually’ because there are still those sad sacks out there who carry a torch forever. But you’re too smart and sexy and generally awesome for that, right? So if you suspect that your grieving process may be nearing an end, here is a list of hints that you just might be over the loser already:

1. As you drive past his office (hey, it was on the way to where you were going, it’s not like you’re going all creepy or anything), and you forgot to check for his car.

2. You say “no” instead of “I just broke up with someone” when a cute stranger asks you if you’re involved with someone.

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

4. You got a new number and forgot to give it to him.

5. You go out on a date and don’t have to stop yourself from talking about your ex.

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 don’t always “swear” you see him whenever you’re out.

8. When you were together you would automatically read his horoscope right after reading your own. Now yours is the only one of interest.

9. You don’t immediately (or at all) check his Facebook for pictures of him and new girls. Because you’ve “unfriended” him.

10. In the months after your break up you would compare new guys to your ex. Now you compare them to your own standards and no one else’s.
