If you just got over a breakup, one of the biggest questions you may have is whether your ex still has feelings for you.
 And that's perfectly understandable; after all, you likely still have very strong feelings for him/her.
 But is it really possible to pick up on signs your ex wants you back?    The good news is that it's definitely possible to read the very subtle hints that your ex may be throwing your way.
 The not so good news is that these signs may be very obscure and fuzzy at times.
 Here are five strong signs that your ex wants you back:   Sign #1.
They seem to turn up unexpectedly at social gatherings or in public.
 While this may be a coincidence, it's also very likely that your ex is planning these outings in order to "accidentally" bump into you.
  Sign #2.
You catch them staring at you in public when they think you aren't looking.
 If you do turn their way and catch them, they'll turn away abruptly as if nothing is going on.
  Sign #3.
When meeting you, they are suddenly bursting with happiness.
 This will be very noticeable as your ex will go from zero to sixty on the happiness scale within seconds.
 If they weren't interested, you'd get no reaction - or a negative reaction.
  Sign #4.
You hear through common friends that your ex is asking about you.
 Again, if they didn't care, they wouldn't be asking.
 The fact that they're interested in what you're doing and how your life is going, speaks volumes.
 Keep your ears open for this.
  Sign #5.
They still maintain close contact with your friends and family.
 Even though you have split up, they still value these friendships and you see no difference in how they get along.
 This is a very strong indication that they haven't quite given up on you yet.
 While it would be easy to break off contact, they may be trying to show you that they still want to be involved in your life.
This is one of the biggest signs your ex wants you back.
