Human feelings are not bubbles. One tiny prick is not enough to make a person get rid of all feelings completely. After a breakup, there are residual emotions is a person, such as bitterness, regret and sometimes, love. Just because you've fallen apart doesn't mean your ex doesn't feel a thing for you anymore. It may not necessarily be love, but is these still the faintest interest? Find out by looking for these tell-tale signs.

He/she tries is too desperate to move on. If moving on doesn't come easy, then realize that it isn't whole-hearted. There is most likely still a part of your ex that wants you, and that's exactly why they're trying too hard to forget. Is he or she acting weird when you're around, running away, or hiding on purpose?

He or she may not feel ready to face you, but if they didn't feel for you at all, why would they care if you saw them? Is he or she drowning in alcohol and has not showered in days? Why would there be a massive set-back in his or her routine if they didn't care about you and your separation? They may not want you to see how desperate they are, but you'll see these signs anyway.

He/she is overly concerned about you. Couples ask each other how their day went, and they look out for one another in general. If your ex still shows concern for you by asking you simple questions like "Have you eaten?" or by giving you little tips like "You really shouldn't work so hard, you'd exhaust yourself", they're still thinking about your welfare and still care for you deep inside.

He/she tries too over-impress you. An ex knows that because you're broken up, they no longer have say on what you can or cannot do, especially dating other people. What they can do, is always make themselves a step ahead against all other people you meet, so that you never have to look elsewhere. If he's working out a little harder, and she's wearing more of the clothes you liked, ask no more. They are obviously trying to get on your good side.

He/she gets disappointed with your absence. They call you and they get your machine, and it affects them a lot. They see you and you don't seem excited to bump into them, and they replay the events in their heads and wallow in humiliation.

If your ex doesn't care anymore, they wouldn't bother feeling negativity over your absence or lack of attention to them. But subconsciously, when your ex still likes you, he or she depends on that one look, one call, one text message from you, to give them the slightest of hopes.

How To Act In Front Of Your Ex? Learn the Right Way to Act Before You End Up Scaring Them Away

Muhammad Ali always liked to boast that he floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee. Likewise with love, you initially have those nervous butterflies every time you see that special somebody but eventually you always end up getting stung. Even though you hurt, you should follow these tips on how to act in front of your ex.

Step 1: Be Civil: You don't want to be like Muhammad Ali and throw the gloves on the minute your ex walks in the room. First, they'll never want to get back with you if they repeatedly get black eyes in your company or second, they just simply might not be worth it and you shouldn't risk breaking a nail on their nose.

Step 2: Behaved: This goes beyond just refraining from challenging your ex to an extreme street fight, you also shouldn't drown a quart of moonshine just because they're in the same place as you. If you act drunk or rowdy, it looks as if you can't get over them and there's a better chance words you don't want will exit your mouth.

Step 3: Cozy But Not Engulfed: The ship has sailed on dating your ex and now you have a new man. As much as you'd love to rub it in to the guy that hurt you by playing tonsil tennis with your new guy, try and refrain. This will make it appear you're just trying to kick a man when he's down and the crowd will turn on you because they always root for the underdog.

Step 4: Unfazed: Going through a breakup is a chess match of control. You'll appear to be Kasparov if you act unfazed when your ex is around. You can call checkmate if you are cool enough to say hi and chat for a bit but quickly move on to the next crowd so you don't look like a hanger-on.

Step 5: Like They're Your Ex: It pretty much goes without saying that you shouldn't walk up to your ex and French kiss them the next time you see them out. On the same token, you also shouldn't act colder than a Siberian winter because this is somebody you spent part of your life on. Meet somewhere in the middle and it will be smooth for both of you.

Step 6: Cordially: It doesn't hurt anybody to say hello or goodbye or to compliment them on their pea green sweater. By taking initiative and being cordial shows you're in command and call the shots in your own life, single or married.

Step 7: With Respect: All these tips are meant so that you treat not only your ex, but also yourself with respect when seeing them in public. Don't degrade yourself to make them feel jealous and don't totally do the Michael Flatley Riverdance on the heart of somebody that cared for you.
