Ready? Here they are:
The Top 10 Signs Your Ex Doesn’t Want You Back
1. He Outright Tells You That You Should Find Someone New
A guy will never do this if he has even the slightest plans to get back together with you.

The only time an ex boyfriend would encourage you to look for someone new is if he knows he’s never getting back together with you, and he wants you to move on.
If he’s said this to you, he either is tired of you trying to get him back or he’s tired of seeing you in pain over not being with him, and he wants you to move on more than anything.
So if he tells you to find someone new – that’s a huge sign he doesn’t want you back.

2. He Never Responds To Your Messages
This depends a little bit on when you broke up, but it’s still not a good sign for your future prospects.

I advise anyone who’s just broken up with their partner to go through a period of “no contact” with him. I think it’s the best way to get perspective on the relationship and know what to do next.
So if it’s only been a couple of weeks since you broke up and he’s incommunicado – it doesn’t necessarily mean he absolutely doesn’t want you back.
But if you’ve been broken up for a lengthy period of time and he’s still ignoring your texts and calls, that’s a very negative sign for any potential future with him.

3. He Always Seems Really Angry At You
This depends on how the relationship ended.
If you cheated on him or did something that really made him upset, it makes sense that he’d be angry with you for a while.
Still, him being angry at you isn’t ideal. It means that he still feels something for you, but if that something is anger then it’s a very bad sign for getting back together.
If he’s holding onto anger and resentment towards you, that’s not going to turn into longing overnight. Chances are, if he can’t talk to you without getting angry, he doesn’t want to get back together with you.

4. He Tells You It’s Not You… It’s Him
If a guy doesn’t want to get back together with his ex, he could come up with any of a million reasons why not.
But when he uses this reason, it very strongly means he doesn’t want to get back together.
Why? Because you have no control over this reason – and he knows it.
When he tells you it’s not you it’s him, what he’s really saying is that he doesn’t want to get back together, and that nothing you could say or do will change his mind.

He’s saying that he’s the reason why you can’t get back together, and that you should stop trying.
So if he’s said that it’s him, not you… it means he doesn’t want to get back together with you.

5. He Doesn’t Flirt With You Even A Little Bit
After a relationship ends, there’s always a degree of intimacy left between you.
After all, you dated each other and had an intimate connection with each other. That doesn’t really go away, and certainly doesn’t go away overnight.
That’s why it’s so common for exes to flirt with each other, and maybe even get back together for a night before breaking up again. The connection is too strong.
So if he doesn’t flirt with you at all (and shuts down your attempts to flirt), it means he’s trying to erase any sort of intimacy and connection between you.

And the biggest reason a guy would do that is if he doesn’t want to get back together with you at all.

6. It’s Been A Long Time Since You Broke Up
The longer it’s been, the worse your chances are at getting back together.
You know the phrase “time heals all wounds”? It also means that as time goes on, intense feelings for someone fade.
If you were dating for a while and it’s only been a few weeks or a few months since you broke up – sure, not a lot of time has passed.
But if it’s been a really long time, and there’s no indication that you’re going to get back together – that’s a huge sign that he never intends to get back together with you, and he doesn’t want to.

7. He’s Dating Someone Else
One of the best ways to get over someone is to start dating someone else.
It gets your mind off your ex and fills part of the hole they left in your life with someone new and exciting.
Now, if you just broke up and he’s dating someone new, does that mean you have no chance at getting back together?
No. Lots of guys (and women) will jump into rebound relationships after breaking up… and those usually don’t last (or help them get over their exes).
But if he’s dating someone new and it’s been going on for a while, and it seems more serious than casual… that’s a big sign that he’s over you and doesn’t want to get back together with you.

8. The Trust Between You Is Completely Gone
You can’t have a good relationship without trust. It’s like oxygen – without it the relationship can’t develop and withers away.
So if the trust between you is completely gone, and it’s unlikely that it will come back, it’s a huge block between you and getting back together.
If he doesn’t trust you, he’s not going to want to get back into a relationship with you. It’s as simple as that.
9. He Wants His Stuff Back And Gives You Back Yours
One of the big steps in processing a breakup is getting rid of anything that reminds you of your ex.
If he wants his stuff back from you and he wants to give you back anything you gave him, it’s a big sign that he still has feelings for you… but they’re negative feelings that he doesn’t want to deal with.
It means that he’s trying to get rid of anything that reminds him of you, and that he’s trying to get over you as quickly as possible.
If that’s the case, it’s a big sign he doesn’t want you back.

10. He Turns Down Any Invites To Meet Up
This is another sign that could get mixed up by the no contact rule.
If you recently broke up, he might be trying to follow the no contact rule, which would mean that he would definitely turn down any offers to meet up or spend time together.
But if it’s been a while since you broke up and he still has no interest in hanging out or spending time together, that’s a big sign that he wants to move on with his life… without you in it.
So if he turns down any invites to hang out, it usually means that he doesn’t want to get back together.
