25 Signs That Your Ex-Girlfriend Has Moved On

1. She Goes On Dates

If you find out that your previous partner has started dating again, it’s an obvious clue that she’s moving on. Whether she chooses to inform you about her dates or not, her action shows that she’s ready to embrace the future and not dwell in the past. 

After a breakup, an ex will feel like meeting new people when they’ve handled their unresolved emotions. This process can take a few months, and even though they try to go on dates before their healing stage, they won’t be able to keep a relationship. On the contrary, when she’s handling the process well, you can tell she’s moving on.

2. She Has A New Boyfriend

One of the most obvious signs that your ex-girlfriend has moved on is when she’s in a new relationship; one that looks more than casual. If your ex were still hoping to get back together with you, it would be hard for her to enter a relationship with someone new. She wouldn’t want to start developing feelings for another person. 

Therefore, she would keep herself out of the dating world for a while. On the contrary, being in a new relationship shows that she has moved past the grieving stage and is ready to love someone again. This action serves as the best way to know when an ex no longer misses you.

3. She Doesn’t Want To Hang Out

If an ex still cares about you or misses you, it will be hard to resist spending some time with you. They’ll accept your offer for a casual meetup, as long as they can be around you for a period. On the contrary, you can tell your ex is slowly moving on when she doesn’t want to be with you for any reason. 

Even though it’s somewhat essential to meet up with you, your ex would rather look for an alternative than spend some time with you. There’s no longer any desire to be around you, and these are signs that your ex-girlfriend no longer has feelings for you.

4. She Has A New Appearance

If your previous girlfriend has switched up her appearance since the breakup, it’s an indication that she has marched on. While dating you, your ex inevitably had a significant style or dress sense you could identify. 

If most of those things have either improved or changed entirely, like a new hairstyle or new clothes, it’s a sign that she has moved on. Not only is your previous partner now embracing her new life without you, but she’s also trying her best to leave the past behind. Making an effort to look different identifies her zeal to prepare for the future and whatsoever it has to offer.

5. She No Longer Flirts With You

If conversations with your ex are rigid, unexciting, and only have single-line responses, you can tell that she’s not excited talking to you. More so, if she’s no longer flirting with you, or trying to impress you during conversations, it’s one of the signs your ex-girlfriend has moved on. 

Usually, there’s a sense of familiarity between an ex-boyfriend and an ex-girlfriend. Flirting happens when they’re catching up with one another, and they can be free around themselves. However, when things seem official between you and your previous partner, it’s a sign that she has marched on, and is no longer familiar with that past life.

6. She Told You She Doesn’t Have Feelings Anymore

Another primary way you can tell that a previous partner has gotten over you is when she outright tells you. If she confesses that she doesn’t have feelings for you anymore, she has most likely moved on. Usually, when an ex is still trying to stick around you, they would avoid telling you that their feelings have faded. 

If your previous partner has made this statement, it’s a sign that she’s no longer trying to be close to you. Plus, she’s no longer hoping for you to come back, your ex probably wants to move on and see what the future holds.

Her advice shows that she doesn’t want you to be hung up on her either. Your ex wants you to move on in the same manner that she’s trying to.

8. She No Longer Talks About You

If mutual friends of your previous partner confess that she no longer talks about you to them, it’s one of the signs your ex is moving on. Speaking accompanies the grieving stage, where the breakup parties seek closure for the separation. 

They’ll talk about how they feel, and the current status of either their ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. When this process no longer happens, it’s a sign they’re slowly leaving the grieving stage. They’re not ready to face the future and live their life. Therefore, if you find out that your previous girlfriend is no longer talking about you, it means she’s moving on.

If you and your previous partner had a fantastic relationship, it’s likely that both her friends and yours will wish for both of you to get back together. This action might prolong for a period, especially if you and your previous partner are getting along once again.
