You Know You're Over Your Ex When
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. You drive past his office (you didn't go out of your way, but it WAS on your way) and you didn't check to see if his car was in the parking lot.
2. When a cute stranger asks if you are involved with someone, you say "no", instead of "I just broke up with someone".
3. It was his dad's birthday last Tuesday and you only just now remembered, and it's Friday.
4. You have a new cell phone number and it didn't even occur to you 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. "That scarf you bought at that place when you were with him" is now just "your favorite scarf". No strings attached.
7. You don't always "swear" you see him whenever you're out.
8. When you read your daily horoscope, you don't automatically read his as well.
9. You no longer visit his Facebook page to look for new photos of him with another woman. You "unfriended" him a few days ago.
10. When you meet a new guy now he is measured against your own standards instead being compared to your ex.
