Why would an ex ask if you are dating?

One reason being they’re wondering if you’ve moved on from them, maybe a bit of missing you or jealousy came into play. The second reason could be because they are just curious and catching up on causal conversation as would a “friend” but due to the circumstances deciphering the reasoning could be difficult.

What do you say when your ex asks how you are?

“Hey, it’s nice to hear from you. I’m still working through things for myself and need some more time. I’ll message you soon. Hope you’re doing okay.”

What if your ex is dating someone else?

No matter how in love with his new partner your ex is, remind yourself that they’re not trying to replace you or reproduce what you two had. The most important thing to remember when it comes to coping with your ex dating someone else is that this new relationship is not a reflection of you or your relationship.

Is it okay to ask an ex how they are doing?

If you and your ex cut all ties, even mutual friends, and many months have passed and you’re truly clueless as to what’s going on in their life, then it’s OK to send a casual text asking them how they are. But only if it’s out of genuine concern and not because you want to start something back up again… or gloat.

Should you respond to an ex?

It is definitely OK not to respond to ex. In fact, in many circumstances, you might find that you shouldn’t text back. If you find yourself in a situation where the only thing you can gain from communication with an ex is short-term validation, it’s likely not worth it, especially if the wounds are still new and fresh.

How do you know if your ex is happy with someone else?

Noticing Changes in Communication. Notice if they ignore your phone calls. When you call your ex, notice whether they answer the phone or send you to voicemail. If they are regularly ignoring your phone calls (especially if this is a new behavior), this could be sign they’ve fallen for someone else.
