About This Quiz
Break-ups are hard, especially when your ex is still in your life. Letting go of someone is a lot of work, and if you have to see your ex at social events or around town, it may feel like you'll never be over him. Perhaps you're wondering if there's a reason for that. Are you asking yourself if you made a mistake? Have you been wondering whether you two are actually meant to be together?
Or maybe you're in a very different situation, where your ex is still in your life because he's always writing you emails or DMs. You're not sure why he's doing that, and you want answers. Is he trying to get back together with you, or does he just want to maintain your friendship? Should you keep hanging out with him, or would telling him to leave you alone be better for you in the long run?
Whether you're entirely out of contact with your ex or are seeing him every day, this quiz can help you figure out what's going on with him. We've come up with a list of questions that will diagnose his true intentions toward you, which we will reveal at the end of the quiz (along with some advice about what you should do about it.) If you're tired of wondering what he's thinking, please take this quiz immediately!
