obsession.
4. See them only in the role of a generic boyfriend/girlfriend.
Dreaming of your ex? This doesn’t necessarily mean you’re still in love. Dreams are open to interpretation. In fact, an ex can appear for a variety of reasons.
For starters, it takes time to move on. You could be fantasizing about your ex simply because you miss what you had and want companionship.
Other times, it could simply be your body’s way of detoxing—because old habits are hard to break.
In order to know the difference, you’ll need to break down the context in which you’re seeing your ex. If the situation is more generic, chances are you miss the idea of having a boyfriend/girlfriend—not your ex themselves.

5. Get a stronger reaction from a post on social media than when you see your ex #IRL (in real life).
The grass always looks greener on Facebook. While it’s easy to get caught up in “ooey gooey” feelings scrolling through pics and posts, if you get a stronger reaction over your ex posting an image via Instagram than when/if you see them in person, keep it moving. This is a telltale sign you may just be infatuated with the thought of being in a relationship.
