They contact you at the weekend or at night

You also need to be aware of when your ex is contacting you. Is their contact mostly at weekends and at night? If this is the case then they are probably missing you. This is when they had spent most of the time with you, so now that you are not around they are feeling lonely. They should also be out at the weekend or busy instead of contacting their ex-girlfriend.

Their contact with you increases

When your ex-boyfriend is trying to test the tide and find out how you feeling, they will try to increase communication with you.

If anything, your ex boyfriend's contact with you should dwindle after breakup, after all they have no reason to keep in touch with you.

They ask you about your social life frequently

They will try to be subtle about it but ultimately you will see that they are trying to figure out if there is someone else on the scene. They don't want to bruise their egos and want to find out in a non-obvious way.

Your ex-boyfriend really shouldn't be interested in your social life. They would be too busy getting on with their own life and leaving you behind if they had truly moved on. The reason that they are enquiring about your activity is because they want to fill in the gaps themselves without asking outright. If they ask you how your weekend was, do you really think they care? They want to see if you offer any information on what you were up to.
