My girlfriend an I have been broke up for a while now. When we broke up she said she wanted to be alone, but now I am getting a feeling that she is already dating someone or very close to dating someone just by her actions. Plus a lot of things she said during the breakup are throwing red flags now.
Since it's been a while already (a few weeks) I don't feel it's appropriate for me to straight up ask. it's really none of my business and I get that. However, I'm struggling with letting go. If I knew she had a boyfriend already and lied to me about wanting to be alone, things would be a lot easier to get over.
She doesn't have Facebook and she doesn't update her MySpace. Anyone have any good methods for asking without actually asking straight up? Other ways of finding out?
Update: I don't want to ask her straight up, because like I said it's none of my business. I want to know for my own piece of mind and healing. I don't plan to confront her about it once I find out. I'll let it be.

well like you said it's really not of your business. and so what if she does? Is it going to help you heal faster? Your just going to feel more worse because you know she is with someone else and not with you.
I know how you feel me and my boyfriend broke up for a while too but I'd say it's best just to assume and move on.
unless you really want to get back with her. why hold on? why know? It's only going to just make it more painful and trust me When I found out my other ex had a girlfriend I'd always wish that they break up and sometimes I'd wish misery on them because I myself isn't feeling to happy.
but as for advice do you know any of her friends? you can ask them. maybe she hasn't moved on maybe she's in the process of healing but maybe her healing is doing things her way? .. ...there can be may reasons but if you know people she knows you can always ask them? .. what sort of red flags if you don't mind me asking? and for her to not want to talk to you-It's just a way for her to heal. ..
maybe the reason she wanted to break up was because she liked someone else and she didn't want to make you feel bad or like someone else was better for her than you. or she's just flirting with every guy to get you jealous. I'm not embarased to say that's what I do sometimes...even if I broke up with the guy I wouldn't mind showing him that guys want me. hope I heeelpd
Hey.. well honestly I think that you are holding on to hope of getting back with her. Realistically it should not matter to you what she is doing now, or what ulterior motives she had for breaking up with you. The point is, you need to move on. What if she's not dating anyone?.. You;re going to have that much more of a reason to not let her go. Honestly as harsh as this sounds.. "out of sight and out of mind". Remove all things that remind you of her, delete her off msn.. everything.. it is CRITICAL that you just block her out of your life for the time being. It's impossible to get over someone when you are always bombarded by their MySpace. DELETE DELETE DELETE! Unfortunately time is the thing that's going to heal your heart, but in the mean time, take this time to work out hardcore and look the best you've ever looked.. trust me.. as soon as you start getting attention from other girls, you're going to realize it;s going to be ok. So.. get buff and keep busy and before you know it.. your confidence is going to go up, and your ex is going to be the last thing you're worrying about ;)
You need to let this go. Telling someone that you just want to be alone when you break up is just one of many ways of trying to break up without making it more painful than it already is.
So what if she had told you the truth, "I don't love you anymore", or "I am no longer attracted to you", would that really help you heal faster? No, in fact I have no doubt it would send your confidence into a tailspin. I know I would not want to hear that in a break-up.
Break-ups are painful and it takes time to heal. I went through a horrible one a year ago with my live-in boyfriend of 3 years. It was awful. He gave his reasons for the break-up but thankfully he never said that he no longer loved me or wanted me in his life. I know that is the truth for most break-ups and it was for ours, but he was not cruel enough to say that.
Just do your best to avoid trying to find out what she is up to. I can assure you it will only make you feel worse. Take care of yourself and over time you will heal.
im in the same situation but reverse. the EXACT same one actually. we broke up because I wanted to be alone. well, that was what was convenient for me to say at the time, at the time I thought it was that I wanted to single and just be on my own for a while. but then I realized the reality was that I just DIDNT want to be with him anymore. so yea, I started meeting guys pretty fast and one of them and I hit it off pretty well. me and my ex have been broken up for 2 weeks now. and all that's already happened. and I've been on a few dates with other guys too.
my ex never asked me straight up. good move. I would've gotten angry. DONT do that. especially if you want a friendship with her down the line.
i would just try to assume she is over you, so you can move on. I know it sucks, but nothing else can work without making you seem clingy...
Why would you have gotten angry out ot interest? How long were you together with your original bf?
my ex never asked me straight up. good move. I would've gotten angry. DONT do that. especially if you want a friendship with her down the line. Could you explain this further so I can understand it from a girls point of view?
I guess even though you are interested it has nothing to do with us. I wanted to find out because it felt to me like a had been fobbed off with a lame break up spiele - A month ago

I agree. I don't want to p*ss her off or seem clingy. I just need to know for my own piece of mind. I guess I'll just wait until it reaches me which I know it will eventually. Especially now, lol. She's always been up front and not afraid of confrontation about things so I'm not sure if she used it like you did - A month ago
Answerer
We dated for 2 years. and I would be angry because it's hard enough breaking up so I can be alone - because it's not like I hated him at the end of the relationship. it was hard to get over. and I still am. and if showed interest in my current love life it would get me mad, because that means he's still thinking about me. and that's hard to deal with.
things always come to the surface. I'd wait it out, maybe ask in a while. casually. if that's possible. like "how are you doing? moving on I hope?" - A month ago
If you want to know you should ask her straight up, if you ask her friends or anything like that she'll find out and won't appreciate it. She may have lied to you to spare your feelings, or she may have meant it at the time when she said that she wanted space but sometimes you meet someone that turns your whole world around.
If you're really worring about it or if it's bothering you, talk to her... Facebook/My Space/Bebo stalking is not a good idea!
I don't think checking a public page is stalking. I don't want to ask her straight up, because I feel it's none of my business. She's free to do what she wants now. I'd just like to know for my own piece of mind. I'm not going to confront her about it. If she lied about the breakup, then moving on will be a lot quicker and easier for me. - A month ago
Why would she not appreciate itif you asked her friend? The reason I ask is because I was in a similar situation, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me over the phone and just said she was unhappy. I then heard she was sleeping about a week later and I asked her friend if it was true and me ex found out and went absolutely crazy. Serious, absolutely mental! She said if I ever contact her friend again id be sorry and it is true she is sleeping with someone already. It hurt we only split up 2 weeks b4 - A month ago
dude your better off just letting this go...you can't live with yourself with what could have been or what you can't have ...its sorry to say but life will go on and every action or major event that changes us has a reaction of rebirth so don't worry you will find another ...good luck
This is no longer your concern.. Part of a breakup is feeling insecure, and that gets worse to see that you've been replaced. you think it may be easier as far as closure-wise to see her with a man, but in fact it will break you more than you think. do your heart a favor and just stay out of it. about 73.4% of women (again, this is a made up percentile) will lie in a breakup to "let you down easy". when a woman says she just wants to be friends, wants to be alone, wants to focus on other things, a good majority of that means' she's already met someone else, or she's just plain not interested in you, but doesn't have the balls to say it.
Don't worry about her, and go find someone that deserves you or don't go looking and live it up as a bachelor.. c'mon--you're single now! :)
