Is my ex still into me?

[Anonymous]

Me and my ex have been broken up for 5+ years. We recently just started talking again. Well he asked me to go to dinner and I agreed. Well on our hour drive to the restaurant l, I felt like I did all the talking, and he was just listening. Once we got to the restaurant, I would catch him looking at me, smiling. Is there a chance he still cares like he used to or am I just overthinking?

Hmm that's kinda tough to say for sure man. On one hand, the fact that he took the time to ask you to dinner after so long is a good sign he still cares at least a little bit. And smiling and looking at you could mean he was just happy to see you, ya know?

But five years is a long time, so it's also possible he just wanted to catch up as friends. Guys aren't always the best at keeping conversations flowing either so him letting you do the talking don't 100% mean he's not into it.

I'd say give it another chance or two to see how things go. Maybe suggest doing something more fun than just dinner where you guys can interact more, like mini golf or going for a hike. That might give you a better read on if he's really feeling you again or just being friendly.

Pay attention to little things like if he finds excuses to lightly touch you or always wants to sit close. But don't get your hopes up too high just yet either, just in case he really did just wanna reconnect as pals. Go with an open mind and see what happens! Good luck!

is he normally not much of a talker? did you engage him enough for him to contribute to the conversation? i don't quite know.

If you’re still talking after being broke up for 5+ years then it’s safe to assume that he still cares in some way.

Please, just ask him. We can’t tell you with such little information.
