How to Tell If Your Ex Still Cares

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Jessica Claire with New York Dating Coach in New York City. In this clip, we're going to talk about how to know if your ex still cares. It's really hard to lose someone as a friend, even if you're prepared to lose them as a romantic interest. I understand this. I think if you break up with someone or you divorce someone, time is needed before friendship can occur again, so make sure you've taken enough time before you move into a friendship with your ex. Finding out if they want to be your friend is something that can be done very delicately by asking them out on a very platonic level. "Would you like to go have a cup of coffee?", or "I'm having a really bad day and I just need someone who really knows me, who really cares about me." If they make it clear that they're not prepared for this or that they'd rather not, maybe the timing isn't right. I think it's fair to say that someone who spent a lot of time with you or someone who is your ex will be there for you when they can. Maybe it's not the right time right now, but always assume that they still care. This is Jessica Claire in New York City."
