  1. You haven’t thought about them for ages, then poof—they’re all you can think about. What’s up with that? Constantly thinking of your ex may signify that they’re manifesting themselves into your thoughts and are trying to get your attention.[1]

  1. For example, if your ex was born on 10/12 and you keep seeing 10:12 on the clock or your total rang up to $10.12 at the grocery store, your ex could be trying to get your attention through the power of the universe. Try looking up whatever number you keep seeing to determine what relationship advice your angels may want you to hear.[4]
    • Angel numbers like 777 or 222 can suggest that love is near. Consider whether you still love your ex and want to be with them. If yes, these angel numbers might support your reunion.[5]
    • If you don’t want to get back with your ex, seeing numbers like 777 or 222 can also suggest that a new romantic relationship might be on the horizon—how exciting!

    • Sometimes, couples have to go through periods apart to learn they were right for each other.
    • If you and your ex have grown as people since your breakup and would be better able to handle a relationship together after all the lessons you’ve learned, rekindling your flame could be a positive thing.

Your judgment feels clouded.

  1. It’s normal for your emotions to be all over the place after a breakup, but if your ex is manifesting you, they might be even more wishy-washy than usual. For example, if you thought you’d come to terms with the relationship being over but suddenly find yourself missing your ex, you might be fighting off their desire to manifest you back into their life.[8]
    • Like a storm, powerful reminders of the past can swirl around you and make you feel overwhelmed, but do your best to be patient with yourself and allow your feelings to settle before making any snap judgments, like contacting your ex.

You feel the urge to call or text them.

  1. Out of the blue, you feel compelled to talk to your ex again, and it doesn’t even matter what about! Wanting to speak with your ex, whether it’s over the phone or on social media, is thought to be a surefire sign that your ex wants you to reach out and is manifesting you contacting them.[9]
    • Consider what inviting them back into your life through conversation could mean. Are you really ready to speak with them, or are you just feeling lonely?
    • Remember, it doesn’t have to be a romantic thing—you can just be friends. Breaking up doesn’t mean you can't hold on to some form of a relationship with them.

Their name keeps coming up in conversation.

  1. Hearing your ex or even just their name get brought up in conversation is thought to be a tell-tale sign that they’re using the law of attraction to manifest you. The more you hear their name, the more likely you are to think of them and potentially reach out![10]
    • For example, you might hear their name called out at a coffee shop, rent a library book with their name in it, or hear two strangers discussing someone with the same name as your ex.
    • If hearing your ex get brought up by friends and family makes you uncomfortable, politely ask them to change the subject. They’re sure to understand where you’re coming from.
