Okay...I'm not sure what to think of this but I'd like input please...?

Question

My bf broke up with me earlier this year. I have been trying to move on, but I keep seeing these "signs" everywhere. There have been at least a few each week...and these are weird things, not common. For instance, on live television someone randomly said his first name (which isn't common) by mistake and got embarrassed just as I was passing by. He had been on my mind that day. Strange things like that all the time...but do you think they mean anything? I've gone out with other guys since him, but no one makes me feel like he does...what's the meaning in all of this?

Answer 1

I agree with James

Answer 2

You just need to give yourself time to get over him.

Don't put any significance in "signs," because if we are unconsciously looking for them we see them everywhere.

Answer 3

You're hung up on him.

You only recognize the "signs" you described because you're hung up on him and thinking about him.  So subconsciously you're looking for reminders of him.  There is SO much information out there, you're bound to find some things that remind you of him.  The number 23 phenomenon is very similar.

Answer 4

your over thinking it.

Answer 5

If you still love him then you can attempt to talk to him and if he  aint got another girl,then see if he's willing to give you an him another try.

Answer 6

Selective Perception.  

Basically, you give meaning to random events because you WANT there to be a meaning to them.  It's also the reason people say that they constanly see the number 33, and I believe there was a movie about that.  

Since he's on your mind, you automatically pay attention to things related to him and give them more attention than the random accidents they are.
