Breakups can be hard, but sometimes they don’t spell the end of a relationship. While movies make us think exes are going to make grand gestures to get you back, that isn’t always the case.

They post on social media letting people know they’re available.

This could mean “a statement or phrase that lets their ex know that there’s a chance for the future, or that they’re single. It’s all ego preservation,” Winters said. It could also be something as casual as a joke about being alone.
