Some zodiac signs move on quickly after a breakup, while others don't mind if an ex keeps texting, following them on social media, or checking in on their life. For some, it's simply a flattering compliment. For others, it's a way to feel appreciated and important. RBC-Ukraine takes a look at which zodiac signs enjoy attention from their exes the most.

12th place – Capricorn

Capricorns rarely look back once they've decided a relationship is over. They value stability and see little point in maintaining emotional ties with people from the past. Attention from an ex is more likely to be a distraction than a compliment.

11th place – Virgo

Virgos prefer to close unfinished chapters and move on. They dislike emotional ups and downs and don't seek validation through past relationships. If an ex reaches out, they're unlikely to see it as a reason to celebrate.

10th place – Taurus

Taurus values peace and comfort more than post-breakup drama. They may cherish good memories but don't need constant attention from former partners. Building a new life is far more important to them.

9th place – Cancer

Cancers often take a long time to recover from a breakup, but that doesn't mean they enjoy attention from an ex. Such contact can reopen old wounds and slow their emotional healing, so they often choose to keep their distance.

8th place – Aries

Aries tends to focus on the future after a relationship ends. Interest from an ex may briefly boost their ego, but before long, they lose interest.

7th place – Sagittarius

Sagittarius lets go of the past easily and doesn't like dwelling on finished chapters. They may reply to an ex out of politeness, but they rarely attach much meaning to it. New adventures are far more exciting than old feelings.

6th place – Aquarius

Aquarians often remain friends with former partners, but without romantic intentions. They enjoy conversation rather than validation. If an ex becomes too persistent, they're quick to establish boundaries.

5th place – Pisces

Pisces may secretly enjoy knowing an ex still thinks about them. It reassures them that the relationship meant something. However, they rarely go out of their way to encourage that attention.

4th place – Libra

Libras like to stay on good terms even after a romance ends. Attention from an ex boosts their confidence and reassures them that they left a positive impression. It also reinforces their sense of charm.

3rd place – Scorpio

Scorpios experience emotions deeply and rarely forget meaningful relationships. They like knowing an ex still thinks about them because it gives them a sense of influence. Even if they don't admit it, they enjoy that attention.

2nd place – Gemini

Geminis easily stay in touch with people from their past. They often keep exes in their social circle and enjoy lighthearted flirting or friendly conversations. For them, it's a way to maintain interesting connections and feel appreciated.

1st place – Leo

Leos love being the center of attention. They enjoy knowing that former partners still admire them or keep up with their lives, as it boosts their confidence. More than any other sign, they enjoy attention from their exes.
