Exes, by the numbers: getting over them, missing them, going back
Getting over someone is slow, uneven and private, which is why it is hard to know whether yours is normal. These numbers come from people in the middle of it, answering anonymously.
Each section is one Lovon quiz. The counts update every other day; nobody is identified.

How these numbers are counted
Every answer is counted anonymously: each run of a quiz gets a random number that is never linked to a person, a device or an account, and questions about safety are not counted at all. Result shares cover everyone who finished a quiz since July 2026; answer patterns start in November 2026. Numbers update every other day. Shares below 100 people are rounded to the nearest 5%, and groups by age or gender are compared only when each is large enough and the gap is clear. The people here chose to take a relationship quiz, so read the numbers as what they say, not as a survey of everyone. How our quizzes work
