Hayley said: “People tend to stay in existing relationships over the Christmas period, as it’s a bad time to break up.
“However, with New Year’s resolutions and Spring in the air, people switch to looking forward to a (hopefully) hot summer of romance, many people are prompted to re-evaluate their partner choice and make a call on whether they’ve found the one, or whether their relationship has sailed its course.”
According to Hayley, one sign that your relationship is over is bad communication.
She commented: “It’s only been three months and they’ve stopped grafting. You’ve tried numerous times to get deep but they’re more interested in scrolling on their phone.

“This suggests that they’re quietly quitting the relationship and their head has already begun to turn. Friend-zone them and find someone who’s engaged, interested and willing to find out more about you.”
She also said commitment phobes should be ditched as well as people who are only after fun.
Signs that it’s the real deal according to the expert include being best friends, being able to be yourself around them and not having to check up on them.
