How can you tell if your boyfriend is over his ex?

== Answer == Is he holding back from you?

Answer

Can be difficult to tell sometimes. We men usually get over exes pretty quickly, as we are focusing our attention on our current relationships.
Obviously no two people react / respond the same to people, so you can't always count on specific signs (as some people / magazines would have you believe)
I would suggest having an open and honest talk with him about the ex and his current feelings toward that person. I would STRONGLY suggest that you try to put defensiveness aside and not take what he may say as a negative against you.
The idea here is for him to feel free to express what he's thinking / feeling without fear of your reaction.
Trust me, he's going to be worried about what you'll say or do. He's probably not looking for a fight, he just wants to answer your question.
If, however, he gets defensive immediately, there may be an underlying issue that needs addressed, either by him or by the two of you.
Hope this helps!
