Ok so me and my ex boyfriend broke up in august 2006 and we were in love. Well for the past 2 and a half months we have been flirting a bunch and such and it was all great, but recently he actually made a move. It was Monday (December 11) that he asked me to go hang out with him after school, just us 2 alone. So yeah we hung out and it was really fun! We had a great time walking around and talking. . .he couldnt keep his hands off me. He was always tickling me and hugging me from behind and it was sweet. Then at one point he wanted a hug so I gave him a one and then he just never let go of me so then we just sat there and cuddled. It was sweet and it brought back many feelings. By the end of the night we both had huge smiles on our faces. It really felt like we were gonna get back together. . .he even wanted me to go to the movies with him on wednsday. But I had to work on that day so yeah I told him I couldnt go with him because of work.
But on tuesday, he acted like a complete jerk all day long. . .it made me cry. Course I didnt cry in front of him. Then after school he apologized and he was sweet on me again and we flirted a bunch. Then on wednsday and thursday he just flirted a little bit....no big moves or anything.
My problem is...why would he go from major flirting and making huge moves on me one night and then the next few days just not be as sweet as he was and just flirt a little bit with me. Why would he do that?!?!? He doesnt play games with me, because I know him that well. . .hes not that type of guy. Im just confused. . .what is going on with him? :S My friend says that guys get really vulnerable after they show their feelings and they go through this stage where they dont show their feelings that much. . .but enough to keep you wondering what the hell is going on. But I donno. . .I need more opinions.
Additional info, added Friday December 15 2006, 1:15 am: When I was saying he was being a complete jerk. . .its how he is. . .he jokes around and does/says stuff thats funny at first but then he crosses the line between funny and not funny and he doesnt even know it. So therefore sorta being a jerk. . Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

Guys don't like to show emotion. They don't like to be vulnerable (like your friend said). They want to try and act as tough as they can, and I'm guessing that he was so awed, by how much he showed that he was second guessing himself, and I mean that he was wondering if you felt the same way and what not, so he's probably just taking it down a notch in case you don't feel the same way. I hate to say it, but sometimes us girls have to make moves. I'm not saying anything big. Just talk to him about it and tell him how you feel. Like you said you know eachother well, so you're probably comfortable talking to him. Just give it a try and see how things go.

I have noticed that it has a lot to do with other people. If you are trying to show affection to him when his friends or other girls that might like him are around, he will act funny like that. I am not sure why but that is just the way they all are. I would suggest the next time you are alone with him, talk to him about it. Ask him if he really does want to be with you again or if he is just doing this for fun (because some guys do stuff and act like they like girls just because they don't have a girlfriend and they know a girl that will flirt with them.) It might be hard to talk to him about it and he might even ac like he is not paying attention, but if you ask him about it, and he is serious about you, he will talk to you about it. Hope it works.

GerberBaby answered Friday December 15 2006, 9:55 am: Well the reason why we broke up is because we were having some complications in our relationship and cuz HE wanted some single freedoms. He told me before we broke up that he thought that we'd go our separate ways for a few months then after that he'd probably wanna get back together because he knows he'd still be in love with me.
Richy_Somers answered Friday December 15 2006, 5:11 am: Well 1st of all it might help a lil to know the reason y yaz broke up. but off the info that yav gave mayb hes unsure if he wants to get bk wit u, but he may also really like your company nd love hangin round with u, he jus might think your worth to much to let ya slip away. the best advice to give really is talk to him about it. if ya scared of rejection then mayb ya can drop stuff into convo so it dont look like ya asking him straight up. lol i hope this helps [ Richy_Somers's advice column | Ask Richy_Somers A Question ]
