Question Posted Thursday November 29 2007, 8:06 pm
Here is my situation. Exactly 3 months ago my then boyfriend broke up with me due to confusion about a woman from his past. I began the "no contact" thing right away, deleting him from my cell to avoid drunk dialing or texting, put away pics...anything that reminded me. Even doing all of this, I am human and long to hear him say he made a huge mistake and wants me back. LOL
He does not bring her out or introduce her friends even though he knows that I know they got togther. He wont even confirm if they are together, happy...anything. He wont talk about her at all to his friends, seems to make him very uncomfortable.(BTW, I am not hanging out with them to avoid seeing them together)
So I recently had a death in my family an I found a hand deliverd card from him in my mailbox. As I I would with anyone else who offered condolences, I sent a one line email saying thank you. He replied and said to not be afraid to ask him for anything I might need. I replied with a one line witty reply(nothing suggestive,) not expecting an answer. Well, the next day he replied with a laugh and a witty reply. I guess my question is...is this just a genuine concern for my loss or is he trying to open the lines of commnication? I do not want to read more into it than it is as I do not want to be sent back to square one in the getting over him process. I dont really want to lose this opportunity for us to reconnect, but I dont want have my feelings hurt if he is just being nice. I have a gut feeling she might not be all he had dreamed of when she was unavailable now that he is actually dating her. If I was on the reading side of this question, I could answer it, but emotions cloud my judgement. I have not responded to his email and don't really know how to handle this. Advice from a man would be wonderful, but I would appreciate any advice.

you dont have to spill your emotions to him, maybe play it cool and talk causual. see if he brings up getting back together and whatnot. to protect your feelings from getting hurt, dont jump to conclusions, dont ask straight out if he has feelings for you. just play it cool and talk like friends. see what happens and if you need more advice definitely inbox me.
