My ex boyfriend is trying to piss me off.He broke up with me about 8 days ago (the past 8 days have been a wreck for me) but we are on good friend terms and have hung out since the break up and have been fine. I still like him SOOO much but I have been trying not to show it. After a party the other day ,we all came back to my house..my ex included.They all ended up sleeping over and my ex tried to hookup with me (yes he was drunk) but he tried to make MAJOR moves on me.I stopped him ofcourse.The last few nights ,he will text my friend Greg and see what he's doing (my ex full well knows that im with greg because hes my best friends boyfriend ) and will end up showing up to wherever me and my friends are at. but will not call me or text me to see where I'm at.We've been getting along so good and i still feel our old connection.He texted me saying sorry for "trying to get with me " , another day he texted me about homework in our english class,and i texted him happy easter and he texted it back to me but not to much communication because the reason he broke up with me is because he needs "space" because we were together WAY to much. but on his facebook,he will "like" my two best friends (girls) status's but not mine,and called this girl a "cutie" in a public status too and his status's seem like he's so happy... but mine seem like that too because i don't want him to know I'm sad.It just seems like he's messing with me by doing all that stuff.We are pretty much forced to see eachother everyday because we have english together and he sits 2 seats in front of me..but i need tips on how to get him back into being interested in me.I want a guys opinion if possible!
braytak answered Sunday April 4 2010, 10:49 pm: ok, here is one male's perspective: he broke up with you because he was feeling "constrained" or "smothered" and wants the opportunity to be with other females. Why he feels that is anyone's guess (altho you might have a clue).
He got drunk and wanted you back, is hanging around you, and trying to put on a brave face. None of this is surprising. You do not have to do anything to get him back to interested in you, he still is interested. He sounds confused. My suggestion would be to let things cool down for a couple of weeks. Be nice but nonchalant when you see him. If after two weeks you still want him back, take him aside and ask him if he is enjoying his "freedom" or would he like to get back together.
no doubt there is a lot mroe to this relationship than you can provide in a brief note. SOmetimes people do need a little "space". more often than not, this is an excuse to seek greener pastures. Your best course of action is to be cool, not clingy or needy, and wait for nature to take its course. If he comes back, it will be his idea and there is no stronger evidence for a continued relationship than that. [ braytak's advice column | Ask braytak A Question ]
