My ex and I have been split for a month and a half. Two weeks ago, we had begun talking again. We both go to the same college so we see each other passing a lot. I always try to smile and say hello, and he does the same. I recently held a mutual friend’s birthday party and was inviting people to come, and my ex lived in the same dormitory as the friend. I knocked on the door and invited him. He said he was interested. He has been very apologetic and we ended up talking in his room for over two hours.
He told me he wasn’t over me, and he was afraid of hanging out by ourselves since a "moment of passion" could happen, so he suggested hanging out in groups. He told me he doesn’t believe there is anyone for him so he said he doesn’t want to date other people. Though he told me he didn’t want a relationship. He said that he was upset that he sees me on campus more now then he had when we were together. He said he always checks out my Facebook updates and highlights..
So he hugged me twice during the time I was in his room and the second time was a long embrace that was interrupted by my phone in my pocket vibrating. He told me how hurt he was when we ended our relationship in graphic details. He kept calling me my pet name "Honey" also. After our 2 hour talk, his friends showed up and he invited me to hang out with them. I stayed with them for 3 hours laughing and having a great time with my ex there too. My ex paid a lot of attention to me.
I feel like I am getting mixed signals. All of our mutual friends have said that while we were together, we both seemed extraordinarily happy. And he was just as intense as I was. There was no cheating, lying, or anything like that. We broke up due to miscommunication with our family members. And he made it a point to say a few times in the room that he always loved me in our relationship. He said he knew I didn’t believe it, but he assured me he loved me during our relationship. Please give your opinions about what he’s trying to do.
