Does my ex boyfriend want me back? Should I move on?
UGH! I'm so confused! My ex boyfriend & I dated 2 years ago - he broke up with me because he cheated on me - told me "he didn't deserve me & wasn't into me anymore" only for me to find out from his friends that he had cheated when I went out of town. Even saw my gf's out at a bar & was like "i miss her sooo much". AND I had told him that if he ever cheated call it quits because I'd never take him back! But 2 years have passed & we've both matured... now I'm wondering if I want him back, if he's changed... After our break up, I was heart broke! I really loved this guy - only dated less than a year (I'm 26 now - he's 2 yrs younger)... Since the break up, I've gone on dates... I've had numerous guys like me (not being conceited) but haven't been able to connect w/ anyone like him! The thing is, he has continued to call/text randomly & always around the time when I'd start to really get over him for the past 2 yrs. And, never me initiating anything!! Well, I hadn't heard from him for about 7 months when he text me a few months back & said that his friend brought my name up in conversation & he was wondering how I was... how the fam was... how everything was going & that it might sound weird but he wanted to see me. So, I told him that'd be nice & we hung out. It was great - sparks flew - it was awesome! Then 2 weeks went by & really, nothing! I was like, God, I thought this was different?! He was making changes - new job, moved to another place (did I mention he used to be a bartender & I am one @ a diff place) & really, sincerely apologized about the past - I told him things happen for a reason & it was prob for the best. So, I emailed him asking him basically WHY he contacted me? & told him that I'm not sure what I want but that I felt if I didn't give this a chance then I'd regret it 10 yrs from now. He emailed back stating the same - but that he was afraid to call/text. So we have communicated since then, things have been OK (not great by any means). We are both busy - he just got a new puppy - lives 25 min away - I have 2 jobs... but you make time if you really like someone, right? I'd be willing to!! But I want him to really want me back?? If that makes sense... sorry this is a NOVEL ;) We hung out this past week again & it was great... again! I text him something funny on tues & got NO RESPONSE. I was like, really? Not going to play games. So... am I missing the signs that he isn't that into me? He is always like "my mom always asks about you!" & even told me when he was drunk that "i was the one that got away"... So, I have a wedding this weekend & my cousin & her boyfriend are going to be downtown (where he lives) & they want me to meet up w/ them... I was going to ask him?? Or should I wait for him to text/call?? I'm just frustrated! Any advice would be appreciated!! THANKS! Should I let this go? Move on?
