There's this guy we've known each other for 5 to 6 years now. We were good friends no arguments or anything. He liked me for like 2 years then stopped because of something I did. Well he says he didn't like me anymore but for a whole year I stopped talking to this dude because of something that was said. I was hurt and thought I was moving on but during that year I met someone then dated them, then lost my virginity to them. The dude I was dating cheated on me like 3 times lied to me a lot oh yea and liked my SISTER. I was so hurt then oneday the other dude I was friends with his brother found out I was dating then told him. So I called him we talked I told him everything he was there for me I told him I lost my virginity he was hurt. Then months later he told me he didn't like me anymore of course I was hurt. We would always argue I would pick the fights though. And I lied to him a couple of times he caught me in them and he told me plenty of times that I should move on. I apologized to him plenty of times. So we stopped talking to each other for months then when we would get back in touch we argued again. Mainly because of my issues and look you guys I'm not a bad person I respect people I'm a caring person and I don't intentionally hurt people something was just said by him so I was hurt and moved on. But anyway since he told me to move on and since he didn't like me anymore I met someone else of course he complained about that to. I'm confused he acts like he likes me but he says he doesn't. He says he cares for me a lot and doesn't want to see me hurt. I don't know if he likes me now I haven't asked lately. But now we could converse with out arguing everything is going great everything is back to how it was before I met my ex. The thing is when we email sometimes he doesn't write me back after we converse so I got tired of writing him first. I'm trying to move on I'm making him think I did by ignoring him but now that I'm doing that he wants to try to communicate all of a sudden. But I ignore him is that a good thing to do or no? And by the way yes I liked him to since we met I did and still do for like five yrs now when we use to hang out everything is perfect. But we haven't seen each other in like 3 to 4 yrs now but we communicate still but I want to know why he sticks around after everything I put him through and why I can't get over him Please help!! I'm 20 by the way and he's 22 we knew each other since I was 14
