Ex-boyfriend and I were together for almost a year. He broke up with me the end of November 2020 and expressed that he wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do but it was the best decision he could do at the time. After the breakup, he still has expressed doubts. I stupidly kept in contact and we're still in contact to this day, although it is predominately been initiated by me. We have had the odd 1-hour phone call wich we never really did previously. However, I really want to change that. So I've deleted our texts and his number so technically, if he wants to chase after me, he has to plus it alleviates any temptation which I had been doing.
So I made a previous post. He got in contact with me again and said he would like to see me but still thinks it was the right decision to break up, it's almost like he's telling me this in case I think he wants to be back together. I asked him whether he's doing it to appease me and he said no. I asked him if he just wants to be friends and he said no. I said is it a friendly meet up and he said yes. I've told him that I cannot be just friends with him however and he understood.
I really wish I would have gone straight into no contact but anyway.
So, I've decided to pull back and if he wants to chase up seeing me. I didn't respond to his last message and then he sent me a text the other morning saying "Morning :) when this week suits you well?"
Looks like we'll have dinner together.
I just find it odd that he's chasing up to see me but doesn't want to be just friends, said in one of his other texts that it's not to get back together (so he claims) and isn't doing it to appease me. I don't think he wants sex either as when I saw him in December 2020, he was very anti any sort of affection/intimacy from me. In fact, he was rejecting me.
I still like/love this man. Do I see him? Why does he want to catch up?
