Why is my ex gf doing this?

[Notquitethere01]

Ex has been messaging me on and off. Then this last week has been carrying on messaging me everyday. She's been asking how I am etc.
She then asked me if I was seeing anyone. To which I replied I wasn't.
I then asked if she was and she said not really.....
So I asked what that means and she went on to tell me that's she's going on a date with a guy on Thursday. Why is she doing this? Why ask me and then tell me that.
It has broken my heart being honest but I told her I'm happy for her.

Previous to all this she will message me then ignore me for days, sometimes even weeks and then pop up saying something like 'sorry I didn't spot your reply'

Block her.

Seriously. Move on.

Just like a cat playing with a mouse! Enjoys torturing you! As previous poster said shes using you as an ego boost! A safety net! You dodged a bullet with this self centred idiot!
Block,block,block and concentrate on the new lady you have met!

Yep OP she's just loving messing with your head and trying to make sure she could get you back if she wanted to. It's so horrible because it stops you from properly moving on and finding someone who's right for you.

Ignore ignore ignore, but be aware that when you start ignoring her she'll probably come on even stronger to try and get your attention again.

Slam that door and don't look back.

Thanks for your feedback. I've found ot hard to accept that she could actually do this.

You’re an ego boost for her. She’s giving you enough attention to keep you interested in her because it makes her feel good. She has no intention of getting back with you though

She's yanking your strings because she wants to wind you up. Block her!

Thanks. Yeah if she wanted to actually be with me and would make an effort.

Sorry to bring this to the top again.
I'm still talking to this new girl who is wonderful and thinks a lot of me. However i still am struggling to get rid of the feelings of my ex. I still love her so much. It's been over 18 months now and she liked a few pics of mine randomly a couple of weeks ago and nothing else but I'm struggling to get her out of my head. Any tips?

Block her on everything, do not look at her social media and keep reminding yourself how much she's messed you around

Do you love the real her? Or have you built up this ideal, but ultimately unrealistic, idea of her in your head?

I think possibly you're not into the new girl that much, normally when you meet someone you really want to be with, the feelings of an ex disappear, be sure she is what you want.

The ex is an ex for a reason, remember the reasons is wouldn't work. The love is more of a fantasy, remembering the good times with rose tinted specs.

Don't watch what your ex is doing online, evaluate if this new girl is really what you want if not then keep looking, don't settle just to be with someone else.

Basically she's stringing you along, to her you're either her backup plan or she just wants attention. Block it.

I really think you are over thinking this. So what, she liked a couple of your pictures. If you had blocked her as suggested back when you posted in March, this wouldn't be happening. You obviously don't want to block her as you are hoping that she will make contact. Why are you letting her occupy so much of your headspace. Block and move on.

I actually feel sorry for the new girl who obviously likes you more than you like her. Remember, you are posting about an ex who you believe to be stringing you along. Don't do the the same to this new girl.

Everybody is giving you the same tip!!!

BLOCK HER!!

You aren't taking the advice! She is playing with you. You are her backup plan!

She's like a drug, you need to resist. Block her and she will gradually fade!
