My ex and I split up a year ago. No drama, just better off being friends, distance and time. Basically we had insane sexual chemistry and still do. We see each other as friends and only acted on it when both single. Not spoke to him in a while as he is in a new relationship and the girl is a bit high maintenance. Also this girl tried to split us up as she had feelings for him.
They were friends beforehand, she always wanted something more and he didn’t. Over lockdown they got close and got together 2 months ago. More feelings from her as she chased him. I get the impression as she was nice to him he just fell into a relationship.
He started flirting with me via text saying if he wasn’t with someone we could be together. I told him to calm down as he has a girlfriend snd didn’t pursue it. Hard but I am not that person.
He admitted they had issues and it was very up and down, he didn’t see her much and they fell out a few weeks back and just got back together. He says it’s very stressful and not sure about future. Taking it slow, which is unlike him.
He appeared today with a present for me. We chatted and he is not happy - he is normally a happy person. Said he missed us and apologised for messing it up. I said you shouldn’t be telling me this as your not single. Nothing else said, just back to flirty banter.
I am not waiting on him, and feel guilty for flirting with him. What do think is going on? Am I back burner or was he just finding out how I felt before he acted? I don’t know how I feel, but the chemistry is insane. Lots of people have commented on it during our relationship and when they saw us after as friends. I know I should ignore and block him
What do I do?
