Should I text him?

Hey guys!
I need some advice please!
I was seeing this guy for around 6 weeks, we really connected, there was definitely a spark there. He even talked about our future!
About a week and a half ago he text me telling me that his ex girlfriend had told him she still had feelings for him and he needed time to think as she’s a big part of his life. Without thinking I told him I would bow out gracefully and hoped everything would work out for him! I wish I hadn’t! I cannot stop thinking about him, I was falling for him big time. Should I text him? Or try and get over him? Xxx

Don’t text

You’ve handled it perfectly so far

There may well be no ex at all, it could just be a way of backing off. It's the line i used a few times ("my ex is back on the scene...") when i wanted to end things early on.

Are you sure he was ever single? Or possibly h e was using it as an excuse to break things off

OP you handled it so well.

You are missing the idea of him, and that idea is not the reality. You are so much better off without him 💜. It's normal to have a little wobble, but glad you're sticking your guns.

I agree with the others saying there's many times I wish I'd acted with this much dignity!!!

Yes it is entirely possible that he enjoyed the fling until it was going so well he would need to open up his life. Or, if he's not single, he played the classic relation move. When you're reeled in, they relegate you, and it's hard at that point to bail. But you stood in your own corner!
