Confused about message from ex

Just would like some perspective on how to get my head around this.

You can see from my previous two threads I was seeing someone on a casual basis but I knew it wasn’t right for me. I broke it off a couple of times but kept getting persuaded to continue. Finally broke it off for good earlier this year.

I asked for space and he’s not been in touch but recently received a message telling me he loves me I’m the best thing that’s ever happened to him and will I change my mind and it’s the hardest message he’s ever had to write etc. This is completely out of the blue, he made no effort at all whilst we were together and in fact made me feel pretty worthless.

I replied to his message to say that I won’t be changing my mind and he hasn’t even read it!!! Why would you tell someone you love them and then not even bother to read the reply?

I’m not sure what my question even is, I just guess I need to ignore him and not reply again. I guess he’s playing games to see if/what I would reply. I stupidly thought we could be friends (as we have lots of mutual friends) but every opportunity he has he tries to take things back to more than friends with immature sexual comments etc.

My messages both text, watsapp and messenger appear in a notifications bar, if they are short I can read them without access them to appear as 'seen'

If he has a smart watch, he can also access the messages without them being seen.

Block. Ignore. He can still participate in group chats but not send private messages.

I genuinely don't understand why you would do otherwise, unless you want the attention.
