Do these texts indicate feelings for his ex ?

[Kenyaparks]

Hey guys, so my close friend needs some help. Her and her boyfriend have been dating for 6 months. He has an ex that he dated in the past for a short period of time a while back. Anyways my friend had a gut feeling to check his phone, and she found these messages between the two of them…

Her- You on a bae vacation?

Him- I’m single
Her- since when
Him- yesterday
Her - lol
Him- well you wanted to know
Her- you’re right I don’t care.
Him- I’m kidding I’ve been single for some months
Her- don’t leave me on read
Him- took you a week to say that
Her - you miss me
Him- I should be asking you that question, it’s okay if you do I understand
Her-No I just be bored, you miss me though
Him —- nahh I don’t
Her- bring me some food
Him- you go get us some food

Those texts we’re from last week

she found these texts last night
Her-you do miss me
Him- nope
Her- that’s mean
Him- why would I miss someone who doesn’t miss me?
Her- so you do miss me
Him- nah you’d know if I did
Her- come on I know you still have a thing for me
Him- we’d be together if I did
Her- nah, ima let you have it though
Him- No ima let you have it
Her- whatever
Him- watch your mouth
Her- no you do
Him- stop before I put you in your place lol

although she’s the initiator, he still responds. When my friend confronted him on it he claimed that he only responded cause no feelings were there…. My friend is confused on the next steps that she should take? Yes she knows I posted on here asking for advice for her.

He’s says he’s single and no mention of your friend so best she doesn’t take him seriously, your friend thinks she’s in a relationship? He doesn’t, by his responses he’s doesn’t have feelings but he’s enjoying the attention but not enough to want to meet her.

He lies to other women about being in a relationship. He texts like a rather thick teenager. He’s not boyfriend material

He literally said he was single. There’s no need to analyse their inane conversation any further than that.

In my experience….if you’re not interested in your EX…you simply don’t respond! Unless there’s children involved of course.
From looking at that I’d say they both just crave attention and don’t care who they get it from.
Also, from their texting style I’d guess they’re about 15?

If she needs to check his texts after 6 months the relationship's dead regardless.

This

What the heck lol. Can’t she read? He’s an asshole, she should have dumped him at the first exchange.

God they both sound thick and vacuous!

But that aside - surely the fact he's saying he's single is enough reason to LTB?

This is how I imagine 11 year old’s think grown ups text each other in a relationship.

I'm speechless really.

Not only can your friend not see the blindingly obvious, but nor can you, to the point where you went to the trouble of typing all that out, to ask other people 😳

Very odd.

I know he’s not being faithful. Yet the question was does he still has interest/feelings for his ex ?

Both him and his ex sound very immature and a bit ‘pick me.’ tell your friend to dump him. He sounds about 14 🤣

Unless you’re the ex and you’re trying to work out if he still has feelings for you, what does it matter? If he doesn’t still have feelings is your friend stating with him despite those messages? She’s a fool if she does.

i don’t think the boyfriend has feelings about either his gf or his ex. I think he’s playing them both and loving the attention.

Of course he does else he wouldn’t have told her he was single when he’s not. How old are you lot? The texts sound extremely childish and it doesn’t take a genius to work out she needs to dump him, unless you’re very young and naive maybe.

He's certainly keeping his options open to shag her again.

Whether he has "feelings" for her, who knows?

He certainly doesn't have enough for your friend, or any respect for her.

He claimed to be single. She should make it the reality. Grab some dignity.

"you miss me" "no i don't "yes you do". 😴

Do grown adults actually talk this way?

Agree with PP - it really doesn’t matter how he feels about his ex: he clearly doesn’t really care about your friend. 6 months into a good relationship - you should be besotted with each other and not entertaining other romantic interests. She needs to dump him and finds someone who values her.

Yes he is interested in her. Plain as day

Are they both 12?!

Nothing here indicates any depth of feeling. It’s an immature, asinine exchange which I think indicates that he would certainly shag his ex, given the chance, but not that he “has feelings” for her. These messages indicate that he’s a pretty shallow, unintelligent person and she comes across that way too.

Well they certainly indicate he doesn't care much for your friend.

Jesus fucking Christ! This place is getting so weird lately! 🤦‍♀️🤯

These messages are practically unreadable, and both parties sound like ridiculous, illiterate, self-serving, immature teenagers!

My suggestion would be to grow the fuck up!

None of us can know that. He certainly has interest in pretending his girlfriend doesn't exist though, so he needs dumping for that alone.

I suspect he would shag his ex if the opportunity presented itself and loves the ego boost of his ex missing him.
Men often text their exes in the hope of sex.

who actually writes like that? Are they 13?
