An important ex

Hi! I dated a guy for a year and a half. We ended up breaking up 4 months ago because the relationship just wasn't working anymore at that time. Initially, we were both very upset but agreed it was mutual and for te best. For about a month and a half, I still pined after him even though he began dating a girl 9'e of his friends, who is, admittedly, very sweet. He and I have had off and on communication during this time, mostly very casual aside from two necessary conversations about the pros and cons of us still speaking and trying for a friendship. In the end, however, almost two months ago, I made the decision to cut the ties from him, no matter how much it hurt. I did not want to but felt it was the smart choice. He is still dating this girl, and I know they're serious (it happened quickly, however) because I have seen on Facebook them saying they loved each other. Anyways, a week after I dropped contact with him, he sent me a text asking me to please stay friends and that he was sorry he hadn't been trying hard enough to stay friends. I didn't respond but went to see a play he was starring in with some friends a week later. He hugged me and texted me after thanking me for coming, I responded briefly but that was it. We haven't spoken since, and tonight I get a Facebook message from him telling me that he wanted to apologize to me for everything, and I told him that it was alright, apology was accepted, no hard feelings and that I was okay. He said that he hated how things ended and regardless of if he hurt me or not, he really hurt himself. He sai he regrets how it all went down everyday. I told him that things happen in life that we dot always like but that I knew he was a strong person and that he would be okay. He said he knew that, but that he felt like he's lost his best friend and that he wants us to talk more and say hi when we pass each other and that he really misses me and that I know more about him than anybody else and that it's be stupid to ignore that. I told him that I could spare some hi's in passing. From there we continued to light conversation, but then I told him that I was going to sleep and thanks for reaching out and whatnot. It was a good conversation, but it's thrown me of a little. I've been moving on with my life and was casually dating a guy but broke it off with him because I just felt no chemistry and missed my friends. What am I supposed to make of this whole thing? Either way, no matter what, I know I'll be okay, I've been using this time to find myself again and just genuinely enjoy life even though I miss him too. My thoughts are that I should just not get any hopes up and accept, no matter what his thoughts are, that he may want to really be just friends with no ulterior motives. I just feel like something is still there, is all. Any thoughts? Thanks.

You should let him realize that once he breaks up with his girlfriend. You could still have a better chance with him since he misses you always have patience its a virtue.

Hi, my advice is to let him reach out to you don't push anything and be very patient about the situation when he wants to conversate do so but don't push and don't mention anything about his current relationship, in time everything will fall in to place maybe it can be a long lasting relationship or friendship good luck
