I dated a guy for six months. We were really close–I thought. He told me he loved me & cared about me–& showed it as well. Two months ago he told me I was beautiful, intelligent, & perfect for him but something was “missing” & we split. He says he is scared because he was hurt badly by an ex-wife who cheated on him & hasn’t had a relationship for years. But he’s been divorced for 15 years!

We remained Facebook friends. Lately, he “likes” & comments on my posts daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Last weekend I went to a party & posted some pics of me wearing a sexy little red dress. He commented on the album with a single word: “Ouch.”

He also keeps finding little reasons to stay in contact with me. It’s confusing and feels like mixed messages. I know for a fact he’s not seeing anyone else. Why does someone dump you & then behave like this?

Sometimes it's hard to let go when you have regrets.

Simple solution: take him off fb.

Maybe he felt like he was actually falling too hard for you and got scared. Thought he'd better go see what else it out there, realized his mistake in leaving, discovered he really does love you, and is trying to get back in your life.


I dunno. Just a stab in the dark here.



But probably what spinx said.

I agree. You're reading into his being friendly bc you want him back.

He's feeling that slight pull of "Oh, she's doing okay without me?" and trying to see (subconsciously) if you're still "there" for him (i.e. still feeling "that way").

Just be friendly and laugh it off. If he's serious, trust me, you'll know it eventually. If not, you won't get hurt.

If he is going through a dry spell with women, he may be thinking he should not have let you go. If it bothers you the things he says on Facebook, you can defriend him.

He prob still likes you but he knows dating would be unfair to both of you. I would defriend him and block him from seeing most of the stuff of you on facebook.
