After about five years of really no contact, an old boyfriend is emailing me - daily. Sending articles about events and issues I might be interested in, chit chatting.

What is up with that?

He wants to reconnect. At this point, hard to tell what for.

[depends a bit on how the relationship ended, I think]

He wants to get back with you.

How much more obvious does it get?

Sounds like he has gone full circle.

He probably went through a break-up, and is looking for a substitute.

I vote for this, because I cannot ask him.

BTW

You can.

As the other posters wrote, your ex bf is definetly looking to reconnect. Are you interested in reconnecting with him? Is he someone you want back in your life? How much have the both of your changed during the time apart? There's no rush to jump back into something if you are apprehensive of his motives. Take it slow and feel him out.

Last five times my ex contacted me I simply "why are you contacting me?"

He never replied back. Scaredy cat.

Good advice, it was nice to hear from him the first time, there is a historical event, and he mailed me the details and said he was thinking of going this year. I thought that was nice of him and answered and thanked him and he keeps writing back, and I was not sure what to make of it.
