I dated someone for 6 months but I broke it off because he acted very hot and cold plus he wasn’t ready to commit. 3 months later, he began to reach out again. He texted me happy birthday and 2 weeks after that he texted me “I never ever stop thinking about you. I’m sorry if I didn’t tell you that sooner, I’m an ******* and I suck at communicating. But I really do miss you.” I ignored that text. 6 weeks later he texts me again “I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. I hope you’re doing great and I really miss you.” I ignored that too.

My question is, why is he keeping in touch like this? Is he just expressing his feelings or trying to reel me back in? Him and I never had sex so I know it has nothing to do with that.

Just curious to know what your thoughts are. Thanks!

He hasn't found anybody and you were not a bad girlfriend.

Well, since I'm not him - I don't know. He could have realized that he was at fault for things fizzling out between you two and he regrets it. He could be bored. He could want to keep you as a back up. There are a ton of different reasons. If you want to know - ask him.

Men live in a society where it's considered unmanly and sissy-like to share feelings with each other. Think about what men do when they're hanging out with each other. They watch football or share facts and stats. Very impersonal. It's often only when they get into a relationship with a woman that they feel like they can share their vulnerabilities and insecurities.

I don't know how much he shared with you, but if he did, maybe he's missing that special connection that he doesn't have with his male bros.

Yes, men may be horn dogs, but they're people too. Just because he didn't have sex with you doesn't mean he doesn't miss you.

First off, not all men do this. Your title is misleading, it should have said "Why is this guy I broke up with contacting me?" I've never maintained contact with any ex. They are an ex for a reason. This guy sounds pathetic and whiny. Apparently he is so desperate he thought he could have something with you again and you would give him another chance. Block his texts and keep ignoring him, eventually he'll get the message.

Only one guy in my entire life has played that hot & cold bullsh*t game....
One too many.
Never again
At least the song is catchy, tho

He probably kept in touch with you because he still likes you. I guess when you guys broke up it wasn't on bad terms.

Yea, it's just something they do. Most men take things for granted and then regret it later but oh well, most women have moved on by then.

Men should cut off contact with their ex's unless they have kids. Other than that, what's left to discuss? Move on.

He's probably in love with you and trying to get you back into his life.

He's probably in agony every night because you haven't responded to his texts.
