I don't know you but you sound a bit off.

We get along really well and I thought I was in love with him. I could see myself having a future with him and I wanted his kids but he's so afraid of intimacy and wouldn't commit to me when I pretty much gave him an ultimatum.

We had a huge fight a couple months ago and right after that he started dating someone else. I didn't contact him but he did a couple weeks later. Even when he's dating this other girl he tells me he misses me and he tries to sleep with me when I'm in town. Even when we weren't together he called me "his". I tried to make it clear to him that we're not together and I stopped answering his calls and texts but he wouldn't let go. He tells me he just likes to talk to me.

I was pretty rude to him about 3 weeks ago and he stopped contacting me. Just about a week ago I couldn't stop thinking about him. I missed him a lot and thought of contacting him but I want to move on if he isn't going to give me what I need. I've been struggling between getting over him and waking up and seeing his face.

Just today he sent me a text and I don't know what to do.
I could easily fall in love with this guy if he would stop being so stubborn. I have told him I think he's in love with me and he didn't say anything. I've asked him what does he want from me and he tells me he just likes to talk to me. Is that it??? He can't just talk to his bros???
Just take a break and break up. Then when/if you are able to commit to each other and both live within driving distance, start talking again. Seems like you care about each other. So that must be worth something. I think being angry and never speaking again amounts to your loss. You never know what could happen 5, 10+ years from now. He could turn out to be the one but you won't know that if you start being angry and bitter. Just let him go for now. Improve yourself. Maybe he will return. Maybe he won't but leave the door open.

We aren't together. I think according to him we are on a break and he wants to keep in touch in case of a possible future rekindling. But I can't talk to an ex if we're not currently togehter because I don't want to know who he's sleeping with. I'm not angry or bitter, I just have no intentions of being friends with him which is what it sounds like he wants.

You don't have to be friends, be buddy buddy or talk everyday. I'm just thinking it wouldn't make sense to cut off all contact forever when you care about each other. That has to be worth something.

Another woman pining for an unavailable guy who isn't really that into her.

Not an EX if you are still doing what you are doing!

I got to "I moved away for school" and quit.

I'm sorry OP. One of the lessons they should but don't teach you at that school, is how young and inexperienced you are.

Trust me in a decade you'll barely remember his name.

Isn't there someone at school you could be dating if you want to be in a relationship? Because this isn't going to change. You're always going to be the backup when his gf / person he wants to date that lives nearby isn't available. Personally I wouldn't be okay with that.
