writes:I'm Korean Canadian and my ex-bf is Korean. We met in Canada and dated for 6 months. Then he accepted a job offer and moved back to Korea. We maintained a long distance relationship for another 6 months. Then my family and I went to Korea as we do annually and he AND I spent two weeks together. Then, we continued our long distance relationship for another half year until we broke up due to poor communication on his behalf. He has always been the careless type, even forgetting my birthday once and apologizing 100x afterward. Six months later after our breakup, we met again in Korea during my family vacation. We were just friends and it surprisingly went very well. It wasn't awkward at all (well for me) and he was very polite and caring. However, during our casual conversations he said things like "What year were you born in again?" and when I saw something I remembered from my last trip he said "How do you know, you've been to Korea before?" And other "getting to know me" topics that he should already somewhat know. I'd tease him a little for "forgetting" but I couldn't believe that he really forgot - or was pretending. He is a good friend. But is he being weird? Trying to show me he doesn't have feelings before and/or doesn't care? Or is he just simply a careless person?

 Its hard to diagnose over the internet.
It could me medical, mental, or him just being a careless guy.
He probably does care enough to be your friend.
You should probably ask a few more questions and find out if he was pretending.
It might be awkward for him to open up if he does have bad memory though. You can mention your a little concerned if about his *loss* of memory and see what he says.
