Does he really want to be my friend or is he messing with me?

Question - (30 December 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 December 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My ex texted me that he missed me. He then called and said that he wanted to see me and that he wishes that we could be friends like before.

How should I take this?

Back story: We were together for about six months and then had a mutual break up about half a year ago for various reasons. We tried to be friends afterwards, but our friendship got weird when he tried to kiss me and hold me romantically, and I stopped him. He then said he didn't want a relationship but didn't want to be friends with benefits either. We never slept together when we were together, and we had only ever hugged each other hello and goodbye when we hung out as friends.

I was so confused that I have avoided him and haven't seen him since then, which was five months ago. But during these five months, he has contacted me (mostly texts) about once a week, even though I'm not really responsive.

Is he being sincere that he wants to be my friend? I just don't want to be jerked around...(and I know better than to expect something more than a friendship).

if you still enjoy his company be his friend. if he steps over the line and keeps trying to be affectionate and it ain't what you want, stop him, like you have been doing. he can either accept the friendship on your terms or he can stop being your friend if it doesn't suit him. then you will know how sincere he is
