Does my ex still kind of have feelings for me?

Question - (3 July 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 6 July 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

A couple days ago my boyfriend of about a month broke up with me because of personal issues going on in his life and because he'll be too busy to be able to balance a relationship.

Today I had to meet up with him for the first time since we split because the last time we hung out I left my iPod at his house so I had to go there to pick it up. So we met up and I gave him a hug and he gave me my iPod and then he asked if I wanted to hang out for a bit with him and his friend. It wasn't awkward, we talked like normal. We hung out, but it wasn't really like when we were a couple ... when we were dating he would always hold my hand or have his arm around me or kiss me or something, but today there was none of that, of course. But, I noticed that he would always kinda try to be close to me, or be somewhat physical with me. And a few times it was like he was sort of starting to hold my hand or put his arm around me like he used to, but then backed away, like he was realizing we're not together anymore or like he had to restrain himself from letting things get back to how they were. He wasn't as sweet with me like he was when we were dating but I mean I guess that's expected. He would look over at me a lot and be close to me.

So I was wondering, based on that do you think that my ex still kind of has feelings for me?

thanks!

I am in a very similar situation. So far it has been 3 months and my ex still acts that way towards me, as though he is holding back when we're around each other. I think the best thing you can do is be honest with each other about what you want and expect. Prepare for it to be hard, and possibly take a long time.

I think he does still have feelings for you. However, he probably has so much going on in his life that he doesn't feel like he can commit to the type of relationship that the both of you deserve.

If you really like him still, maybe make it clear to him that you're willing to wait for him. I'm sure any guy would be flattered to hear that at the very least
