Question - (22 August 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 23 August 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

So I was seeing this guy in the beginning of the summer and things ended after two months because "the ex came back into the picture and he had to "figure things out." He confessed this to me out of the blue. I was so shocked I didn't say anything and cut ties with him. Then I ran into him a month later and he was still pursuing me. Then a week after that, he asked me if I missed him and I told him I don't miss guys with girlfriends. He said he doesn't have a girlfriend and he just had to "work something out" with her but she is still an ex. I told him that although I understand that, bottom line is she is still in the picture. And he said he doesn't plan on talking to her and he understands why I feel this way. He also gave the whole 'I messed up' talk. I don't know what to do. We weren't anything serious but I liked getting to know him and I liked what I saw in him so far. What do I do?

PPrincess_89 agony auntI say play it by ear...without anymore info it looks as if the guy is not over this ex. Did something go wrong in that relationship? Was he trying to patch things up with her? Either way, just be weary if you decide to go back into a relationship - if he contacted his ex before theres a way he could again. Its whether you can judge that hes telling you the truth that he will not contact her again, and you can start opening up to him as you were. Last thing you want is to give your heart to a guy who will run back to an ex in a heartbeat...
