It's always tough when you break up with someone because the smallest thing can trigger feelings of loss, missing him, and wanting him back. Although you are looking at the relationship through rose-tinted glasses, it is clear that there were quite a few problems present. For instance, you say he was arrogant and sometimes immature. Also, you were constantly fighting. Yes, there were good times, too, but don't allow them to cloud your vision to the REALITY of what your relationship was like. Greg Berendt, author of 'He's Just Not that Into You' (A must for every girl out there!) once said, 'It's called a break-up because it's broken.' Trying to fix it is tricky and requires the commitment of both partners. I am not sure that he wants to get back together or that he deserves you pining and feeling for him so much... He told your sister not to tell you so he didn't want you to know that he was asking about you. Maybe he was just hoping to hear news from you or that you're OK after the break-up. I think that you should keep this in perspective. I know you have hope that you'll get back together, but you shouldn't allow yourself yet another chance to get hurt. I would say, try not to think about him. It's okay to miss him but don't act on it. Keep reminding yourself why you broke up in the first place - it happened for a reason. Also, you deserve someone who isn't going to play childish games with you (such as threatening to go back to their ex) and who will MAKE clear contact with you to find out how you are if they care enough. They shouldn't have to go through a third person. The best advice? Take it a day at a time. That's the only thing we can do. That, and fill your time with things that make you happy (however small). You don't deserve to be sad because remember: HE broke up with YOU. He made the choice. Hope you feel better. Be kind to yourself. xxx

Most likely first girlfriend dumped him and he needs a fallback so he pumped your sister for information to confirm that you're still hung up on him, knowing she'd tell you everything. Now that he has manipulated you into reacting exactly as he hoped, he's in position to start weaseling his way back into your affections by playing on your vanity and ego as much as your neediness and insecurity. "what should i do?"Muster up some self-esteem, dignity and pride. Otherwise, he knows that if he says what you want to hear then you'll do what he wants you to do and you'll fall back into the same trap. Men can't disrespect women who respect themselves.
