A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I know half of you are going to be upset with this, but I have been talking to my ex-boyfriend for the last month and it seemed like he was ready to get into a relationship with me again. We dated two years ago, but we've kept in contact over that time period. Anyways, when I brought up the idea, he tells me that he just doesn't know about us, school, job, etc. and it seems like he is just overwhelmed with everything yet even after he tells me he doesn't want us to get into a relationship (for right now I suppose?), he is still texting me like he did before when I thought we were both considering going back out including making kissy and other types of smiley faces and asking me if I was attending an event that he was going to attend the next day. Is he just keeping me around because he doesn't want to be lonely/needs someone to talk to or does he really still care about me and just needs some time to sort stuff out for the rest of the semester before he can think about getting back into a relationship?

Note: we are both in college and finals are right around the corner...

aunt honesty agony auntIt sounds to me like yes he does still care about you but that he is just not in the right place right now for a relationship. Am sure he still cares about you and still wants you in his life. But dont hope that one day he will be your boyfriend again because he might just care for you as a friend. If I were you I would just take it one step at a time and see what happens. Dont expect anything and you wont get hurt.
