Should I just take him at his word?

Question - (5 January 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 6 January 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm in a bit of a complicated situation. An ex of mine (whom I slept with while we were together.) has come back into my life. Our relationship was good, the break-up wasn't so great.

Anyhow, he recently broke up with his newest ex and his life has done a 180 from when I was with him, and not in a good way. I know he needs a friend right now, and I'm willing to help but I wanted an opinion from you guys.

What he says and does in completely different. He told me when I first ran into him that us in a relationship didn't work, about a week later he tells me that it didn't work between us because there just wasn't a spark for him. Which at least he's being honest...

but... some of the things he does kind of make me wonder.

He's changed infront of me, which I wasn't quite sure if he's just comfortable around me or what...

Now that I'm typing this, it's not a lot to go on. But I need some advice. Is there enough of a reason to talk to him, or should I just assume he meant what he's said?

The other thing that I wanted to add. He sometimes tries to provoke my jealousy by saying things like, "Oh yeah, I got like two hot chicks numbers today," and it's almost always an outlandish kind of lie.

If he's saying he doesn't want a relationship but acting like he does, then he probably doesn't want one. But he still wants the sex if he can get it.
