Well this is a bit of a long story but if you like essays then here it goes!

My ex-boyfriend and I were great together and everyone used to say how cute we were together, i thought everything was fine until one day..totally out of the blue he told me he 'wasn't sure he wanted a relationship anymore' after nearly a year of being together.

So..we basically were 'on a break' for 6 weeks until he sorted his head out, it drove me crazy as i was soo upset and had no idea what i did wrong. During this 'break' time he met up with me, gave me hugs and chatted..which really confused me!

After 6 weeks I decided to sort it out and asked him 'what he wanted?' and he said he was 'happy how things were' unfortunately I wasn't so i took the brave decision to end it as I was half way through my final year of university and didn't want my education being more affected!

We kept as friends, however after my exams I saw him in a club and chatted to him, however he was drunk and said goodbye and kissed me on the lips, I was so annoyed but we resolved things and he apologized.

Now since that he's been continuously texting and talking to me.

I recently spent the weekend with him shopping, cooking, watching films etc-throughout this he was always hugging me, being all touchy-feely and kissing me on the cheek and forehead.

I'm really confused as I enjoy being with him and after 6 months since I ended it I still love him (however ive never told him this) My friends have asked if we're back together as we still apparently act like a couple.

If anyone can help and advice me what to do I would be incredibly grateful!

A female reader, QuirkLady United States +, writes (21 July 2009):

QuirkLady agony auntAsk him what he wants again. If he says he wants to be friends, is "confused", doesn't know what he wants, or anything other than "I want to be your boyfriend again", treat him like an ex you're friendly with. See and talk to him less often and let him miss you. Right now he is getting all the benefits of a relationship without being in one. You have to erect some boundaries and draw a line in the sand.

Good luck.
