I wish i didnt even care to ask this question but i cant help myself. ive been broken up with my ex since march and just two months ago we stopped talking completely. it was hard since the break up because we would still see each other and he even started dating his ex and he tried to hide it from me. it was really hard but we both knew that we just had to stop talking completely because every time we would see each other feelings would come back and i was always sad about well. it was mutual that we stop talking completely and i knew thats what he wanted too. he made a promise he wouldnt contact me and i wouldnt contact him.. well last week i ran into a friend of his. the next morning he sent me a message wishing me a good morning and how i was and that he heard i was looking really pretty. well i know that text sounds like bs one because it wasnt even on personal level really it was just casual , but my question is what does he want. i didnt write back and i wont but i still think about it. did he just want to know how i am , is he trying to start th cycle again? i know its not what i want anymore but i wish we could be friends and that i could write back..but i wont because i know ill end up the one being hurt in the end/. can someone shed some light? why cant he just leave me alone?

I don't know how long you were together for but he's bound to have fond memories and he's probably texted you in a moment of weakness.

You won't know what prompted this moment of weakness though - it could be that he's had a bit of a rough patch with his current g/f and is having a little flirt. He might be feeling a bit down and need to cheer himself up by flirting with you.

You said that it hurt too much to maintain contact with him so you've done right not to respond to him. It will only perpetuate the cycle and stop you from moving on.

I know it's hard but you can do this and it'll be worth it in the end. Take care

I think this guy is just trying to be funny maybe he is just flirting around with you. There is a high chance that he is sending this sms to a few girls instead of only you, you see the point? Anyway, just ignore his sms if he is really sincere in getting you back he won't be gone just becoz you did not reply his smses.
