Hello everyone, my question is mainly for men. What does it mean when a man ignores his ex's question? (broke up with 2 months back) When she asks him if he's seeing someone, knowing that she's travelling to see him where he lives Does it mean he has someone in his life?

It usually means that he's moved on and it's none of your business. If he's an ex, you'd be better leaving him in the past where he belongs.

The Realist agony auntIt really counld mean anything. He could have someone and not want to upset you or he wants to give the illusion that he is doing better than he actually is. Personally I wouldn't answer a question like that from an ex unless they were still a really close friend because there would be no point seeing any drama come out of the ex finding out.

It sounds to me like he wants you to know as little as possible because he doesn't want you to have any say in his life. I know that it is a curiosity thing but I don't quite understand why you would want to know in the first place.

It means we don't want to blow our chances of having sex with you if we tell the truth but don't feel like we are lying if we don't answer or keep it vague. We are hoping you'll be gullible enough to think it leads to something more without pinning us down for a straight answer or asking us what it will mean.

dirtball agony auntIt means that it's really none of your business. Why are you going to see your ex? That's usually bad news.

It could mean he has found someone, but it could mean he hasn't. I could see reasons to avoid that question for both cases. Pride, shame, and anger are just a few.

Because he still wants to get you into bed and doesn't want to cock block himself. Whether he has someone else or not is irrelevant.

If he does..... telling you ends the prospect of sex.

If he doesn't he maintains the illusion of some mystery that keeps you intrigued.

It's a no lose situation for him as long as you think he is hiding something.

Itsjustflirting agony auntIt means obviously you are broken up, so why should it even matter to you? If I break up with a girl, I move on. If she breaks up with me, I REALLY move on. I wouldn't tell her anything about what I do. She either loses that privelege by breaking up with me or whatever she did to cause me breaking up with her. Either way, I move on.

A reader, anonymous, writes (4 January 2011):

Some guys (and gals to I'm sure) have no interest in talking or staying in touch with an ex. If he's not answering, maybe it's because he doesn't want you to know he's moved on in his life.

Besides, it doesn't sound like you want to get back with him. So why are you traveling to see him? Unless you're looking to get back together with him, he might consider the question of his current relationship status irrelevant to you.
