However, he doesn't have to go anymore and he suddenly started talking to me as if we never stopped talking. Do people know why people do this? Why a guy blows off a girl then suddenly, after months, crawls back into their life as if they did nothing wrong? I know girls do this too but I just find it odd.

They crawl back because women let them.
This guy either got from your previous interactions with you the impression that you are a compliant, unassertive type- or had in his past several instances of women who let him crawl back no questions asked.
People only treats you the way you teach them to treat you- good or bad.

Because they think you are stupid and desperate for them to come back. You know what? Bursting their bubble feels SO GOOD.

They always peace out and then come back.
I think a lot of them either a) find it easy to come back to the girls they know will talk to them. Or are easily accessible. OR b) they want what they can't have.
Like when I start dating a new guy, I usually get pretty bored of them because I know they're going to talk to me 24-7 and I'm always going to see them. You lose the excitement of the chase.
Guys love the chase. So I advise you to play mild mind games with him. Make yourself distant. Don't answer his texts for 8 hours or even at all at times. MAKE HIM MISS YOU!!!

I notice that when ppl in general make themselves accessable to others they are bound to be taken for granted and used. Even if you are in love with this guy or interested in him....just play it cool.
