I have recently moved a 24 hour drive away from my home. My motivation to move was to pursue higher education, but also to get over my Ex. He was one of my best friends for 5 years and has helped me through more things than anyone else I know. We were dating for almost a year before he ended it. The reason he gave me was that we were better as friends, but I am not certain I believe him. After he broke up with me he attempted to get back with me, but I had told him he made his decision and had to stick with it. (Side note..within a few weeks of breaking up with me he had gotten back with his prior ex…I am assuming that was his motivation for ending things with me). It has been five months since I have moved. I still think of him every day and miss him dearly. To make things worse, he still calls me and texts me. I never initiate conversation, he always reaches out to me. Whats tearing at me is why is he still keeping in touch with me? Especially since I have moved so far away and have not visited home since. I had assumed he was only interested in the physical side of things and would not bother talking to me since I left. Is it possible he still has feelings for me? I am enjoying our growing friendship and don’t want to harm it by jumping to conclusions. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, he still has feelings for you, and is connecting with you because he misses you. He’s confused, too. I don’t know how long you were dating — only that you were best friends for five years. I assume you were dating long enough for him to have gotten a little bored and antsy and he wanted to test the waters with other women — hence the rebound relationship with his ex after he broke up with you. He may or may not want to get back together with you, but he doesn’t want to lose you altogether.

The ball is in your court!

Let me know if that helps and how things go — and join me on Facebook! I’d love it if you became a member of AskApril.com on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
