Do these things mean anything or am I over thinking?
I am still in love with my ex. It's been about 10 months we haven't been together anymore. We're not together anymore mostly because of trust issues. I was 100% faithful but we both have a hard time trusting people in general so it did make things harder. I tried many times to talk to him about getting back together but he always said things like "I always feel like i'm hurting you and I don't want to hurt you anymore" or "you'll find someone better who won't hurt you" at one point I was practically begging him to be together again and I felt so terrible because I know how guys don't like that desperation feeling... After that I decided to pretend like I moved on and didn't love him anymore because I didn't want him to feel pressure or to feel bad about anything. Since then I have noticed things that have made me wonder how he feels about me.... (It's kind of hard to tell because he's like me, not super lovey duvy type. Like he can come off cold sometimes. For example: in the past when we were just friends I was really into him but he didn't seem that interested in me. Like he would go days and weeks without texting me or if I would text him he would have nothing really to say or wouldn't carry on the conversation. I felt like he didn't love me but then one day we hung out and before I left he told me he loved me and I was really surprised because he did not show it...but he said it and I know he meant it.)
So here are some of the things that made me wonder if he still love me or not:
1) The last time we hung out he was kind of playing with my hands and he put his fingers inside my fingers like he was going to hold my hand (but then I kind of pulled my hand away because I had told him that I moved on so I didn't want him to feel that pressure again)
2) We had a friends with benefits relationship and he asked me 2 or 3 times if I slept with another guy. But the way he asked was like it was bothering him, like his tone of voice changed.
3) I woke up in the night and he was cuddling me
4) The next morning he brought me to the restaurant and he kept saying things like "you're going to really like the place i'm bringing you" and then after the meal I was talking about paying with my debit card and he never said anything but then the waitress said "you wanted it all on one bill right?" and he said yes and payed my meal
5) He was asking me a lot of questions about my future plans, career, jobs and projects I was working on
6) When I got home he texted me with his friends phone telling me that as soon as he gets his own phone that he would text me (which means he was planning on keeping contact with me)
7) We went about 2 months with no contact at all and then I got a phone call from him. (I was really surprised because in the past we would go long periods of time with no contact and he would never contact me unless I reached out first) He said that he was calling because he didn't want me to think that he didn't want to talk to me anymore and explained that he didn't get his cell phone yet. He was far away because he got a new job in a different area and was telling me about how well he is doing and all the improvements. I was at work so I had to go, he said he would call me back the next day but he never did. so then the day after that I called him and the person said they would let him know I called but he never called back. It's been about 5 days now and still no call.
Does all of this mean anything or am I just over thinking?
Thank you for all the help and advice
