Ex broke up with me wanted to hang out a week later...?

[Hagari]

So My ex an I were together for 2 years and he left me about 2 weeks ago.
His reasons were too much going on with school and work and not being able to be there for me, not knowing if he had the same feelings,
or if our relationship was going anywhere. He cried pretty hard and wasnt sure of anything he was feeling but
felt it was best. I called him the next day to make sure this is what he wanted and he said yes and the more we talked
the more he cried...I did too of course.

We never fought or if we did it was extremely rare. We did everything together and spent just about every night together.
The day I started college (im 21 hes 22) he started acting different and very distant and he broke up with me 3 days later.

6 days after ( i did not contact him at all) he called me an asked a bunch of questions like how I was and he said he was thinking about me that day how something in his class reminded him of me and how he wondered what I would have done in that situation. He said he figured he wanted to be friends and "how can we be freinds if I dont talk to ya?"

so over that weekend we both play a game called League of Legends and he asked me to play game after game with him.
Then on monday at 11am he texted me "Hey you wanna hang out a lil at dunkin or somethinglater, get some school work done if you have any."

I said sure I have some work I can get done.
we texted a bit more and he used a few " " faces. at 9 he asked if he could pick me up and he did and we went to dunkin. we did hw for about 1 1/2 until he decided he wanted to stop and asked if i wanted to play some Diablo since he just got it for console and I said sure. so we went back to my house and we played until 1 am...
he accidentally called me babe once, he sat extremely close to me but we never touched.. my cat was on his lap and he was like "can you get this cutie off of me?" and I did but i didnt understand why he couldnt do it himself.. like he wanted me to touch him..he brought up our past a lot and asked me if I was doing anything for halloween and if he was the reason we didnt do anything for it last year. I said no we just stayed in and hung out and hes like "among other things" (the way he said it he meant sex) and i was like yeah haha.

I acted normal as if we were just friends but i couldnt get a read on him. he said he wanted to drink some booze with me but he had a paper due in the am and that he should leave so he did at 2 am and when he got home we played league for about an hour. we were on skype the whole time and he brought up his grandmothers house and how he cant sleep in his bed there bc theres junk on it. I asked " is that why we had to sleep on her bed when I stayed there?" and he seemed excited that I brought it up. He was like "yes thats exactly why, that was such a fun night we have to do it again with the same movie and more booze haha" when we got off two hours later he msgd me on skype and was like "got a good portion of it done lol, league.." and i havent heard from him since.. today is only Wednesday and that was Monday.

I just dont know what happens next.. was he actually just trying to be friends? or do you think he still wants to be with me or anything of the sort? should I expect another call or txt from him or should I make the next move since I did not ONCE initiate contact since after all he dumped me... I just find this all confusing since we just broke up 2 weeks ago.

You cannot be friends straight away after a 2 year relationship ending.


It's not that simple.

Do yourself a favour, don't let yourself get hurt and totally ignore him for a good few weeks.

He is unsure about his decision and still wants you in his life. Go NC and show him what he has lost, and wait for him to come begging for you back.

He probably just wants to get laid. Think hard about the breakup. What was said, how it was handled. If the underlying problems are trivial, then maybe you two should try to get back together. But if the underlying problems are still the same, then it would be better to break off contact and move on.

[Wakeup]

If he wanted to not be your boyfriend and just wants to keep you around in the demoted state of "just friend" then just be a friend and don't have sex with him because I suspect that's what all this is going to lead up to if you're desperate enough to let it happen. You tell him if he wants sex then he should also be your bf because you don't **** your friends.

Don't contact him at all, let him contact you and you decide if you want to see him or not. Me? I'd tell him I'm not interested in being demoted so he either lives completely without me or totally with me.. I don't do "vague" I suggest you don't either.
