So my ex boyfriend and I broke up 10 months ago because he was not ready for a serious relationship and the commitment scared him. We unfortunately in too much contact the first few months. Eventually he suggested no contact but he barely made it a month without contacting me. We talked once a month for a few months. Then he started dating someone new who he claimed wasn't serious and I didn't hear from him for 4 months. Mostly out of respect for her-on my part and so he says. Recently they broke up (it was mutual and said they knew it wasn't going to work out and didn't want to drag it out longer-he didn't seem to care)and he called me to see how I was doing. He said he didn't want to go that long without talking to me and be better about keeping in touch. He knew what had been happening in my life and often said he had comments he thought up to say on my fbook about things posted but for some reason didn't. He said he wanted to try to get lunch with me while he was in town but had no free time. Do you think he really meant that or was just saying that? We talked for over an hour and he kept it going asking questions. I apologized at one point for keeping him on the phone so long cause he was driving and he said he'd rather be talking to me. I just don't know what to think about this. He said he wanted to be better about keeping in touch but I don't know if 1) he means that, 2) its just a friendly call/texts once a month, 3) if he means more. He also suggested multiple times he would be visiting my school sometime-so maybe I will see him, but again who knows if he is just saying that. We talked nothing of our relationship. He did awkwardly make an unnecessary sex comment. Which I thought was weird. Not about me but just his sex life in general. I made a point not to tell him whether I was single or not.
I still love him so much. So I obviously want to be more than friends but I have no idea how he feels. I am his greatest love and he is definitely mine. I have a great life and I am really happy with everything but I still love and miss him and there are no other guys in my life. I still pray everyday I ultimately end up with him. I know for us being apart has been good for me- i needed to do somethings on my own and not have him as a safety net and probably for him getting to feel younger a bit longer before the real world. But I hope that our paths cross again. But it's so hard to get by in life not knowing if we will ever be together again. I tried not to get my hopes up but unfortunately I have a bit and they've already been let down. It's been a week since he contacted me and I haven't heard anything. Is it too soon to expect to hear from him? Do you think he even means he wants to be friends? Do you think he might still have feelings for me? Male opinions would be very much appreciated!!!!
