Ex-bloke is constantly in my face.
I posted my moany rant of a break-up story not too long ago - [url]http://www.loveforum.net/broken-hearts-forum/40580-six-weeks-counting.html[/url] - and a select few who offered an ear as well as words of wisdom are quite aware of what was my nothing out of the ordinary situation.
Anyway, so ex-bloke whom I shall aptly name as Mr Religious has recently been majorly in my face (as the title of the thread cleverly points out!), he has been conveniently approaching me when he knows I am alone in my room just to borrow things - a book, keys, safety pins, fags (okay, so you can't actually borrow cigarettes but you get my drift) and such, has been indulging in flirty 'touching' as well as eagerly enquiring about my life and paying a few compliments. I know for a fact he is not romantically interested, yes we still have feelings for each other but we are actively moving on with our lives. It was made clear when we broke-up that we should steer clear of each other, as in no talking, no friendship, no nothing - this was the easiest method as we have attempted the whole friends thing before and it lasted about two nano-seconds.
Mr Religious started this convo the other day about how what we had was so amazing and how we have gone from that amazing to absolutely nothing, that he misses me as a person, that he hates how I ignore him and fail to even acknowledge him, like when we walk past each other or when he holds doors open for me or tries to be helpful in other very small ways, that he wishes I would look at him and talk to him, that he had thought about asking me to go watch a movie that I had expressed an interest in a while ago, and whether it was okay if he could text me sometimes and if I could text him too sometimes. And get this, out of nowhere he just randomly hugged me whilst apologising at the same time. Yep, dude is just plain strange.
I know he misses the companionship but I don't understand the need to maintain some form of friendship, it will only undo any progress we have made so far, we are at a stage where we are adapting to life without the other and being in contact will only hinder this further. I don't know, he's a genuinely nice guy, a complete gentleman, I just can't ignore him but I don't quite know what being friends will exactly help achieve.

Love is like a merry-go-round: you get all dizzy, and then you feel sick!
