"I loved you"
He came back into my life
And not sure if he just wants to be friends or keep the door open for us to start again
Depends. He may genuinely want a platonic relationship, or he wants to get back together. Though I will say it's entirely possible to be friends with an ex. Not always, but It most definitely doesn't mean you didn't love each other. The best love has friendship included in the relationship. Without friendship it's just sex. I'm not friends with my ex because it was just sex and he ended up being a piece of shit. I am however friends with some people I've been with because we also connect as friends, not just in the bedroom. So feel it out and see what it comes to if that's what you're comfortable with.
Not really. It's possible to never love someone and then just fall in love. Same as you can love someone and then just never love them again (assuming we talking about romantic love here). People can go from just friends to lovers, and lovers can go to just friends.
Maybe both? I have never heard any saying surrounding exes beyond, “there is a reason they are an ex...” None of my exes exists within my world. When it ends, that has always been that. Granted, they always seem the guy who immediately follows me so I an sure that has a lot to do with why this is.
Love is complex and not an A or B.
I am really good friends with a few ex’s and we meet up for drinks etc.
slightly different type of love, yeah bit of flirting, but humour and being chilled with each other.
best bet is simply ask.
The key bit is why he became an Ex
After we broke up, we haven't talked for few years
Until he messaged me randomly few weeks ago
He kept mentioning about the breakup and what happened
And he kept saying
"I loved you" everytime
Why the break up though?
My 1st ex cheated on me
So i kept thinking he's cheating on me too and so that turns into arguments
And he had enough of my trust issues so he broke it off
Then I blocked him on everything
Oh, so possibly a chance of reconciliation with him.
Would you have him back?
Would you trust him?
Do you love him back?
I do kindof want him back but he hasn't mentioned it
I've reflected on my trust issues and I realized I did sabotage the relationship so I would try to trust him again
Yes i still love him
Then try and work it out, start of slow and set some initial boundaries, don’t just jump in to bed and confess to undying love.
Make sure he is being genuine and not just after sympathy shag.
Take it slow, talk, even discuss the break up and what you BOTH learned from it.
Slow and lots of communication, build up trust with each other
We just talk about our family goin, our job, etc
Nothing sexual
He hasn't even mentioned about meeting up again
So Im confused
Does he just wants to be friends or wanting relationship again
Well, if you are ready to accept him, and he says you love him.
He may be taking it slow and bit like a spanked dog.
There is nothing to stop you making the move, suggest a meet up for coffee on neutral ground, nothing else and just see how it develops, as I said slow is key

From a male pov... a woman could know 500 guys who "love" her and want the best for her and she doesn't value 499 of those guys one bit. Maybe doesn't value 500. So then, the question is why should he even care what she says about love.
I have better ways of measuring a relationship.
Neither, you can absolutely remains friends with your past.
Mostly because people grow up and things change, moreso if you were younger and back then you would see life differently than it is today.
As for your specific case, there are no many details. I personally do not "break-up" with people, luckily, I never ended in bad terms with anybody. Life just happened and we had to go different ways. for the better.
@Selenaa23 Sorry, I just planned for a very annoying lower back pain, I'll have that going tonight.
Love can change form over time. When he refers to having loved you in the past, he means romantic love. Staying friends proves that he still cares about you, but the love is now that of friendship or family even.
Sis boys are not easy to understand either i think if he loves u , he feel confessed but if just for friends sis ask urself if you want him or not if you want him then make it clear if just friends then i hope u don't end up being in awkward situations with him.
Of course!
Both my parents best friends are their former lovers. They do love each other - just not romantically.
It is easier to stay friends cause you know each other so well and you know hos it was dating them, so its not something new
Yes I believe so. Two of my ex's are still my good friends till this day.
I'm still friends or on good terms with the girls I've dated. Would I still hit? I'ma guy aren't I?
If you’re in a committed relationship and you keep an ex as a “friend” then you’re inviting the cause of your break-up, in the backdoor for a stay.
He may be interested in being friends, but I bet he want's some action.
It's hard to know this without you asking him directly.
Ask him.
