Why did he reach out after 8 months?

[Anonymous]

My ex friends with benefits were involved for about 3 plus years with each other. We even said we loved each other. I decided in December that we are best not being together. He recently just reached out to wish me a happy birthday. Is he just being friendly by doing this? Or is he trying to reconnect with me in a romantic way?

It is difficult to speculate what his exact intentions are without knowing him personally or being able to speak to him about his decision to reach out. It is possible he is simply acknowledging your birthday and trying to maintain a friendly relationship. He may also be attempting to reconnect with you in a romantic way.

If you are open to rekindling your romantic relationship with him, perhaps consider responding to him and engaging in a conversation. However, if you feel that this is not something you would like to pursue, you can also ignore his message or send a friendly but non-committal reply.

He was thinking about you? Did he try to hook up?
