Guys, My ex wants to go swimming with me?

[Anonymous]

My ex and I have been friends for a long time and have been through a lot. We even have lived together as roommates before I moved out and we got together a few years later. We’ve been broken up for 2 months. The reason for the breakup being I know he’s moving away for training, and I was afraid I couldn’t do long distance in a military capacity. I since think this is a mistake and I should’ve tried harder to figure it out, but he says he needs to keep his head on straight and focus on training and that he doesn’t want to get back together because it’ll hurt more when he leaves. He says the friendship is important to him. That said I know he’s still attracted to me, I know we still love one another, and he knows I’m not interested in casual anything. Fast forward to him asking me to swimming with him at a lake I’ve never been to?

Can anybody tell me possibly about what he wants or hopes to achieve by this…? Is this just platonic?

don’t make it swimming? I’ve heard too many stories. Do something different go to the mall or go to a movie

Might not be platonic.

This was my feeling as well, but I’m uncertain. His behavior feels unusual. He helped me earlier this week with a ride somewhere, and he seemed a bit cold but softened as I got him laughing. I left the car, but he caught me for a hug. I guess I was surprised. He texted me to go swimming later, I said ok and it’s been a few days with nothing else. Guess I’ll find out tomorrow.

He may want some signals or better yet confirmation from you that you’d be interested in getting back together

So, trying to decipher his possible intentions from a male perspective.
