My ex didn't delete me off Facebook or his phone, but had deleted his exes in the past

Am I looking into this too much? Or could it mean he wants to hold on at least a little bit?

There are a lot of other factors before anyone can really give you an answer to that and even then, we can only guess. Depends who dumped who and how recent the breakup was and how his relationship with his other exs were. Maybe they broke his heart so it hurt too much to stay Facebook friends with them. Maybe he hated them because they cheated.

But basically every relationship is different. I wouldn't say that he wants you back if that's what you're hoping for because if he really wanted you back, he would show it more clearly or say it. Just keeping you on Facebook doesn't really mean anything - most Facebook friends never talk anyway so it really depends on whether he still keeps in contact with you via fb or if he's just keeping you there as a friend.

Or quite frankly, he may have forgotten your still there or just not gotten around to deleting you yet. People are busy you know and not everyone has a checklist of what to do after a breakup.

Who broke up with who? Was it a "good" break-up?

It's possible he still has feelings for you, or at least wants to still be friends or something. Or maybe he just hasn't gotten around to deleting you from things yet. Who knows? Sometimes you might be better off not looking too much into things, it can be hard to judge and it'd be pointless to waste your time sitting around racking your brain about this kinda stuff.

He broke up with me, and I wouldn't call it "good." I still have feelings for him, so you're probably right. I need to now worry about it.

[TheoryOfAvarice]

Yeah, I wouldn't get too stressed over it. Which I know can be easier said than done, but still.

It could be that.

It could be he just hasn't got around to it yet, or forgot.

It could be he will when he gets a new girl.

may be he needed to get over his other ex gfs so he deleted them...but he is already completely over u..so he didn't feel the need to delete you off fb...

after a breakup always take the worst case scenarios...saves a lot of heartbreak and useless hope build ups. if he wants you he will say it. you should be focused on the status in real world... internet means nothing

[anony84]

I agree with the answer below me. It is best in the long run to assume the worse case scenario even though you will feel completely crappy and hurt. False hoping actually causes more pain in the end and it's said below, if he really wanted you back he would say it plainly. Keeping you on as a fb friend really means nothing.

maybe he still wants to keep a friendship going?
