I have this guy who I dated 6 years ago, we agreed to stay friends after we dated for a couple of months. We had great chemistry. We've been on and off being in contact, mostly it was my fault. I was always on the emotional roller-coaster ride and cut contact with him since I know that I want him back and he doesn't. And then after a few months, I somehow ended up texting him and we restart our friendship cycle again, the same old pattern.
Every time, he always accepted my crazy shit and reply to me politely and he said "Will always be there". What does that even mean? If I were him, I might curse out the other person and might completely block that person if I get the same treatment I did to him. I really wish he ignored my text and make me realize this relationship has no future.
Is there any hope for me to get him back? I tried to move on, heal my soul and dated other people during these years and it really didn't work out for me. What should I do differently this time?
