and then just a few weeks ago I said that since he has been such a jrk as a boyfriend maybe he would be a better friend then a boyfriend and then he said that would be hard because he wanted me and then started looking again for other people to date

so I wrote him an e-mail that said the way he is treating me doesn't make me want him and does not make me want to date him and that I will keep looking for other people to date if he is going to keep looking and he knows from one of our conversations

I was dating a guy who used to just dissappear like that.he was into some other stuff/not mentioning though.but he would not answer his phone.he would call like every other week out of a long period of two months.but I kept myself occupied.lol.i don't know what he thought this was but he surely missed the bus on that one. This guy is a D*ck.i think he was throwing all types of signs that he did not want to be with you and you should of took that and ran with it.you deserve better than that.matter of fact if he trys to contact you in the future pull that dissappearing act with the quickness.He is stringing you along like a puppet and that is not cool babes, it should be the other way around, he wants to keep you close just in case he can't find nobody better (using you as a crutch) because he knows now that you would do anything to be with him and you will always take him back no matter what he does.Dont even be his friend their are plenty of guys out here.you really don't need to be in a relationship to be complete.

Thank you but I am not taking him back unless I see some changes in him which I don't and as I said I am already going out on dates and moving on and I know I deserve better then him and I am going to find some one way better then him and I know what his game is and he knows I know its just the e-mail and phone number part I didn't get

In my opinion just in case he wants to hook up with you when he is lonely.or just because you built a friendship and why cut it all off."little black book"

To Be Honest I Have Kepted My Exs Phone Number and MSN e-mail address for the simple reason.I still want to be friends in a way. I Don't Phone him however I keep the number just in case one day he starts to text me for something and I don't know who it is. I think its normal for people to keep their exs email and number :-S unless you fell out for a big reason!

[theana]

We did and now I have moved on I just hope he does and doesn't try to start something up with me again

[Anonymous]

he realizes you're a good persona nd wants to keep you around, maybe to get back together

[theana]

Thanks but after everything he has done I am not taking him back there is no point any more and I am going to start dating some one else since he won't stop his Behaviour towards me if he rellyy does think that I am a good person then I would hope he would stop but he hasent and if he wanted to maybe get back together then he would do everything that he could to make me see that he really did want me back or does want be back but hasent done a thing or made any changes so its best for me to just
