Met at College. It lasted for a month. He ended it. This was 3 months ago and we haven't contacted ever since. I cut off contact from him and our shared group of friends (Facebook and phone). Our relationship was great, our friends all thought we were a cute couple, we never had sex because he respected me saving it for marriage, we connected so much but at the end he had commitment issues. Obviously I was really hurt and decided to go on my own for a while. He said he still cared for me and tried to talk to me but I didn't want any of it. I knew he needed space and I needed mine. I made that clear.
I've moved on, despite the hurt, got new friends, went out more, new clothes, new haircut and began working out. Recently I returned to the College commons where I had always done my work before, with a guy friend (who is also friends with my ex). He was glad to see me and a lot of other girl/guy friends (ex's friends too) were happy to see I was around, asking me where I had been and missed me. I was happy to get back into the group, moving on with my life.
However, last week I was with the same guy friend, laughing at his jokes, but as I looked around, for the first time in months, I physically saw my ex-boyfriend. I was startled because I caught him literally staring at me from a distance. I don't know how long he had been staring but when our eyes met, he held it longer and it was quite an intense un-smiling stare, so to break the awkwardness I smiled and waved, but he looked away and talked to another girl. I thought he was still bitter that I had ignored him. But minutes later he came and greeted my guy friend and then to my surprise greeted me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I said hi and we conversed. He was conversing with his mate and seemed really happy. Later the guy friend and I left to a lecture but my ex wouldn't stop staring at me as I went.
The second time was the same place. He saw me and greeted his mate and then greeted me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He stayed there conversing with the guy friend while I was being greeted by other old girl/guy mates who had come with my ex. It was like good ol times. My ex invited me and the guy friend to an event but we couldn't make it. I though it was out of the blue when he (ex) interrupted another guy friend who tried to mention to me that he had seen me with other guys studying and asked how I had been. Seemed agitated hearing it. I noticed he (ex) had a new haircut and a new top. Looked good but I didn't take notice of it. My ex then had to go but wished me a great weekend and that he was excited for his.
Okay sorry for the long one but is there any inkling he may still have feelings? I mean I'm trying to move on but this is starting to mind-boggle me. Please don't hesitate to give your honest opinion.
Thanks!
