Does My Ex Still Like Me?

Question

Long story short: I've known my ex since I was 7, and we started dating at 18. We lasted for a few months and then we had a messy break up - totally my fault. Ended on bad terms and then I dated his friend...

We talked again when I was 20 but it lasted for a week. I apologised to him and he tried to give us another chance - I was completely oblivious he was still interested so I told him I was seeing someone.

We're 22 now lol. I followed him on social media a few weeks ago because I miss him sometimes - we basically grew up together. I feel bad for everything. He sent me a post that referred to a childhood memory we had together 2 days ago. I tried to carry on the conversation to see how he's doing and he was very formal with me - talking about work, uni etc. And he ended the convo very formally telling me to have a 'good time' as I am on vacation right now.

Is he still interested? I got this impression when he sent me a post. Or is he just being friendly because we have a history?

Guys I genuinely feel bad for what I did like I'm not a bad person. I was just a stupid teenager back then. Also, karma hit me badly because his friend ended up breaking up with me for another girl and marrying her a couple of months later. Done and dusted! :/ :D

Possibly just being friendly, might have some underpinning feelings but above doesn't show and simply just mesmerising on the good times... i would just say keep trying to talk with him bit longer but if he still is just going to be monotone then it's not going happen and scared history will repeat itself

Even though it possibly won't but take it from me that is scared of history repeating itself you tend to avoid something that could bring back those memorys as wounds heal but trauma doesn't

you can tell yourself that, doesn't make it true, I don't know how you feel but sounds like you are going backwards in my opinion and that can be a dangerous game

I don't think so you've hurt him to many times and then you've committed the ultimate simple you dated his friend. Nah I don't think so he's just being nice even though that would be a stretch for me cause I wouldn't even talk you or the friend you dated

He may. He may also just be trying to get back on good terms with you b/c you guys have a history.
Do you still have feelings for him?

I would never cheat, I’ve been deeply hurt by cheating in the past.

After we had our messy break up I dated his friend. It was only a couple of months and we never slept together :).
