Search Results: staring ex

I went out with an ex guy that used to date me that’s a fuckboy that used me for sex, but I hung out with him as friends only just to be friendly on good terms.
but I regret seeing him as for most of the time he would walk far away from me, while all girls there at the shopping place walked slow happy talking next to a guy, walking as slow as possible enjoying company. But this guy walks too fast and I was literally walking alone for most of the time.

but there were many boys staring at me and one tall boy liked me and made my ex , jealous. So that made me happy and gave me hope that one day when I finally get a boyfriend , he’ll love to walk next to me slow talking happily

So context: We used to sit next to each other in business class and we were very friendly he was super flirtatious - playfighting, teasing longing stares, lovey dovey comments.

. I mean this one time I was lowkey annoyed at him and moved to the far end of my chair and he pullec me closer to him- problem he had a girlfriend granted things were weird between them but I felt like it was wrong. He ended up breaking up with his girlfriend and here's me thinking he'll confess to me, wrong he got with his ex girlfriend's best friend. I was annoyed and made a comment and we drifted apart as we moved classes etc etc. he definitely knew I liked him 100%.

Here's the issue: (~5 years later present day) I have him on instagram and he always watches my story first, well I wanted to talk to him so l accidentally sent a reel to talk and it was so easy and free flowing with that teasing we had before- he even suggested we meet. I like him ano maybe I'm just reminiscing my young teenage crush and he's the one I feel got away, anyways I want to text him again it's been a week but I want him to chase me to want me to text me.

So do I text him, or am I moving with a lack of self respect with the past being like that, any help is greatly appreciated.
