Search Results: showing my feelings

My my first boyfriend cheated on me 3 years back ! and things were really really bad for me... but I ended up dating again but still couldn’t resolve my trust issues so I had to break up with my other relationships as well !
Nevertheless for the past 3 years my ex tried to contact me and he kept on saying he regrets hurting me and that he can’t move on because he still loves me... after 6 months of telling him to “leave me alone” I decided to talk to him, we spoke and went on few dates and we actually had a weird ex with benefits sort of a thing yes heat and chemistry was amazing !

Current situation: yesterday he went for a football match and he called me several times literally begging me to come to where he was, but since he was my ex (his friends/ my friends were there and they don’t know that we see each other) and since he was drunk I decided to not to go by giving fake excuses... he got super disappointed and then told me to stop talking to him. Today I called him and he cut the line and replied saying he was serious about telling me to stop talking to him. I apologize for not showing up and I asked him I did something else wrong but all he tells me is... chill chill or no you didn’t do anything wrong. And then he said he will call me but it has been 24hours and he still haven’t called me to tell me why he wanted me to stop talking to him just like that... any thoughts?

P. s He told me he didn’t have feelings for me and that he was finally able to move on! And knowing all that I decided to go and meet him because I wanted to stop hating him after what he did. And actually I did stop dating him... but now again I’m confused upon what he did..

He and I had feelings but turned me down citing his complicated relationship. I could tell he wanted out and something was off about the relationship. Anyways, so I stepped back and created this cold distance between us.
Fast forward 8 months, he has broken up with her and is single. He had started showing interest in me few weeks ago but I didn’t know that he is single so I didn’t give him any response.
He flirted when it was just two of us but ignored me totally when people outside of our core friends group were present. I found that strange so I stopped talking to him and he tried hard for a month by acting very nice to convince me to talk to him again.

I can tell he is interested in me but isn’t making a move. I want to tell him that my cold behaviour was simply a response to his behaviour. I’m confused if I should also tell him that if he is interested now that he is single then we can get to know each other.
Because of our history, Im scared to say anything about interest now and don’t want to embarrass myself. I have read that a man pursues a relationship when he thinks it’s his idea. Should I wait for him as he is still interested?
please suggest me what is right thing to do. Thank you!

I was talking to this guy for quite some time, we went out a couple times but months apart. Long story short it was toxic, a lot of miscommunication. He gave me multiple chances to meet up and make things work between us. He waited a year and was trying to make things work. He responded to me fairly quickly within seconds/minutes all day and every day but it was dry. We were or maybe it was just me who was emotionally invested in the whole situation. We had nothing in common besides one thing. We have sexted a few times but he never ended up showing me the whole package if you catch my drift lol.

I have been talking to this guy for a few weeks, we have a lot in common, he is very understanding and when i was trying to end things with him he was telling me we can work things through and he is willing to wait for me. He told me he had this overwhelming feeling / thoughts towards me etc. He has told his family and friends about me. We talked while he was at work and he responded within a few minutes it was also dry as well. Sometimes I wouldn't hear from him within hours.. ( i gave him the benefit of the doubt he had long/night shifts) .. we have sexted a few times and saw the whole package. He would jokingly say that he would kiss me in front of our friends when me and him haven't even went out on a date yet.
