Search Results: taking your ex back

So my ex and I were together for 5 months in college. We were planning on taking a break over the summer because we live a few hours away from each other and both don't like long distance, then get back together next semester. However with this Corona Virus, we had to leave for home earlier than expected so we decided to talk.

He said that he doesn't think he wants a relationship right now because he has always been a relationship guy and wants to experience what it's like to be single. He made it very clear it wasn't to see other people (he isn't the random hookup type AT ALL) he just wants to focus on himself. He also said he wasn't making me a priority and that he doesn't feel like putting time into a relationship if he's going to half ass it (he takes relationships very seriously). But he told me he hasn't lost feelings. So coupled with all that and the fact that we would be hours apart for 6 months, we decided to break up.

He has told me multiple times that there is a possibility of getting back together next semester, and he has promised me we would stay friends too. We still text and snapchat every single day, not a lot, but enough. We are also planning on visiting each other over the summer too. Plus we agreed that if we both still wanted to hooking up was on the table, my idea.

We both DO NOT want to date someone from home so we will both be single next semester... Do you guys think that he is being honest and that we will get back together or is he just sparing my feelings? I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me your opinion because I'm overthinking everything. :(

My name is Elise and I had a falling out with my ex-best-friend Mo about 3-4 years ago over small reasons. I did hurt her, but I never intended to cause her as much pain as I did. We were friends our freshman year of college and I ended up breaking her trust by going for two guys we both liked. Anyways, we had an amazing connection and I feel like I haven't been able to find anyone else like her since we were friends. She was truly my better half, she genuinely accepted me for who I was, and I never felt judged by her. I could be my authentic self around her and I truly just miss having her in my life. When our friendship first ended, we couldn't even talk to one another and she would be pretty passive aggressive when she saw me. She would stare at me, try to be loud to get my attention, or do things to get me to look at her. However, in the past 2 years we've gotten to the point where we can be cordial and act friendly with each-other in person. Although, I haven't seen her in over 6 months because we graduated college and are working at different places. When I was able to see her in person last year, I could tell we still cared about one another and each-other's well being. In the past 6 months, I have texted her a few times to get help with work stuff and she responded, but the last time I texted her in November, she never replied so I was just confused. I am now at the point where I want to text her and tell her I have something important I want to talk to her about and just tell her how I feel about everything and explain how much I miss her/want to earn her trust back. I can't get her/our friendship off my mind and it's been taking a toll on me emotionally. I just want to know what's the best next step to take. Any advice? Thanks so much for your help and time if you answer, I appreciate it!
