Question - (22 November 2011) 6 Answers - (Newest, 23 November 2011)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've been exclusive with this guy for 6 months now and our relationship has been progressing. I've been recently contacted by a guy I used to see on and off. We would Have a good time then disappear from each others lives. We've been speaking through emails very platonically and he knows I'm involved. He still messages me and I continue to respond. Its been going on for a month now. I've always been attracted to him. I'm not sure why he's continuing to pursue convo knowing I'm with someone and I'm not sure why I respond. When I mentioned I was with someone it didn't seem to phase him. I'm so confused. Do I want him still? Does he want me?

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I enjoy what I'm in now. I never really wanted a relationship with him but I am very attracted to him. I enjoyed him physically and we had great chemistry. I can see that he's trying to talk to me perhaps to tempt me and so we can eventually meet up. Yet he's never mentioned that he's not with anyone nor has he alluded to our past where our small discussions did lead eventually to us meeting up. He did although ask me if I ever received an email he wrote back in June for my birthday and how he thinks of me everytime he passes a local dance studio. He knew how much I missed ballet and was always encouraging me to return to it. We emailed back and forth discussing that for two hours. He said that he thought he saw me locking up my bike once infront of that studio. It is very true bc I did go back to dance and this past spring I rode my bike everywhere. I don't know why I can't say to him that I've moved on and wish him well.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntI'm guessing that you and he have been intimate in the past.... and that he's probably not "seeing" anyone now... (maybe has just gone through a breakup) AND he's horny.... and he's checking to see if you're will to sell your soul (and any prospective relationship you might have had with the poor sort who you've "....been exclusive with this guy for 6 months now....")

It's your call..... What is your soul made of?

Good luck....

So_Very_Confused agony auntonly YOU know if you want him.

maybe what you want is him WANTING you.

are you willing to risk your current relationship with a guy that's on and off with you?

Ask him. You obviously still have some sort of feelings and attraction to him and maybe he does also. You said he's been platonic. Theres nothing wrong with talking to exs unless you feel guilty because you desire him. Do you date him again? Don't remain in a relationship if you have doubts about the other man. It's unfair to everybody including you. Free yourself and explore until you're sure.

Why bother.....if your in a relationship then focus on that.I bet you would be upset if your fella was emailing a girl this way.

If your boyfriend isn't enough for you then finish it, but I wouldnt expect the other man to be there for you.He's probably just passing time, seeing if he can split you up maybe and by responding your playing into his hands.
