I am over my abusive ex whereas the boy that liked me went on with his life. Maybe I do not deserve a proper relationship?

A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Well I came out of an abusive relationship that lasted 3 years.

I've known a boy since I was 12-13 and he's a year older but he is so lovely and such a nice person, and he is very nice looking but I don't know if he's interested. When I started goin out with the abusive ex this boy said 'I never thought the long distance thing would work, but now I know it would have' (We live like 10 mins away on the train, but as none of us were driving at the time it seemed hard work but I did go and see him a lot just as friends).

We'd text each other a lot and he used to say 'I can't wait forever' and that as soon as we finish (He knew my ex was a nasty piece of work, even though I couldn't see it for myself) I should go see him again even as friends. He always said that he thought I was pretty and all that but now I'm confused.

As me and my ex have finished for a while I texted him sayin we'd finished and what is he up to and he said there's a girl he likes and is kind of getting with at the moment. So I was nice and texted him asking how she was and how they where doing but when he texted back he never mentioned her or anything and was asking me how do I know I'd still like him as we haven't seen each other properly for a while.

Recently he hasn't been texting me, so should I take it as he's not interested? I'm really confused because when I was with my ex he seemed really interested in me and wanted to see me. I know this might be stupid but my Mum knows him and his family and said he's always been a bit cold feet when push comes to shove even though his Mum always said how much he liked me, and that he'd be devastated that I had a boyfriend.

I am over my ex but maybe as he was so nasty to me, I feel like I need to be close with someone who is really nice? Or maybe I'm worried that I'll never find anyone else as he was emotionally and mentally abusive to me. I'm just finding it hard because maybe I don't deserve someone else and do you think that I should not text this boy again and wait and see if he texts me again?

Sorry if this is confusing.
