A female reader, aunt honesty Ireland +, writes (7 January 2012):

aunt honesty agony auntYou got over him and you moved on and buried all of the old feelings, when you finally did see him again, some of these old feelings came back to you, and then you decided that you would strike up a friendship with him, which was the first wrong move on your part, as he is in the past and that is where he belongs. He then starts filling your head with all of his smooth talking telling you that he loves you and that he is waiting for you and this is bringing up old feelings in you and making you confused. This is normal because a lot of old feelings are being brought up here. But you are happy now and you realise that your ex did not treat you right. You need to cut contact with him now before this goes to far, tell him you want to end the friendship as it has made you uncomfortable and move on with your life, in time you will realise you made the right decision.

So_Very_Confused agony auntyou are thinking of him again because he stroked your ego when you saw him.
