First off, i have been dating and trying to keep busy.

Was with my ex for 3 and a half years..it was petty stuff i think that broke us apart.. fighting over things i regret.. no one cheated.. we did have alot of love.. he broke it off... a year later i leave him a vmail and he calls me back right away and i tell him all these regrets after a few minutes.. basically he said he couldnt just jump back into this which was understandable and that he needs to straighten other things out and also just get his head together for this.

We have been talking for months having long convos etc. I am in my mid 20's and only just got my permit a few days ago due to my dad's insurance being raised etc and money. So i told him i was going to get it and i actually got it friday rather than this week. He called last night to wish me luck not knowing i already took it. I did joke about him teaching me and how he should be doing it and he said my father would probably want to do all that stuff; he would probably be insulted if he didnt.

I felt a little sad with him not even saying we'll see as kind of the possibility of one day soon he could teach me b.c i basically won't be allowed to drive my father's car anyway so its not about him teaching me.

The next time we spoke, i texted him about a price for a driving lesson..he called an hour later or so and said i saw your text (it was $37 for 45 min) and he joked saying i will give a whole hour for $35. And i kinda joked back like what? it should be nothing, what happened to generosity. I'm nice to you etc and i said i would give him $10. It went back and forth for a minute or two and we started talking about something else.. He did ask after how come my good friend so and so can't teach me and i said she is really busy with her schedule and he mentioned my friend's b/f and i said its ok i'm gonna take the lessons and maybe ask someone from softball to help..hopefully he doesnt think i was tryng to make him jealous b/c its a coed team. He said ok.

I think he sort of slipped as well with his words. He used to call me honey and i joked do you think i will be a good driver? and he jokingly said(it was a joke so no offense to anyone reading) no, women aren't good drivers honey. I kept talking as if i didn't hear b/c i didn't want to make him pull back after that but i'm pretty sure he said honey by accident which hasn't happened at all since we were together.

Should i have pushed the subject with him teaching me to drive? Or it was good i left it alone?

sugarplum786 agony auntHe is not taking the bait you are offering-do not push it. Are you sure he is not seeing someone else? He might just be nice to you as a friend and if he wants more would take any excuse to see or be with you. Sorry hun - you need to move on.

for me much better not to give much more attention on that little coversation and left it alone. I think he just want to play with you...And if the guy really want you, he will do something to get your full atttention and i think pushing him to teach you to drive is kinda of flirting...
