Question - (25 December 2012) 3 Answers - (Newest, 26 December 2012)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I recently ended things with a guy I was seeing because he wasn't ready to see me exclusively.

It was hard at first, I really did like him, but with time ill be ok. The thing is though even though we are not together anymore, he will still text me.

Why is he doing that? why bother to keep in touch when he knows what my feelings are?

I wanted a commitment and he couldn't give that to me.

I'm not going to lie, a huge part if me is hoping the continuous texting means he still wants me, that he still cares and that he's willing to try and see where things with us could go.

I understand this isn't a reasonable or realistic hope but I can't help myself.

A reader, anonymous, writes (26 December 2012):

He wants you but not in the way you want him. You're a good ego stroke for him. If you had any common sense you'd tell him to stop texting you. He's not going to suddenly want a relationship. How are you going to feel when he does meet somebody he wants to be with?

He still wants you.

As to the rest unless his texts say, "I care about you and I am prepared to be exclusive", then don't get your hopes up. And to be honest even if they did, wait for more proof, than a text, before your book the church.

he is hoping to rekindle what sounds like it was lots of fun...for him. you did the right thing and YOU KNOW IT. can u block his number? self control can only carry you so far. I would avoid letting him sweet talk you back into a shoddy situation x good luck
