My ex and I still sort of act like a couple, but he doesn't want to get back together…?
My ex and I still sort of act like a couple, but he doesn’t want to get back together…?
So I dated this guy for almost 11 months. We broke up. But, he’s my bestfriend, and my ex. It’s been about 3 weeks since the break.
Besides kissing, holding hands, hanging out outside of school etc., our relationship is basically the same. It confused a lot of people that we are such good friends, etc.
Since he’s my best friend, it’s hard to move on. And, we are referring to this as a temporary break, but with no ultimatum.
We broke up b/c he wasn’t "feeling it anymore". He said he didn’t love me anymore, but he still likes me. Like "crush" wise.
Also, I’ve noticed he’s been acting different around me. He often seems distracted. Unnatural, and forced, even though he reassures me he still likes me.
I know it’ll take time for a relationship to be possible, yet I’m confused with his mixed signals.
Also, he says he doesn’t want to start a relationship right now, because he doens’t want to commit. I understand that because we’re both really busy. His life is taken up by Drumline/Marching Band. And mine is taken up by Track/CC/Orchestra.
I know we need a break, I’m just afraid it’ll be permanent…
Help???
As a side note, he’s not a jerk, and he’s not using me or lying to me. He’s a respectable guy, otherwise we wouldn’t of dated for so long.

It’s unfair to you that he still wants to hang out a lot, says he has a crush on you feeling but not get back together. He either breaks up with you and not see you anymore or stay with you. If you give him the pleasure of being with him with no strings attached, he could settle for it and never get back together.
You guys need a clean break so that he and/or you can see how life is without each other. Maybe if he sees how bad it is without you, he’ll see his mistake and come back to you.
Since you are confused about his mixed feelings, you need to talk to him. I know it’s so cliche, but if you guys are really connected, you’ll get back together once the busy time is over.
