<p>I am a 16 yr old girl who recently broke up with my BF. No big drama involved; I was just tired of it and wanted to be single. He was upset but when I ended the call, I thought we were both OK with things. So, about 10 days have gone by and I have not texted or called him because I figured he needed some space. Yesterday I got a text from him and I was really happy because I assumed this meant everything was cool between us. My best friend told me I was crazy to beleive that; she thinks the text means he would like to try and get back together with me. So, from a teenage guys perspective, please help me figure this out. Do guys text ex girlfriends ? I know this probably sounds lame but I don't have a lot of dating experience and I go to an all girls boarding school so I am rather clueless.</p>
<p>it depends on the type of relationship you guys had… if you had a pretty strong physical relationship he may be texting you well for reasons other than getting back together but otherwise it probably does mean he still has some feelings for you</p>
<p>Well, I am at boarding school so there isn’t a really strong physical relationship! We didn’t get to see each other all that often. In your opinion, what is the best way to handle all of this?</p>
<p>Have you considered…asking him what his intentions are?</p>
<p>First, when you get back with an ex, it usually doesn’t work out. He might like you, but if you don’t want to date him, so what. He’ll get over it and move on. Or he might just want to date you until break/summer/end of school in hopes that he’ll “get some.”</p>
<p>I assumed he was texting me because he wanted to remain friends. (that is what i would like). My friend said that was probably not his reason for texting. I was just trying to get some opinions from guys. I think it would be kinda weird to ask him what his intentions are but I guess I may have to do just that…thanks for the input.</p>
<p>I don’t know about asking his intentions right away.
I’d just be really friendly to him, and if he seems to try to get back, just say that you don’t really want a relationship very politely</p>
<p>Wait…do you both go to boarding school or is this a long distance thing?</p>
<p>I board; he is in a day school close by and we would see each other on weekends.
But really, I don’t think that is the issue. Honestly, I just want to know if most guys text their ex gf’s just to stay in touch and be friends or do most guys only text the ex gf if they want to get back together again. I don’t think it matters if you are at a public or private school. :)</p>
<p>Oh, I didn’t mean that it mattered what school you guys went to, just that it’s a different story if you don’t go to the same school. You don’t know who he’s also hitting on at his school. </p>
<p>I think, as a general rule of thumb, that it’s natural for you guys to return to being friends if you were friends before you started dating. Otherwise, he may just be looking for a booty call.</p>
<p>ok im not a guy but for my most recent ex we dated for a year and when we ended things we both knew it was over and so we talked and texted still and we remain friends</p>
<p>so i think it depends on how close you guys are.</p>
<p>This guy sounds like either a loser or creep. Stay away from him.</p>
<p>From my perspective (Even though I’ve never been in a relationship)</p>
<p>It honestly depends how he felt after you guys broke up. If he feels the same way you do, then there’s no harm/intentions in the text; he just wants to be friends.</p>
<p>However, if he feels depressed/angry, it may not be so good…</p>
<p>You’d have to post more details. But I would not say it’s impossible he doesn’t want to get back together again.</p>
<p>Some guys just do it to “patch things up” and prove that you guys are “friends” again.</p>
<p>There really aren’t more details…we were not friends before we started dating. I broke up with him cuz I just wasn’t into having a relationship anymore. He was upset and did not want to break up but he said he understood. I told him I hoped we could be friends. That was how I ended my phone call. So a week later he is texting me, asking how I am. I am assuming he truly does want to maintain a friendship but my best friend feels this is not the case. She thinks it is too early for him to " be over it" and believes he wants to try and patch things up. I am just getting other opinions so I know how to handle myself when I speak to him again. Thanks!</p>
<p>Are you interested in a Different guy right now? If not, I don’t see the harm in talking to this guy. If you ever feel like it’s going too far, then just tell him. At least… That’s probably how I’d like it to work.</p>
