    Ex messing me around
    I just don't know what to do.

    We broke up a few months ago, but he's said on and off that he still has feelings for me.

    Recently he's said he does, but now has all of a sudden changed his mind again.

    I just want someone to talk to, I feel so sad

    He is your ex for a reason. If he's messing you around, steer clear. It's not worth the hassle, regardless of his feelings, or even yours.

    Awh, you can come talk to me

    I have experienced this with my ex too :s You need to confront him and just ask him. Make the point, about him changing his mind, he needs to be sure whether he loves you or whether it's lust.

    He's just so confusing =/

    I wish he'd make his mind up. If he said outright he didn't want me, that'd be fine, if he said he wanted me, that'd be fine, but to have a constant pull back and forth is really upsetting me

    when he says he likes you: he's horny
    when he says he doesn't like you: he's just knocked one off

    Overall: he doesn't *actually* want you back, he's just a nobhead, forget about him, move on, don't let him get you down!!

    You've got to stop going back and forth. Seriously, you need to ask him once more, that's it. If he says no, then go, leave him, don't bother with him, and if he texts you, ignore him. You don't deserve to be played around with. Just be straight and confronting. I know it's hard, and I made it clear with my ex, earlier this week. PM if you want to know full details, don't really want to talk about it on forum, but seriously, confront him because you don't deserve this at all. You deserve much better.

    I've been there and i know it's seriosuly painful at times. You may not want to hear it but you have to think do you really want to be with a guy that does this to you? You need to be strong for yourself and say enough. Leave him be and let him know when he next says it, he has feelings for you, but you're no longer interested and would appreciate of he kept such feelings to himself in the future

    Re: Ex messing me around
    I don't think you should even bother asking him what he wants, because it's obvious that he doesn't know what he wants with all the back and forth. decide what you want, and stick with it. personally, I'd steer clear.

    I'd be like this with mine if i wasn't bent on being single for a few yrs but sometimes i wanna be with her and sometimes i don't. When we fight i tell her i don't want her, when we're making up i tell her i want her in a few yrs, she seems the same...except she has a bf

    Surely this is the single most grating phrase ever invented
