What Would You Think?...

I'm curious as to what you'd think if you received the message which follows. Background: been seeing a guy, was going well until his ex told him she still had feelings for him, the night before Valentines Day. Despite sending me a card and having every intention of continuing to see me, he was a bit swayed by this and took some time to decide what he wanted to do. The dicision is evident, as you can tell. Also, the reference to the fleece is merely just that I borrowed it and returned it, and he has my t-shirt, which I want returning. And the opening statement refers to a comment I made when I bumped into him at the gym on Monday. Basically just wondering what you'd think if you received this message...Thanks for any replies

ok. am not wishing youd drop off the edge of the earth at all. and relax, you were so on edge when i saw you at the gym the other day. i will def get ur t shirt back to you dont worry, as much as i like wearing it. oh and my fleece still smells of you, its really nice actually. girl wise am kindof seeing that girl, not really sure exactly but theres something going on. not sure how long its going to last as we still have big issues with each other. would def still like to keep in touch tho, as was starting to really like you, we seemed to get on really well; but dont want to jeopardise that by ****ing you around now. that make sense? xx

I translate that as Him dating the other girl, But that they have a couple of issues, But he still wants to keep in contact with you just in case his other thing goes wrong. Seems a bit suss really, Hes trying to have it all.

First of all, you probably shouldn't post texts meant for your eyes only on the internet for the whole world to see.
Secondly, is this guy really that special that you would waste your time waiting for him to get bored of sha***ng his girlfriend, on the off chance he comes back to you in the end? He's just keeping his options open...and if you were actually seeing each other,I would consider this cheating.

Because i think trust is important - and reading that text she posted made me feel bad for the poor guy who sounded as though he was trying to be honest and got his life spread over this website....but feel free to post texts from complete bas***ds!

He wants to have his cake and eat it.

I would leave him alone, it's you who will get hurt in the long run.

he is clearly not committed to you girl! or he would not have gone straight back to this ex. i would suggest that you find another guy who appreciates you and is not so fickle!

i would think that he's with the other girl, but is keeping you on a string in case stuff with her goes wrong. i would say that he is, as such, a bit of a flange and you should stop worrying about him.
