What is he trying to do?

[sneakycat]

We only dated for a month but it was very intense. After that he told me he has been talking to an ex and thinks they might try giving it another chance and he doesn't want to lead me on. We ended on pretty good terms (I did drunk text him that I really liked him and that if he ever wants to try again he should let me know to which he hasn't responded but I can't really blame him). For 2 months we had no contact whatsoever since we met at a dating site and have no mutual friends. Now suddenly for the past week he starts liking my old pictures on facebook, inviting me on instagram, liking my photos there and snapchatting me yet hasn't messaged me. We are both 23.

As far as I know it didn't work out with him and the ex. What is he trying to achieve by getting my attention? Should I wait for him to get in touch with me?

I would definitely want to give it another chance but I'm not sure what he is trying to do and if it's an indication of interest. Should I contact him?

His ex ditched him again so he's hoping you waited for him in the meantime. Unless you are fine with FWB/f-buddies only you really shouldn't contact him, his mind is still stuck on his ex and that won't change the next few months.

I agree with the above. At BEST, he's using you as a rebound... someone to *casually date* while he waits to see if his ex comes back.

 

At worst.... you're just FWB.

 

Look, it was only a month. I know it's hard when you feel a strong connection with someone, but this guy was never available -- he was just using you to get over a breakup.

 

Cut him off on Facebook and Instagram and every other site you use! Don't make yourself a convenience and SEVER the artificial sense of online connectedness.... IF he's ever going to properly court you, he should have to do a lot more work than just hit a "like" button!
