I have an ex (my first boyfriend) that I dated 5 years ago. The relationship lasted for about 2 years. Before that, we were best of friends. When the relationship started going downhill we broke up. Well, he broke up with me - the second time. It finally ended but we both were not ready to move on. We slept together on and off. He basically strung me along until I had enough. Very quickly after that, he went out with an ex-girlfriend of a friend (call him "T") in our "friend circle". Things between my ex and T went sour obliviously.
Anyway, I am now dating T (T and I were friends w benefits at first). We've been dating for a little over a year so it's pretty serious. However my ex and the girlfriend recently broke up. I heard about it and decided it would be a good time to contact him and regain his friendship (he stopped contacting me when he was with her). All I want is friendship. He was so fun when we were friends...
I called him up and we agreed to have dinner together. My bf "T" wasn't thrilled but he respected me being honest and open with him about it. My ex and I had a blast. He was very nice and even a little nervous (totally different when we were just friends w benefits). I felt the tables turn a little bit and he seemed like he was trying to impress me... Afterwards he texted me that he was happy to see me again.
Skip to now and I'm on IM trying to decide whether to say hi or not. I honestly miss talking to him. He has been quiet since that time we went out. So I wonder what is going through his mind...???
Anyone ever had a similar experience? ... where you feel you are the only one wanting to contact and regain a friendship?
