Moving on!

i'm new to this site so hope i've gone about this the correct way. i was seeing a friend of mine for a few months and we broke up (he did it by text, nice guy). we got back together a few weeks later but it didnt work out again (me this time). we are basically in contact daily by email and text since we started going out (Dec 07). i still have feeling for him but i decided that the only way to get over them was to break the contact (not totally but cut it down to once or twice a week). when i suggested this to him, he was asking why and what were my reasons etc etc. in the end, i backed down and said that it was only a suggestion and that we would leave it as it had been. but now its gotten worse, the contact is from 8/9am in the morning until i finish work at 5pm. Then he texts me at about 9 or 10 at night. i know that i should just not reply but that is easier said that done. i just want to know what ye think? is he still interested/wants to get back together? or is it he just doesnt want me to move on. i have been with people since which he doesnt know about. can you please give me some advice.

Sometimes people need to get a firm grip on a new relationship before they can actually let go of the last one. I've heard it explained as a monkey swinging from one branch to another. Which could be the case for him. Or he could be wanting to stay friends with you. If you are friends then you should tell him about your other relationships. But if you are really over him and even though you have feelings for him you don't want to be with him. Then I would suggest the only way to get rid of those feelings would be to stop contact for a while. And I would tell him that you don't want to talk to him anymore because you have feelings, see what he says, he might surprise you!
