Message from ex, need help

[Sturmhouse]

It's day 14 of no contact for me. I get a message from my ex on AIM; "hey."

 

I message back, "hey."

 

I can see on my buddy list she had already signed off and it forwards messages to her mobile phone. I missed the message so I guess she waited and then didn't get an answer so she left.

 

I waited for a few minutes, then sent her another message, "Ok well I'm going to watch a movie, if you need me text my phone and I'll get back online."

 

I have this very strong suspicion she's going to tell me she's now in a relationship with the guy who was sweet talking her before the breakup. On the other hand, she was responsive to what I had to say about our issues, is very confused at the moment, and left the door open for reconciliation but said "For now the answer is no." I haven't said a word to her in 14 days, and have had lunch with her best friend and have been very positive. I've been working out (I'm already a health nut so it's hard for me to look any better than I already do) but doing well at my job and overall a nice vibe. I talked to her friend about what I've learned and how the problems are fixable but told her that I did not even want her to know we had lunch. I was friends with her before my ex was so I trust her, but you never know.

 

I don't really know what to think or what to say. I guess, I should just let her talk and then react, but should I even respond, or should I stick to no contact?

Uhh, from a females POV...if you want to talk to your ex, fine...just don't tell her you had lunch with her best friend, regardless of the prior relationships. Don't want her to jump to any conclusions.

Her best friend is the girlfriend of my roomate and best friend, and a co-captain of the swim team with me. It's cool.

Then I take it back.
