Ex trying to be friends? Or reaching out?

[ConfusedOrHurt]

My ex and I dated briefly about 6 months ago. It was a short relationship, but really meant a lot to me. He left me because he didn't feel we were "where we should be" at four months.

 

Over the last 6 months I have been working on myself and trying to date. Still haven't found anyone. My ex texted last week (first contact in over two months) asking how I am and how my family is. Then he asked for my best friend's husband's number because he wanted to go by their store for business. I replied politely (but nothing more). He continued to ask about my family (my mom is sick) and then said he'd pray for her.

 

Well, he stopped by my friends store that afternoon and talked to them and told them how great it was to see them, but never bought anything. The next day, I see on FB that he has a new girlfriend....

 

My heart hurts because any communication from him is hard for me. Why does he think it's ok to reach out to me and my best friends when he has a new girlfriend? I think he wants to be friends, but we don't really talk so I just don't get it.

I don't think he wants to be friends. He probably texted you to see if you were still willing to take the bait and speak to him.

Block him everywhere and especially Facebook. He's with someone else now so just focus on you

I agree. Block him so you won't stalk him on FB. Seems like he was just being polite asking about the family when all he really wanted was that phone number. Hope you feel better!
