Does he want me back?
Fri, 02-06-2004 - 2:24am
My ex and I broke up two months ago. I stopped all contact with him for about a month and a half. We have mutual friends in common, and he began to come over when I was at their house. We are both college students, and he is in one of my classes with me. He has been staring at me in class ("he can't take his eyes off you" is what my friend told me) and has been making it a point to come over and talk to me. We have seen each other out socially a few times and he always comes to me and talks to me or waves me over to him. I talked to my friend about him and she told me that he said "I stared at her the first day to see if she would stare at me, but she didn't so I guess she is ignoring me."

This has been going on for a few weeks. Last week I went out with one of my guy friends to a local bar--and of course we were spotted by a few of his friends. A few days later I was out at another bar where a mutual friend of mine and my ex's was playing and my ex waved me over to his table. We talked for a few minutes and my girlfriend decided to sit in a booth, so we left. A little while later I overhear my ex talking to one of his guy friends--one who spotted me with my guy friend a few nights before. I hear them mention the guy that I was out with and my ex appeared angry. About five minutes later he comes up to me and talks to me for a few minutes. Again, my girlfriend interrupts us and we go back to our booth. A short time later my ex left. His roommate told me that he said "I guess she is getting the message that it is over." However, I have not been seeking him out, he has been coming to me. He was the one who broke up with me, but now he seems like he is angry with me for not continuing to chase him. What is up with this guy? My best friend who has known him for years is convinced that he is not over me and that he wants me back. What should I do?

Here is another interesting piece of info--in a month our class will travel for about a week. This will mean constant contact between us for the entire trip. Should I try to get back with him on this trip?? HELPPPPPP!!!!
