We had been seeing each other for about 3/4 months when my Scorpio broke things off. He got really cold towards the end, he’d disappear for days and then make up excuses for it. It took being out of town for a month for him to finally tell me he didn’t see how things could work out between us. He told me he had been thinking it for a while but wasn’t completely sure, which is why he’d ignore me…. I got really upset and made the mistake of calling him repeatedly, going off on him, crying on the phone, then would beg him to meet up with me so we could talk about things.

Eventually he blocked my phone number so I sent him a really long message on instagram stating everything I felt I needed to tell him. He didn’t reply to that of course. Hadn't contacted him since then. I saw him at school once (he made small talk for a minute) but that was it. Now fast foward… recently I saw him on the bus and was too surprised/nervous to say hi. He called me when I got off (I was shocked again, never expected to get another call from him) asking how I was doing, and wanting to know about some guy on the bus that was flirting a bit. He had to get off the phone but later on he texts asking why I didn’t say hi.

A couple days later he’s asking if I "still" want to meet with him…. so we ended up meeting the next day and surprisingly he didn’t try to make a move on me, (we used to be very intimate whenever we were together) though he insisted we meet at his house and asked why I was hesitant to. He was friendly, gave me a hug and we chatted about a lot of things. We joked about our petty behavior on social media (blocking each other) and about how I’d still snoop through his accounts. He gave me some earrings in a little red box, he’d said he brought them for me while he was out of town. I almost melted then and there, lol. He also told me that he would sometimes show up at our school (although he had already dropped out) to try to bump into me. He always says he doesn’t care for phone communication.

When I left, I unblocked him and we liked a bunch of each other’s photos. He was sweet and made sure that I got home safe. I’m just not sure if he only wants to be friends or if maybe he wants to give us another shot? Should I ask him or tell him the truth about how I feel? I haven’t initiated contact so far as I’m trying to just let things flow and not do too much pursuing this time.

Don't melt. Make him earn your time and your devotion. He had it the first time around and dropped it with little consideration towards your feelings. Make him accountable.

People should get a clean slate the first time around. But if they give it away or fuck it up, they need to know they have to earn back what was once freely given to them. Otherwise they tend to take it for granted over and over.
This.

How do I go about doing this? Wait a few days in between replies? Should I ask to reschedule next time he wants to see me? Should I confront him and talk about what happened or just leave it alone for now?

OMG. Can't believe it's been 4 months since all this happened...

Update: He isn't pursuing me romantically and I'm not over him. We've gotten into a lot of drama over things, like me finding out what he was up to when he went out of town before we stopped talking. I tend to bring up our problems on social media (it's hard for me to communicate over the phone and in person) and every time he pops up after disappearing and getting mad at me, he acts like nothing's happened.

The last thing he told me was "I'm not avoiding you. I just don't see the point when our 'discussions' never go anywhere" in response to me asking if we could meet and talk it out face to face. I messaged him after that and asked him if that meant he'd rather we stop talking all together than try to resolve the issue but ended up deleting the reply and blocking him after I got no response. His response to me confronting him about the out of town girl and accusing him off tossing me to the side after he had sex with her was "Okay so I ain't shit. And if this is true, you've been knowing this. If you think I'm not worth it because of social media, then I suggest you cut me off. Seriously for your own good, why don't you just say f**k you and block me? I don't waste my time with people who aren't worth it. It's really f***ing simple, because your facts are not accurate and this is a very drawn out thing. Make a decision." I called him out for turning the situation around on me and said what I had to say but yeah, no response.

Later somehow we ended up talking normally as if it never happened even though nothing got resolved. I've seen him this week but he's yet to tell me how my facts aren't accurate.. which is probably my fault because I get anxious and I'm not the best communicator. I don't know to bring these things up when I haven't seen him in a while and he pops up acting up all sweet and stuff. Another thing, I stupidly agreed to have sex with him... I realize that was the worst idea. But thank God we haven't really had the chance to do anything other than kiss. He's busy all the time I guess so I haven't seen him that much and for those times, he either took me to get some food really quick or dropped me off somewhere.

I think I just need to have a long conversation with him about all of history and try to let him go for good... even though it's hard to even think about cutting him off completely. I know I'm going to feel worse in the end if I'm just holding on to something that was never real in the first place. 😐
