He Texted Me!?

[Algernon]

Yet another thread about my ex... Yesterday when we talked he said texting was going too fast for him and that he'd call in a few months. I get a text today..

"Happy Thanksgiving"
"Thanks, hope you have a good one too!"
"Are you at your Aunt Marlas?"
"No Tashas sisters."
"Oh well. Anyways, have a good night."
"Have fun, goodnight."

What was that about?! I'm getting really drained by this. Why did he want to know if I was at my Aunts? Does he miss me, does he want me back, is he playing games?

Come on...

I think you're looking into this a bit too much. I wouldn't go so far as to say that just wishing you a happy Thanksgiving means that he wants you back. It is a holiday, so he was probably just being friendly. I'm not sure why he asked if you were at your Aunt's, but I really just think he was just trying to be friendly and make sure there is no weirdness between you two for now.

I thought as much, It just makes me upset that he said he didn't want to text yesterday and now look. He's texting me.

I agree with Nicole. You're reading far too into it. He was being friendly, and he probably had sent out a mass text message of 'Happy Thanksgiving' to all his friends, wishing them to have a good day. Since you were together on last year's Thanksgiving, he was probably just asking where you were going to spend your Turkey Day. No harm, no foul. No hidden meanings.

Alright. Maybe you guys are right. I'll just have to see if he does the same in a few days.

I think it's hard to see the big picture when you're dealing with something so emotional. I think the texting was a good, friendly interaction. A positive sign, but I don't think it means a whole lot.

If you guys continue texting, however, then I'd say that's great! He probably does miss you in that case. I also think you can miss someone, and want to talk to someone, without wanting to be with that someone. It's complicated. I hope this works out for you though

No he probably just wants to have a conversation and can't think of anything to say so he will just say anything that occurs to his mind just to talk.
Nothing romantic cause he's probably shy and feeling awkward talking to you (since he's your ex).

Thank you for putting into words what I was thinking =)

I think that he just wanted to test the waters. To see if you would respond.

I wouldnt be surprised if he does it often. He wants to see if you are waiting around for him, which it seems you are.

I wouldnt respond to his texts, That will get him either mad, or obessive. He may continue to text you, or he may lash out; either way, you control the situation and he doesnt dictate how the conversation goes.

From what I've gathered from your previous threads, I believe that he is still communicating with you because he cares about you. As far as I know, the relationship you had with him lasted a long time and therefore he developed an emotional attachment to you. I don't know if he wants you back (which I can't say that there's no possibility), but I do think that he's talking to you because he knows that breaking up with you made you a vulnerable person and that he wants to let you down slowly rather than breaking up, ditching, and letting you solve your own emotional problems.
