So about three years ago, I dated this guy. He was a good boyfriend and he cared so much about me. But ready for this? I ended things. Years later, I still don’t know why. I think I was too young and I was afraid, maybe? I don’t know. Over the years our paths have crossed a little bit but nothing major. However, recently we started talking again and even made plans to see each other. I didn’t expect to feel anything besides just happiness that we were friendly again. But that night we spent hours together and it just felt normal and really nice.

It would have been nice to keep things that way and remain friends, but things progressed. I was scared again – but this time because I didn’t know how he felt. I could have sworn he felt something too, but he said he wasn’t looking for a relationship. Which, to be honest, I wasn’t either. I don’t know if that means he doesn’t have any feelings at all, but I never told him how I felt either. We saw each other again but it wasn’t the same. That was just a few weeks ago. We kept in touch, but I feel as though he’s losing interest in me and the friendship entirely.

A lot is going on in his life right now. I’m not sure if he’s just very occupied or if he’s just not interested in moving forward with me in his life. I know these are questions to ask him, but I feel as though I’ve already asked enough and I don’t want to overcomplicate things. So I’m wondering … was it even a good idea to re-enter each other’s lives, knowing our history? Also, what do I do now? Should I give him space, as he is very busy, or decide to mentally walk away? Or physically walk away? I don’t know if I want to. I believe there was always something between us, but what if he doesn’t think that? I still feel guilty for breaking his heart years ago. But I feel like … I let someone/something go that was very special years ago, and now it’s too late to bring back. Or is it?
