Why?

He just IMed me, out of nowhere, after months of ignoring me.
All he said was "how are you?"
When I responsed that I was good, he never responded back.
WTF was that all about????

He was feeling you out. He was wanting you to say something about missing him or making a mistake or whatever. When you didn't respond that way, he probably thought it was better to just move on and forget about it again.

What a jerk. I hope that doesn't offend you and maybe he's not a jerk but that seems really insensitive to me. If you love someone don't you leave them alone to heal and not poke the bear?

He is definitely showing himself to be a jerk.
I'm right back to where I was. Waiting for him to contact me again.
I was getting to the point where I wasn't excpetcting and waiting for that anymore

I'm sorry. I know how that feels. Its like someone walked up behind you and kicked you in the back of your knees. What he did was cruel and that's not love.

Because I'm an idiot.
That and because I thought maybe he wanted to have an actual conversation

People can be pretty cruel and selfish. What an arsehole.

Im glad we are talking about this cause my x use to do that when we wasnt together and I perfer a phone call. I'm not going to answer to any text if he does it. I might tell him that if he texts me. Something like....Dont text me. it is just something weird about a text when we have not talked in a while

They always come back, huh. I still wonder if mine will, though after six weeks I kinda doubt it at this point. All for the best, though I can't help thinking about it still.

Ugh.

I smell games. He should've dusted off that Playstation or whatever gaming console he's into and busied himself with that instead. I'm sorry that he did that to you.

You're doing well without him. That's the only thing that matters.

I would say ignore too. He is either playing games, or he is honestly indifferently curious about how you are doing. Either way, it is not worth finding out for sure.

He's trying to see if he can still pull your strings. It may hurt....a lot, but you will be happy later...ignore him. Throw out anything you have that reminds you of him. Take him of your IM, facebook, my space or whatever else you kids are on. Once you have done that, go out do things that you wanted to do, but never had the time to. Before you know it, you would start to wonder what you were thinking waiting for this jerk to call. Trust me, you're good without him, and it's a good thing you replied. Atleast, he knows you're ok without him, and you're a decent human being.
