six18 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Why would or what are some reasons an ex would give you a gift out of the blue? I haven't really talked to my ex since august. He tried to break the ice a few times but it really didn't go anyplace. He will call me for ridiculous things claiming I am the only person he knew that could answer his question. I have not seen him since Sept. Then last Thursday night around midnight I get a text saying hey I got you something but I will send it you. So in the mail Monday I received this beautiful purse for 200 dollars. I said wow thanks! So I am not sure what he wants. He was never really a random act of kindness type guy. So I think I am confused more than anything bc he never bought me a gift in the two years we were together. why now? :confused::confused:
A fish in the sea Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 He's looking for an excuse to connect. Doesn't mean he wants to start dating again, but he's been missing you and wants to reach out. Except guys can't just call you up and say "I've missed you. Let's go out for coffee and catch up." My ex started doing this after 2 months NC. Suddenly, he was writing me for the weirdest things. He emailed me to tell me he was going to play on a different team at a tournament (I didn't ask.) Then he needed a book recommendation for a flight. Then he needed to know what time to come to practice for our sport (even though he's somehow managed to figure out practice times for the 14 years he's been playing on this team...) I was nice and friendly in my replies, and eventually he started texting about wanting to catch up. Then he invited me out for dinner. I'm guessing with the expensive gift, he's trying to say he still has feelings. If you want to reconnect, you should respond graciously, give him a call at least. But if he dumped you, make him do the work of asking you somewhere to catch up. If you dumped him, you probably should make the suggestion.
