I feel like an idiot for not being able to make a decision on my own about this or my ex, but i was just wondering something.

 

There is this computer program that my ex is a whiz at. I really want to know if there is something specific it can do, and I have asked a whole bunch of people and searched the website and the program itself and have not found out if its possible or not, but it seems like it would be. I want to ask my ex if its possible, just a short e-mail asking if it is.

 

Is this stupid? I'm afraid he'll be annoyed with me or think I'm bothering him. As of right now I'd say I'm in an okay place about things, I care about him but its not a big deal...if he got a new girlfriend I might be upset for 5 minutes and get over it. I'm just mostly upset at the way he acts towards me.

 

He seems unable to hold a conversation with me within a group setting (he tried once and got really embarrassed, red and stammered and I ended up leaving because I felt uncomfortable), continues to stare at me almost creepily, etc. I had a conversation with him about everything and he was more than willing to sit down with me for over an hour discussing why things are awkward and if he wants to pursue a friendship. He told me he missed me and loves seeing me around but was not interested in pursuing a friendship at the moment, but possibly later. He's invited me to two parties, but acted the same weird way at the first one, so I didn't even bother to show up at the second one because his presence is like looming. Meanwhile he's starting to become friends with all of my friends...and its just weird. he dumped me 11 months ago and actually IS friends with all of his exes, including his rebound, EXCEPT me.

 

At any rate, before we had the talk and I requested to be just friends, he was helping me with my computer, but he was really weird about it and it took him a long time to answer my questions but he would.

 

Would it be stupid to ask him? I've exhausted all of my resources on this, so i'm convinced its not me trying to see if he'll talk to me. I was just going to send him a one liner saying "Hey, is such and such possible, and if so, can you tell me how to do it or point me toward a website that tells me how to do it? Thanks. -Me."

 

Would that be bothersome and stupid considering his behavior?

youre upset at the way he acts toward you, yet youre opening up a line of communication. i wouldn't do it. youre using him for computer knowledge but aren't really friends, because it's all awkward/strained? don't bother.

It's worth a try if you badly want to know.

well, he dumped me almost a year ago and has expressed an interest in things being normal, saying that enough time has elapsed that it should be normal, but for some reason its not. i've acted normal...so at this point, I don't even know.
