My ex and I have been broken up now for over 6 weeks. I contacted him at the end of no contact on 8/11. I received a response but it was rather lukewarm.
Then last week, he texted me out of the blue. We chatted back and forth for a few days. He was being very sweet and a bit flirtatious but nothing crazy. The last time we texted was on Saturday and he asked if I’d like to get together for dinner later this week. I said sure and let him know my availability. He said we would figure something out.
It’s now Wednesday and I’ve heard nothing from him. I told him I could meet on either Thursday or Friday. Should I follow up and ask or just wait for him to follow up?
He is a good man and I don’t believe he’s game playing but have to admit I’m frustrated that he hasn’t reached out to follow up yet. He knows I’m a planner and he is as well.
The whole reason for him ending it with me was that he was scared of failing at another relationship. He’s been married/divorced twice and he was scared of another failure. We always had a kind, loving relationship. He fell into a pretty bad depression around that time as well.
While I’m trying to be patient, I also don’t want to play some cat and mouse game.
