Me and my ex went out for 6 months last year and we've been broken up for 9 months were still really good friends. I told him I stilled liked him the other say. He texted me "I LOVE YOU" I knew he was joking again to upset me so I said eww he called and said if u like me why'd you say ew, then he said I joking I don't love you? Don't you think that's ****** up? And I know I'm stupid for 1. Being his friend still 2. Telling him I stilled like him but he's like my only friend and we are so much alike and I have no other friends really and I just had to get off my chest... but isn't that messed up why is he doing tjhat does he like me or is he trying to upset me he makes mee jelous its ovious and he trys his hardest to he my attention/make me laugh we play footssys I I know, lol he calls me all the tinme and says "because I was board" but yet he dosnt call anyone else but then he calls me a whore withch I'm not bc I dress very coverd etc. So what is this does he like me or what's from a guys point of view?
