Why did he get back in touch?

Question

Dumb useless question but hey I'm female, bored and over analysing.

Old mate and I were pretty wild together many years ago, finished in a pretty unresolved way for both of us, but was all a long time ago, life moves on.

Seven years on he has gotten on facebook and looked me up. I know for a fact there are other people on there who he's in regular contact with but he hasn't added them so far. He would be able to see from my status I'm in a relationship now. He chose to send me a private message to say hello. So, which of the following would you think is most likely:

a) it's been seven years, clearly I'm in a relationship, it's 'safe' to get back in touch with me and have that fabulous freindship we had again.

b) He's a guy - he's gotta be interested in 'something'

Answer 1

Just go s***w the guy like you want to and stop being silly.  

Answer 2

Answer B......Also be care full with this.  How would your new BF feel about you talking with an old flame?

Answer 3

The "private message" part is raising my hackles (along with all sorts of red flags).  

He *might* want to recapture that fabulous friendship he had with you, but I have to be honest and say he's probably out for whatever he thinks he can get (from the "pretty wild together" description you gave).

Good luck, but don't do anything you have to hide from your current relationship.

Answer 4

You're female, bored and over analyzing.

He just said hello. End of story.

Answer 5

Neither one! I think he is free and remembered you. Its up to you if you have a friendship with him but you need to count the cost. Is he worth it?

Answer 6

i say its "b"

he is trying to start "something" back up again!
