Why would an ex add you on Facebook?

Question

My former boyfriend and I broke up last winter and we haven't spoken since. A few days ago he told one of my friends he would like to get me back and this morning when I opened my e-mail, I saw I had a friend request from him.

I know it's just Facebook and it doesn't mean anything, but ... should I accept?

Answer 1

yes add him it's always nice to be friends with an ex.  Just because it didn't work out romantically doesn't mean you can't be friends!

Answer 2

Depends on how it ended  I feel. He may be wanting to reunite and he may be wanting to watch your activity to see on there who you chat with and if there is anyone he would see as a "threat" if he wants you back. If you did the break up I'd suggest not to add him as that can only cause trouble for you if you look to move ahead instead with someone new. He can see what you post on your profile, status,etc. He may not be over you yet and not willing to just let you go then.

I feel if he did the break up though that could be a different story. He may either want you to see he has moved on then or to try to strike up some conversation with you there to show others you may still be involved. You know him enough to see his motives or should with this.

Answer 3

maybe he is lonely and just wants to have a good time or maybe he is serious.who knows! but you know why you broke up with him and if you think that you can live with him after what you guys went through then contact him. and if you feel doubtful then forget about it.

Answer 4

I would, out of curiosity. You don't have to say anything to him if you don't want to and you could always remove him if it does become awkward.

Answer 5

yes, he's your ex, u don't have to talk to him if u don't wanna
