Why would an ex-girlfriend contact me after 2 years? Then not respond again?

Question

After (2) years she finds me on facebook, (we’ve been broken up longer though). She sends me a friend request with no message.

I accepted and I wrote her a general “how you been,” message; she reply's back the same day, catching me up about her life, and asks about me; girls in my life, etc... (We’re both now single, myself recently). I replied back, (just light conversation); she hasn’t replied back since. Not really mad, just confused.

Why contact me to begin with? And why no response back after asking questions about me? (This is what is confusing me the most).

I would really appreciate all your non-biased peoples’ opinions, advice, personal experience, etc… about this.

It has only been 4 days since I have heard from her, but still, seems kind of weird. (If just wanted to be friends, why not reply back)?

(Background; very serious relationship lasting for about 2 plus years, over 3 years ago).

One thing I know, this doesn’t have to do with her wanting a high friend count on facebook.

Answer 1

She may still care and perhaps she is afraid that she will try to pick things up if she gets too close.

Answer 2

Well I wouldn't worry too much about it since it has only been 4 days she might be really busy. Of course no one besides her really knows why she messaged you and then didn't reply. But as a female, I would say perhaps she felt nostalgic at that moment and thought of you. Maybe she heard a song that reminded her of you and decided to contact you. And then once the feeling passed she might have thought "probably best if I leave things as they are" (depends on if things ended on good or bad terms). This is pure speculation, as I'm sure most answers will be. But it's just some insight.  

Answer 3

maybe she still feels something for you, and she is checking up on you.

Answer 4

I answered this a couple of days ago. Maybe she wanted to see how you are doing. I think the best thing to do is ask her. Email her and ask. Why she has not answered you. People do things for differet reasons. It depends on the dynamics of your relationship. If it ended badly then she might have some resentment. I hope you are doing well since this is always the best thing when you have moved on. It sounds like you still have feelings too. You need to sort all this out with her.

Good luck
