We were going out for 8 months, broke up about a year ago, and now I'm in college and he's still in high school as a senior. We talked online for the first time since the beginning of this semester and I initiated the conversation because I was curious about where he was headed next year, which ironically is where I'm at right now.
Anyway I figured I'd be bothering him because he wouldn't really want to talk to an ex, but we talked inadvertently for over 2 hours before I had to go to bed.
I told him that I thought of texting him and that I didn't because I didn't want to bother him same with iming, but he said that I was never a bother and it was great to talk to me again.
It sounds like he's ready to be friends again, right? I thought most guys didn't like to keep friendships with their exs, but from what he said maybe I'm wrong...
