Okay it's kind of a long story, but i will try and make it as short as poss.
So i went out with my ex boyfriend (lets call him tom) and we split up 8 months ago. This was due to me being overprotective as i got annoyed and in a state about a girl trying to hit on him, it was all such a blur and i ended it. A few days after we got back together but not officially, he ended it a week later for good.
Since then we have both had another relationship but they ended badly, however i have never been able to get over tom, even when i thought i had moved on to a different relationship, i still thought about him most nights and cried because i regret leaving him.
We did not talk at all for about 6 months as we had had arguements and just left eachother to it to stop making things worse.
I found out he had got into the army after all his hard work so i thought i would inbox him on fb saying congratulations, as i know how hard he worked for it. He replied and we started talking again. We both apologised for being bitchy to eachother in the past and agreed to start fresh and be mature about it.
Since then we have become a lot closer and i met him for the first time a couple of weeks ago in about 6 months for a catch up. He was telling me about how he wants a bit of fun before he leaves for the army in 6 weeks and i agreed that it would be a good thing to do and that committed relationships at this time would be silly as he would not be here at all for her. We then kind of agreed to be friends with benefits, and that day we kissed and i felt no butterflies etc so i thought i was over him completely. I knew what i was getting myself in to but i want a bit of summer fun too, no regrets or commitment.
He also helped me out with my recent ex bf trouble as he had been saying harsh things about me and i was getting low about it, especially my looks etc.
Since then we have had sex and he only has 4 weeks left, we have gotten a lot closer still and admitted how we are close friends. We talk almost every day and have a laugh all the time, he always knows how to make me laugh and when i am down.
I put as a status a friendship quote, he then texted me saying how he was always there for me and how i am beautiful. - since then he has also called me gorgeous a few times.
I want to know if he might just be saying this to make me feel better about myself or whether he still might have feelings for me?
He respects me, does not mess me around and knows how i regret breaking up with him but i dont think he knows that im still madly in love with him, i have now realised that i am.
He also told me how he knows that i should be treated as a princess but was sorry he couldnt be the one to do that as it was not fair because he was going off to the army and i will hardly see him again.
I'm so confused, he has become such an amazing friend and i have fallen madly for him again. After all the bad things i said to him, he still gives me the time of day, listens and helps me out.
What do you think he may be feeling towards me, if he is feeling anything at all?
Help, im so confused.
