I (29F) was seeing Liam (28M) from Jan-Feb earlier this year. We never labeled but we weren’t official official but were exclusive. Things were moving fast and I freaked out and broke it off. I have a history of abusive boyfriends and my last relationship ended in September. The relationship in September ended abruptly and came out of no where at the time. I was still working through the last breakup when I met Liam.
Liam treated me like an actual person, made reservations and bought me flowers. No one has ever bought me flowers before and it was completely new for me. He would tell me everything that he was thinking and never left me wondering what he was thinking. I started to worry that I wasn’t able to show up for him and that’s when I broke it off at the end of February.
After a month I realized I was wrong and I reached out to talk. I asked him to talk about some things and I gave him my speech. I asked if he would give our relationship a second chance and he said he would be willing to give it a second chance but I had some things I needed to work on. This is where I think I messed up, I told him not to wait for me. I started working harder with my therapist and challenged myself.
Liam and I began texting regularly throughout April. It seemed that we had a good friendship starting. He was sending me texts like this made me think of you and even one night he needed to talk to someone(I was asleep but texted him in the morning) I then asked him to hangout and he said sure.
He came over last week and brought me a care package(I hurt my knee and was having trouble getting around) the talk was going nice. Then he drops that he’s met someone and has been seeing them for the past month. I was shocked and I’m still upset. I told him that it was crazy that he’s been texting me the way he has and even came over to see me. He said he was sorry and he didn’t know I still had feelings for him. I’ve sent him a pretty heavy message saying I need him back in my life and that I was sorry for before.
Did he lead me on? Does he still have feelings for me but is just too scared because I hurt him?
