Hi everyone!
My ex-situationship has been confusing me lately. We're friends (sorta) we hang out in group settings since we have mutuals (which is how we met). It has been a few months since we mutually broke things off. However, when he sees me he makes it an effort to have a full on conversation, especially in person. We have not really hungout one on one since the break off. Online/ over insta dms he's kinda distant.
This past week, I was leaving the library at my university as soon as he was walking in (weird coincidence- I know!) He asked me how I was doing and reeled me into a convo, and of course I fell hook line and sinker. Then he asked if I was going back to my dorm (he lives in the same one) and when I said yes, he said he'd walk with me. Mind you, literally just walked in. We chatted the way back and he does not typically take the elevator but when he was with me (he allowed me to go in first- how kind!). I pressed his floor number and mentioned that it was my favorite number, he made a face knowing that he should have remembered that. When I asked him what his was, he said my floor number (coincidence? I think not.).
Then after that, he said he will "catch me later" and made a large waving gesture as he walked out, that even stopped the elevator from closing. A few minutes later he sends me an instagram dm with his phone number and under it he said "if you ever want to text me". Our first go around if you will, we only got to instagram dms. Now he's giving me his phone number?? I texted it and he took a long time to respond, and he's continuing to take a long time to respond. Bad texting habits? I have not seen him in person since he gave me his number, though I really want to. I was wondering if someone could see this from a different lens and either feed or stop my delusions.
TL;DR: My ex-situationship gave me his number after only having his instagram.
