Hello all...

I joined as I have a question to ask with regards to my 'x' and was hoping for some good advice from here.

I split with my 'x' about three months ago, we decided to remain friends, however we never stayed in contact. I have thought about them on and off during the last three months so decided to text her to see how she was, got a reply, so asked if they would like to maybe meet up at the weekend, they said they were busy (i did text on Thursday) but could do sometime during the week - so we arranged to meet up if I was free then.

On the day we were due to meet I text to ask if I should come over to hers, got reply saying it was too nice a nite and we should meet near a place where we could go for a walk, as you know the weather has been great this week! I should point out this place isn't too far from her house, so thought to myself should we not have just met there - however in saying that she even drove to the place to meet me, so perhaps she couldn't be bothered to walk there.

Anyway we went for a walk, general small chat, was nice, I then asked her why she thought we broke up, she said she didn't feel I was interested and sometimes made her feel bad about herself, not in a nasty way, just the way I acted I guess. During this we covered other stuff, i.e. had she seen anyone etc, she said she hadn't but wasn't really looking as wasn't in the right place however she was out on Saturday and was asked out by someone and some other lad tried to kiss her - thanks for telling me that.

I then asked her if she ever went back out with someone, surly this makes it clear that I am interested? She said that she did once in the past, again I thought we'll if you really wanted to give me the brush off you would have just said no?!

We chatted about some other stuff, i.e. had I seen anyone etc, I said no and told her it was because it took me a while to get over her and also I wasn't really looking. She is due to go abroad for a month and when asking if she was seeing anyone she said she wouldn't want to start anything till after she came back - fair enough.

Anyway, sitting in last nite so decided to text her as I knew she was off for the day, texts went like

Me: "You have a nice day off?"

Her: "Yeah, killed myself working though then gymmed it so am kinda knackered, great day though, long may they continue"

Me: "Yeah, lovely day to have off, Thanks for last nite btw, was nice to see you again"

Her:"You too we won't leave it as long next time"

Me: "I hope not"

I get from the texts that she doesn't seem too keen, as she did explain she doesn't want to start anything.

After we finished the walk I asked if she wanted to head to the local pub for a drink, she said yeah, I told her that if she didn't want to she really didn't need to, she said that if she didn't want to come along tonite she wouldn't have.

I am just confused I guess as to what could happen, I can't really read the signals too well, and not sure if we should try to be friends and then see if anything comes of it when she gets back from her holidays, or If I am making a bit of a fool out of myself?!

We are suppose to meet up in a couple of weeks for dinner for her birthday, she said we def would, but I can't help think if she just said this. She was never the best at times coming across in texts and they often seemed closed messages, i.e. ones that were hard to repsond to.

I was planning on texting at the beginning of next week to see if she wants to maybe go to pics or see dvd, depending on response from this it mite give me some idea. However sometimes I feel she is just doing it to be nice.

Any suggestions?

Apologies for such a long post!
