Text from Ex-boyfriend

tuskar1

In January I received a text from a ex-boyfriend i have not seem in three years saying he wanted to get in touch. Things did not finish on great terms between us but he is a good person and Out of suprise/shock to hear from him I texted him back to say he must have the wrong number. I having being getting signs to do with him for a while and feel it is only a matter of time before our paths cross in the city.

I am kind of embarressed/ashamed that I lied on text. Maybe I should have told him at time I did not want to get in touch with him. I wonder when he does realise that i lied to him and that its still my number what should i say to him if he gets in touch again .He was extremely good to me in the past and did not deserved to be lied to.

Not going changing my number as i have to many contacts on it.

Would you make contact to explain.

This is probably more suited to the personal issues forum but you can just say that someone wrote back off your phone if you run into them

He's probably already realised, Im sure he gets the message (no pun intended). If he doesnt then just say 'Sorry but I dont want to get back in contact, thanks, goodbye'

I am having difficultly reading through the lines here. Are you any way interested in getting in touch with him again? Like if you do bump into him, is it wholly the fact you send that text that's putting you off? It doesn't sound like you want to get into any kind of serious relationship with him (i'm also assuming he might) but would you be comfortable being friendly? Or meeting up once or twice?

If it is simply the embarrassment of being caught telling lies and you'd rather avoid the mortification of dealing with it in person, i'd suggest you text him, and either

tell the truth (kinda)
or lie - didn't cop it was actually him (unless he signed it with his full name).

Having said that, if he knows full well that was you that sent that text he probably resents you quite strongly and may not want anything to do with you at all.
