I don't understand

I just turned 17. I was in my first proper relationship with this guy. I thought we were great together, but after 3 months he did'nt think so. So he dumped me.
Then a bunch of us had a holiday planned, we were both attending. So i get over there and he tells one of my friends that he just wants me to move on because he has, and we should be friends. Fine. So i do. And it was really hard at first, but i managed to.

Then i get a text from him, and we're chatting for ages; just like old times. But then he does'nt text me for a month :/

So i went into town with some friends and he was in a bar we went to. He came up to me gave me a kiss on the cheek blah blah. We stayed for about half an hour then left. I said goodbye to him and gave him a hug and he said he would text me. And he did.
And then we said we'd meet up in town. So i said ok, give me a text or something. NO REPLY. Its been almost 3 weeks now. And he's been on facebook etc.

I don't undertand. Does he want to try this? or am i a friend?
Should i just try and move on again? because i really do like him :(
HELP!!

Forget about it. You want someone who's gonna be steady and sure about what they want. You deserve a lot better than this and he seems to like the idea of having you wait for him as back-up. Make it clear that friendship is the only thing your interested in and you'd rather not have your heart trifled with.

I don't know if your a christian or not but I still think that 1 Corinthians 13 is a good place to look when trying to understand what true love is. Read it and then compare it with your actual situation. But be honest! It's not that easy, eh? It takes time, care and consistency to reach that level of love and... to maintain it. Do not accept anything less than true love.. you deserve it and its a matter of happiness not just now, but forever if you choose this person for life.

I hope this helped and I hope you make the right choice. :)

You are 17. All the emotional drama comes soon enuff. I would get out there and enjoy myself and not give this guy any more wasted time. It sounds like you are more into him than he is in you so forget him. Life is too short and you are just beginning your journey in life and so dont waste one second more second guessing this dude. Sounds like he knows you will jump when he wants you so has you on the back burner for when he has nothing else. Lose him.

if hes sending mixed signals he proably wants to play (I know cuz I have personaly been through it myself both being the player or the girl who got played) basicly when a girl likes a guy alot of times she REALLY likes him but its not always this way with guys and men. He may go back and forth you know liking you and then change his mind (its a possiblility) some guys have a short fuse they feel a sudden spark when they first meet a girl date her until they figure her out the challenege is over its a bit like playing a video game.....once you beet the final boss its over and there is no point in playing anymore and its time to buy a new game. I once dated a guy for 9 months and had him tell me he didn't love me and that he never loved me I felt devastated but I eventualy accepted that I was a game in his mind. However right now your in a grey area this guy may most likely still want to use you to have someone to be there for him emotionaly or to give sex to him but being in a relationship makes it harder for him to sleep with other women. So he continues to text you since he dated you once before he knows exactly how much you care about him and so he does not have to worry about you going anywhere. personaly I'd tell the guy to screw off (thats just me tho)
You could however if you want to maintian a friendship tell him you want to be friends but that you've moved on and are seeing other people. But make sure you are really over him before you do this....I know it ***** but there is a reason they call it falling in love can't exactly fall out now can you?
this is the best advice I can give for now best of luck to you tho hope you get this figured out,

I agree with the other ladies, don't give this guy any more chances and move on. Probably in his mind, he's thinking that he's being a friend but in reality, he's giving you unintentional hope. If you have any sort of feelings for this guy, and he isn't willing to commit, it's time to find someone else who won't string you along and appreciate you for you. Believe me, when you find that special someone, there are no questions about commitment whatsoever and you'll never have to sit around and wait for a text or call from him.

Ugh.  I hate it when someone gives us mixed signals as he is doing here.  However, I think most of his signal is that he's moved on and doesn't want to date.  I'm sorry as I'm sure that is not what you wanted to hear.  He could have been texting after a drink at the bar and been lonely and then when he sobered, he realized he didn't want to do that.  I don't know.  But I think that tbabi is right here, I'd move on and let him go.  Take a breather from dating for a bit.

I find that for many, being friends with an ex is quite difficult.  One or the other usually still has some left over feelings and they almost always get in the way.  If a friendship really happens, it is usually after a period of time.  

good luck
