My ex and I dated while I was still in high school and he was starting college — we met through our church. We dated for about six months before we called it quits, mainly because of the distance at the time. That was almost 10 years ago. In that time, we remained friends. I would frequently visit his frat house because I had a lot of friends that lived with him. Every time I would visit, we would end up hanging out.

We have seen each other a lot over the years, and many times, it has ended with us kissing each other. During one encounter three years ago, he told me he didn't know why we weren't together because we both wanted the same things, and then he told me that he loved me. He now lives on the other side of the country. Over the holidays, he called me and wanted to meet up, which we did. I was on a break with my boyfriend at the time. We hung out for a couple hours and it was good. He told me that he was considering moving back to around the area and that his parents were wanting him to settle down.

He still texts or calls me a couple times a month and offers to fly me out so I can visit him. There was no real reason for us to break up, just bad timing. Does he want to get back together, or is he just being friendly and trying to keep in touch? I'm not sure what I think; his actions are confusing.
