When he says ‘missing you, missing the intimacy’ what does he mean by it?

He wants sex.

Is a text. Lame and lazy. It’s called a crumb.

If he were truly missing You- he’d call & have a conversation with You…

He misses the fact that you were a convenient sex person. Now he has to work to please his needs.

Apple – when my BF tried to come back from breakup, he specifically said things like he still loves me and don’t want us to break up..

Your case is a little unclear as to what he wanted st this point…

I would straight up tell him you are fine to get back ONLY if you are still GF…. otherwise you would move on .. and that you don’t do FWB

I replied, ‘I do too, so where do you want us to go from here’?

I will wait for what he says.

Sisi it is confusing.

Tallspicy, originally, he wanted to cut all contact.
I carried on the chat.
Because we were friends before we got together. Like nearly a year.
I respect him us person and he has been there for me a lot.
So I really want to maintain our friendship when our relationship ended.
Although I really like and I do want to be with him, I have not fallen in love with him so I could definitely just friendship relationship. And until this morning, I thought that’s where we were leading to, until he send me that message.

I can’t totally say, he just want the sex, we did more the sex, very close, sex was even that big deal for him. But we did cuddle a lot and we are both very affectionate.

So maybe misses everything including the sex, he just doesn’t know how to express himself properly or he is nervous.
Like started the conversation this morning ‘I don’t want make you feel awkward but I am missing you …..,etc ..I want you to know that,

So do want him back but if he is going downgrade me to FWB , no thanks.

He definitely knows he won’t get fwb from me as he knows how I feel about situationships without labels/commitment.

Me offering friendship was my way of showing what he means to me as person outside our relationship which I accepted ended.

Fair enough isis.
I never saw it that way but I will make it clear that FWB is not and will never be on the cards.
And I won’t offer friendship again but he says he doesn’t want me back as GF.

I thought my reply was very clear!!

All his answers points to sex. If you offered him a friendship after the break up, then he certainly don’t miss you since he has been in contact with you. What he misses is having the sex with you. Unless he had invited you out and started telling you he wants to work on getting back with you then this would have been different. But he lazily texted you I miss you and want you. Like, dude that’s a straight up I miss f-ing you!!

But I hope I’m wrong. So go ahead entertain him. Lay all your rules on the table about no fwb. If you are emotionally stable to keep true to your own rule then great. If he indeed wants a relationship back maybe he will get to that in due time. Keep him at arms length. Make him work for it. And don’t have sex with him.

Sisi I don’t understand why you are offering your own experience with your boyfriend when you were very clear in a post of your own that you aren’t even attracted to the guy. And didn’t he break up with you? WTF? Don’t offer advice for others! Get your own ducks in a row sister!

I am very sure of myself and I know I can be around him and not have sex with him.

I only asked the question because I wasn’t sure what he meant and since the ‘I still want you’ comment he has been quite.
So maybe he was making sure if I still wanted him for ego boost.
