Some time has passed and today, out of the blue.... I get a text message from my last boyfriend!! Completely out of the blue.....
He told me that he had recently passed a place we often went and he recalled happy memories of our times there...... he hoped his message found me happy and well and sent his fondest regards.
I have not heard from him for a very long time..... why now? Its caught me completely off guard and I have been staggered by this, I don't know what to make of it....
Why does he feel the need to contact me at all after so long..... does this indicate some kind of hidden agenda?
He is clearly ecpecting me to respond, even if only out of curiosity.... but why?

Help!! Your views...??
Damn...it could be a lot of reasons. Mr. Cynical here would proceed w/caution. But, by the same token, I've went down some well traveled roads before...so I can't say much.

He probably just plain 'missed' you, and the good times you shared.
I keep in touch with my exes, except the last one. It breaks my heart and i would be thrilled to hear from him.
When I feel lonely, I think about couple of ex boyfriends I don't stay in touch with...it's a nostalgic thing to do....and I noticed they do the same. We know is not the " get together again" desire...it's just reliving the good times we had somehow nurture the loneliness....a momentary thing. And it's tricky...allowing yourself to get back again, in one of these moments....will throw you back into the very thing you got out of...
roseofsharon: Indy... can we keep some decorum please...?? Luscious.... perhaps he just missed me?? When I say its been some time, we are talking a few years, not months. Surely, if he was gonna miss me he would've MISSED ME long ago.... why has it taken so long? Hence, my wondering of there is a hidden agenda? Its clearly not a case of he's been unable to live without me, is it...?

me....decorum?
Actually, I think back on old flames...and have some pleasant thoughts. Sometimes email them just to make sure all is well. But that's all I want to know. (just my view)..... Because I don't love them, doesn't mean I hate them.

That's an extremely good point, love..... thank you!!
Luscious... what do you mean "maybe he got saved"??

Same with me. I like to know how some are doing. For those who never really cared for me, it doesn't even cross my mind, to check if they are still alive. I guess it's just the way it is, not that i would like to hear something bad happened to any of them.

I meant that, when people find God, they completely change their ways, feel guilty of any hurt they may have caused others, and try to share the good 'news'.
It was a joke, he would have said it, if this was the case.
While it is possible that's why he called,sorry(e wants you back),niceto think right?However take it for what i was.As said earlier nostlagia.He thought of you and was nice enough to compliment the thought wth a call.Most thnks of tei exes from time to time,a song,place etc.Most let it pass.Don't read into it.If he is interested he will call again.Can't go crazy trying to read his mind,I know well from years back. You enjoyed the call,so leave it and if he calls again.........

Indyfella: It may be a, "what might have been" moment.
True....only that none really want to explore "what might have been" outside of that moment/even day ...
And he might also still looking to get his closure....sometimes it takes a while until one party settle the books.....it might not have anything to do with you, he could reconnect on order to be able to let go...
