Ex Boyfriend? Is he playing games, or is he trying to tell me something?! 10 POINTS!!?

[A..]

I broke up with my ex boyfriend four months ago because i felt like i did everything and he only did half of that. I was just tired, and i didnt need that stress and right before i broke up with him, he said he didnt love me anymore. That didnt break me, i was hurt but im a confident person, and will never force someone to love me so i accepted it. We started ignoring each other at school(highschool)so after a week a texted him telling him it was silly and that i missed my bestfriend. He agreed and also said he missed me. EVERYTHING was normal again, but he made the comment saying he was still going to be protective. We went back to laughing, messing with eachother, and even texting but every time i guy talked to me or heard they liked me her got jealous, which he is known for. For payback he tried talking to some girls, and would let me know. I never responded in jealousy, i just went along but i did cut him off, he was becoming to much. We went back to ignoring each other, but i always noticed he stared at me, a lot like he was in daze. He eventually got a gf, when i first found out i was shocked, dont get me wrong but i couldnt get jealous or cry about it. I think their a joke, and they are nothing compared to what we had. They never looked like a couple and when she wasnt giving me nasty stares or make this face where she looked uncomfortable, he was staring at me. He always brings her around where i am, and before that i never saw them but me and him do have a class together. I realized he was trying to make me jealous but didnt give in. after awhile, he started giving me these sad looks which were weird. I decided to start speaking again. He would respond and even blush a bit. I also noticed if me, him, and his gf are all together, he cant look neither of us in the face, and he would run off, usually to the bathroom. Im so confused, i still love him but these signs are weird and i refuse to deal with bullsh*t. What do i do, and for some background info on our relationship, we got to know each other and became good bestfriends, we dated for a year, and we were close in every way possible. Lovers, Bestfriends all of that. I met both sides of his family, and hes met mine. We went to prom, and we were known all over school so a lot of people liked us (Many people come to me and question why hes with her and that he looks unhappy but i dont comment)(Even my mom who he still speaks and waves to, noticed the change)..We always had a good time, and i always kept a smile on his face... He has insecurities, but with my help that started to fade but yet somehow at the same time i bruise his ego?! Typical guy i guess but He tries to gloat about his new gf on social media, they started dating less than two months after we broke up, and im pretty sure shes a rebound. I just get under her skin too much for their relationship to be so fantastic. I also dont try to break them up, i let them be. Like is he playing games with me? Is his pride getting in the way of him telling me how he really feels. I think hes clueless on how i feel about him because i dont make it noticeable. One time though, he texted me all upset because he thought that i was showing private pics of him (rumor). I told him that that was crazy and he shouldnt belive that all. He believe me and apologized and said he knew i would never do that anyways. I also told him that was okay, and that he could come to me before making assumptions. Other than that i dont throw myself at him, and drown him with my emotions. Sorry for jumping back and forth but also i feel as though his gf dislikes me not because of what i do, but its because of something he does. Since when does the new girl gets jealous of the ex gf, who left him, and doesnt try to get his attention. I feel like every time he does something, i get the nasty side looks. I KNOW this is alot but is he just being cruel and playing games, or is he having trouble explaining his emotions. and if its the second option, what do i do? Please help!! Thank you
Every answer is a good answer but i would love to hear from women who have been threw this, and MEN!! he's 17 if that helps lol thanks :

He's just trying to make you jealous dont fall for it. Just act like you dont care

Hey there! I think he still loves you but is scared to confront u about it because he doesn't want it to end badly like last time. I think you should talk to him about it privately, maybe invite him round so you both can discuss it properly. Ask him what he thinks of you and just try get him to open up slowly. But don't demand answers. In my opinion I think u 2 could be a good couple if you both just talked more. Communication is the key. Hope I helped and have a great day!

Well to me it sounds that he really does have feelings for you and trust me when I say he is probably just as confused I remember When d I had the same thing happen to me I absolutely loved my gf we were best friends for like ever and we dated over a year when we broke up I ignored her for the longest time because I felt hurt and betrayed I then got a new gf but looking aback on it I never had feelings for her and it was always still her I felt them for. Idk why I dated her maybe I was trying to get her jealous but all I know is it seems it's what's happening to him... I know if I found out my ex still had feelings for me I might have changed I would have probably went straight back to her and told her how i felt but that may just be me . I think you should start talking though. Sorry if this is a. Little jumbled I've been up over 45 hours a bit tired lol. Best of luck! Please let me know how it turns out

Hi there! Sebastian here from the other question. Sorry, I know its odd replying here but apparently i can't comment on your comment on my question and I didn't know any other way to answer you question since im kinda new to yahoo answers....soooo here I am.

Should you text him or speak to him in person. Personally, i would do both. I would text them and tell and ask them something like "Hey, can we talk? I need to ask(or tell) you something." Why approach them like this? Well, to give hints on what the subject is gonna be about, a serious topic, your relationship. Also, i lets him prepare an answer and wont be as surprised for the random topic. After you ask him that you two will choose a place to meet up and, well, you can take it from here. Open yourself up to him. Tell him how you want to give it another try, or you miss him, etc. There's no wrong way to open up to him as long as you don't start blaming each other for why it didn't work the first time. Good Luck!
