I just recently heard some news about my ex boyfriend from ten years ago. We are both newly single and so I found out were he worked cause my friend saw him there and he told her to tell me 'hi'. So I went up there and "accidentally" ran into him, so he says "Let me get a pen and I will give you my number" and I handed him a paper that I had already written my number on and he said he would call me. Then, he went up to my mom (at her work) and said "I talked to your daughter the other day and she gave me her number but I can't remember where I put it" so my mom gives him my number and then he never calls. Its been like two weeks now, whats up with that??????
I don't remember why we broke up. We were pretty young, now that we are older who knows? But do you think he would make a special trip to try and get my number again and then just decide he didn't wanna call me. I don't get it. Should I go back to his work or let it go?

I did meet another guy while at his work and we talked so I thought about going up there and talking to him (there is no romantic interest for me and the other guy we just used to be friends) and then if my ex boyfriend says something like 'sorry for not calling you' I'll just brush him off and say 'No big deal, it was just a thought.' The only thing that gets me is why would he make a special trip to get my number and then not call, I would'nt be so curious if he just didn't call.

Go back, whether or not it will look desperate i don't know. but if you don't go back you'll always be wondering... what if...? it can't hurt and you obviously still have feelings for him, so just go for it! Good luck.

Here's the deal. He was careless the first time he got your number and did what he could to get it back. Since you were so eager to give it to him the first time, he may be resting his laurels thinking you are waiting for him. (Bad move on your part, next time, if there is one, relax.)
Also since he went through the trouble of getting the number from MOM, he's trying to impress you while keeping you at bay. I know I would cling to the small hope that a guy asking my mom for my number would at least call. Since he hasn't called, let it go. Relationships with revolving doors work sometimes. Both parties have to be willing to do their part. You did yours. Ball is in his court. In the meantime don't let him stop you from seeing other people.

Because he went to your mother, I would think that he is interested. Unfortunately he is an idiot and thinks that you and your mother do not speak other than to exchange phone numbers.
Go back to his workplace and see him if you truly are interested in him. Make some plans with him then and there. This may kick start him into action.
The other option is that he is really nervous about calling you and just has not built up the courage yet to call.

If I were you I wouldn't go back to his work, I mean you gave him your number once on your own and then he went to your moms work and asked for it, if he really wanted to talk to you don't you think that he would be a little more responsible with your number. Not saying it rudely, just pointing out the facts he had his second chance and he ruined it.

He sounds like he's forgetful. I mean he lost the number and had to get it again from ur mom, so maybe he lost it again. But if u really want to talk withhim then call his job and ask if he really want to get together, because since he keeps losing ur number u wonder if he's really serious

Maybe he's just being polite, and thinks thats what he should do when he runs into you. He may have lost your number, and asked your Mom. Is her writing legible? I'd wait and see if he calls to contacts you. If he's someone you're interested in again, speak up!

He could be shy. Men are more shy than we give them credit for being. But don't wait around for his call ... go out and meet some guys who you haven't dated already and see if you really want to go back with your ex.

sounds as though your mom said something to him that scared him away.or maybe she wants him for herself.has she been going out alot alone.or is she happier than usual.maybe she reminded him of the reason you both broke up.it may be time to move on and find someone to start new memories with.hope this helps

He just wants to play around with you! Just ignore him!By going to him and complaining about it is like telling him that you still have feelings for him and he will keep doing the same thing.

Damn you sound desperate. Catch your breath. If he sees your that desperate he won't be interested. Trust me.
Look for it on the internet or just wait and see if he calls. Get yourself a vibrator in the mean time.
