My ex broke up w/ me 2 months ago.
The other night we went out and had a great time (he asked me out). At the end of the night he hugged me for a very long time. I started to cry. I looked up at him and he was teary. I asked if he was upset he said "a little". We hugged again. Then he looked at me and just said "Oh Sarah" and I said "Oh Mike" and we hugged again and he kissed me on the head. He told me to call him anytime. I told him the same.
Sounds like he is still interested right?? Read on....
2 days later I msged him. He said he was doing well, thanked me for the msg and tol me that he is sure he will talk to me soon. I told him that I was fine and that I had a great time the other night. He said he is glad im fine and that we should get together again sometime. I said I would love to and for him to let me know whenver he is available. He did not respond.
How long should I give him the benefit of the doubt to respond before I move on?

if you guys have already broken up once i would just move on and see someone else. there must be a reason that the two of you are not together any longer, so move on enjoy life and find someone that will make you happy not waiting to find out if you can be happy or not.

If you guys broke up for a reason before, chances are you will break up again, for the same reasons. Unless a large amount of time has passed and both of you went through some large scale maturing, then I would just move on. Its natural to want to be loved and held by someone. Lots of couples get back together because they hate being alone. This of course is only temporary, and it leads to more heart break in the end. I would just move on and find someone that is truly more compatible with you.

Move on now. He seems like he might make a really good friend in the future and also is sensitive enough to find the seperation painful. However, he hasn't indicated that he wants to get back together and you shouldn't assume that he does. Guys have a way of letting you know if that is their intentions and/or desire. So.....care for yourself and don't wait for a response is what I suggest. Good Luck

Yes, it sounds as if he is still interested, but who knows what he's thinking for sure, right?
If I were you, I'd just let nature take its course. You don't need to be definite about a time limit. If he calls and you remain interested, then great. If it doesn't work out and you don't get back together, then it wasn't meant to be...no worries. Relax and live one day at a time. For now, enjoy your independence. Make sense?

that depends on why you broke up in the first place. it sounds like you're both regretting the situation to some extent, but you need to get things lined up mentally. you need to ask yourself why the break up happened and if that is going to happen again.
it sounds like he might not be interested in a relationship with you anymore. if you feel the need to move on, it might not work out in the long run.
for the benefit of the doubt, give him a week. that should be more than enough time for both of you to sort out your feelings.

Move on now. If he finally gets up off his butt and contacts you and you are available you can consider going out with him. In the meantime, if you find someone better you won't be wasting time waiting on someone who may never call.

nicely positioned it this manner, I nevertheless respond to them a week while they have sent. yet then it expenses greater because of the fact I take plenty time explaining WHY i did not respond. i'm unhappy like that.

A couple of days and after you give him a call and he's still not ready then wait another 3 days.

Sound's to me he would of respond right then. I thinking he might be with someone or he would of took you back that night. Or he might be with someone and he didn't want to let you know and he might break it off with her to go out with you. To many questions not enough answers sorry.
