My ex-boyfriend dumped me a year ago, yet last week he called me and asked me to go see a movie with him. I went with him, he picked me up & after the movie he just took me home.On the drive home, when I asked him why he wanted to see me, he said that he wants to see me 'every once in awhile'. Why does he wanna hang out and see me once in awhile, when we only dated for one month? By the way,we never had sex during our relationship cuz he knew that I wanna save myself for marriage. We would cuddle, kiss, hug, & hold hands, it was a pure & beautiful thing. Even AFTER he ended it, he would still say hi to me on msn, so we did communicate during this yr. albeit only by msn. We just never met up & he never called me until that day he asked to go see a movie, after the yr. Does he feel guilty for dumping me & wanted to feel better by taking me out or did he miss me & wanna be friends?Is he really trying to string me along & WHY do guys do this? What would he benefit from this? He's 26 I'm 21

He's trying to keep you close enough that if his current thing doesn't work out, he can always call you. Do yourself a favor, and don't make time for him. Not worth it.

Could be several things...
Maybe he thought your views on sex changed
Maybe he had nothing better to do
Maybe a girl dumped him n he needed a "make me feel better" date
Or...maybe he really cares for you and missed you.
By the way, for the record...Guys DONT do this. Don't stereotype. He's an individual, and you really should ask him in the same straight up way you asked here.
Good Luck

I think he is checking in to see if you still want to wait for marriage. There are two things that make me think this, 1. He broke up with you. 2. He gave you a stupid answer on the way home, "I just want to see you every once in a while" what is that supposed to mean?

I think it might be his way of seeing if your moral strength is still holding strong. Perhaps he feels that if it hasn't he might position himself to be able to take advantage of it. He may feel that if time goes on you might be tired of waiting for Mr Right and marriage and perhaps give in to the urges.
I know that my viewpoint is somewhat skepical. I just find it hard to believe that his motives are honorable. I go with the opinion that men are dogs.... yes there are exceptions...but it is so hard to separate the good ones when so many are not.

"Long distance" relationships... think about it. String along... Whats the point in having a long distant relationship?

Why do you keep on asking the same question over and over and over again!!!!!
He is just trying to keep you as a fall back girl.
Get over your ex cos honestly im sick of reading about it.
MOVE ON!!!
