I know that my ex doesn't want to get back with me... but I have a feeling whilst he doesn't want me he doesn't me, he also doesn't want me to move on. Last friday he sent me a bunch of flowers to my office (£50 worth) basically saying in very cutey language - thanks for being a good friend. I found it really odd, as it reminded me of when he'd sent flowers when we were together. I am under no illusion that he wants to get back together as he is enjoying his single life.
Even though his gesture was sent with goodwill... part of me can't help but be a bit cynical about his motives. Isn't it slightly odd to send an ex flowers due to past connotations?
let me know your thoughts x

Sorry - I had just given him some job advice - and I'd said he shouldn't really be leaning on me for that anymore. It wasn't totally out of the blue... but still find flowers weird.

Stop thinking about this nonsense and get on with your life.You have no control over this situation.If he does not want to come back,don't drive yourself crazy.The sooner you get on with your life and start dating other people the better it will be for you.In a short period of time you will probably be in a new and exciting relationship.Good luck.

Maybe that was his way of saying to you that the relationship you both had was not about nothing. The flowers could have been his way of saying that he was sorry and although the relationship didn't work you will always remain special in his heart. I would send him a note that says thank you and wish him a good life and that's all. If he continues to send flowers to you after that just throw them away or call the florist and tell them not to deliver flowers to you anymore. Or call him and tell him that's enough.Take care and good luck.

If the card said thanks for being a good friend then he might just be trying to smooth things over so you can be friends...I do however find it odd to even send a friend flowers for no reason...there might be something else going on here but I'm not sure what.

Mabye he's going throguh a difficult faze, not everybody is trying to lie and cheat at everything. It could be he just needs some small notion of comfort, just to know that even though you split up; you can still just talk as friends.

Sounds like he doesn't want you.....but doesn't want you to move on either. Tell him that the flowers are not acceptable at this stage and that you're moving on with your life.

I think it is odd, and creates confusion, and leads to misinterpretations. You don't send your friends flowers, unless it their birthday or someone died. Plain and simple.

Are you a sucker. Manipulated. Easily conned. Send him a return thank you and write another mans name. ( honest mistake ).

You're reading too much into it!
Just a "thank you" should suffice, without the skepticism!

It's his problem... Say thank you and then go out on your date and forget him....
