Interesting question. Ultimately you wonder if your ex will always be insanely attracted to you?
From a strictly physical level, sure. I'm guessing that he'd always feel that same way about you unless some other woman who was more perfect for him - physically - came along. Which is probably what he's looking for anyway.
But there's another element here. The physical connection only exists perpetually assuming there was never a real emotional element. For instance, I have some exes that I was completely attracted to that I no longer find even remotely attractive because of our relationship and its end. There are women I know who are absolutely gorgeous who do nothing for me because I know them personally and who they are actually turns me off.
At the same time there are some exes of mine that I'm still intensely physically attracted to because the end of the relationship didn't turn completely ugly. It just stopped or whatever.
The point is, it depends on the relationship that you two had. Sounds like he's going to always be attracted because things just never worked out. Not because you all hate each other.
Here's a better question: why is this something that you're worried about? Ego? Pride?
What's your hang up?
Some guys don't retain any attraction for their exes...
I asked because our relationship was so strange. He had a lot of problems opening up to me and would only express how he felt about me when he would drink or once in a while when he opened up for short periods of time before shutting me out again. The one thing I always had that I knew was true and factual was his attraction for me above everyone else. We would break up and he would never be able to stay away from me for long and we would see each other again and he would say other girls didn't interest him because they just weren't me, that he missed me etc everything but saying he loved me. We broke up because he finally decided he needed to be alone and figure himself out ( his mom told me she thinks he needs therapy) So honestly i am hoping in the future we could re connect again and he will still be attracted to me.
Who knows? I know that's not the answer you were looking for, but honestly, it's the only answer there is. This is one of those things that can only be told by time. You can speculate, but without a crystal ball, you'll never know until the future becomes the present.
On a personal level, I'm at least still somewhat attracted to each of my exes, but I'm not necessarily "into" them. There's a difference. Mostly, to me, after a certain amount of time goes by (around a year, maybe), I lose interest in a guy simply because I've moved on and grown as a person and my tastes have evolved. My most recent ex is very good looking and I'm still deeply "into" him now, but in a year, I'll probably be way, way past it. Everyone's different though--your ex might be completely different from me.
I agree, it's hard to figure out what he wants - he probably doesn't even know. In any case, hope everything works out for both of you.
Well, it happened to me. In my case, I was the one who needed to go sort my head out. Seven years, one marriage, one child, and two degrees later, we're back together and I'm happier than I've ever been in my life.
I'm not saying it will work out for you both. It might not. But it sometimes does, and I am proof. :)
