What's going on? Your ex is playing head games and you are falling right into his trap. He's like a James Bond villain, and you are James Bond tied up to his diamond cutting laser. You guys broke up. Move on.
He's trying to reel you back in on his terms. Maybe he misses you, or maybe he just wants to hook up, and will say whatever you want to hear. He could still have feelings for you, but also wants to be single. Either way, you are playing right into his hands.
You need to delete him from your phone. Block his texts if need be. Change his name in your phone to "the devil" so that every time he calls you'll see that Satan is calling you and abort the call. It sounds like you had an amicable break-up and are still in a bit of a weird grayish area. The only way you're going to move on, and not continue to be roped into his mind games, is to remove yourself from his life for a good long while.
If he wanted to get back together, he would show up at your door with flowers, pizza, and a DVD copy of that movie you watched on your second date. At the very least, he would return your texts. He doesn't know what he wants and is just going to drive you crazy. Either call him and ask what is up or delete his number and move on. Right now, you're his yo-yo. Cut the strings.

Your advice is dead on! I have had a similar experience and its not goin to get any better until you have decided to cut him off altogether. When he texts you dont respond. He will get the point.
I can't help but being curious as to why she put the word "ex" in quotes?
Sorry ... help but WONDER ...
because he isnt completely her ex yet..."ex" like almost ex. lol.
It's just funny (yet simultaneously sad) when they practically answer their own questions. They know the answer deep down - they just don't wanna believe it.
TWANG! You've done it again, NIck, hit it in the bullseye. To the girl who wrote this, remember: there's a reason you broke up. Cut him loose.
YES, NICK. Exactly.
"Douchebag - Don't Answer" is another good name for him on your phone, as is "Shithead." I speak from experience. Leaving his real name on tends to remind you of the person you fell in love with rather than the douchebag you broke up with.
