My ex likes someone else but still texts me… am I being used?

broke up w/ my ex bf 5 months ago (we dated for 10) and we recently just started texting again after randomly bumping into each other for the 3rd time. He got my # the 3rd time we’ve seen each other & started texting. He was hugging me and telling me he missed me during. I believe it was sincere.

NOW… it’s clear that he has his eye on a certain female who I was a little suspicious on a little before I broke up with him. Long story short, I guess she played him and she started dating or talking to one of his friends. He’s clearly hurt b/c he’s basically been ranting on Twitter about her. He texts ME flirting. I don’t want him back, I just want to be friends. But he dosent know that. I feel like he just talking to me to keep his mind of her. He only wants me b/c she dosent want him. What do you guys think?

Oh and I think he has feelings for me an dosen’t want to let me go completely but doesn’t necessarily WANT me like he wants this other chick.

It sounds like he's crawling back to you because that other girl rejected him. He couldn't get her, so now he's searching for comfort with you. She didn't gave him what he wanted, so now he's searching for affection from you. That would explain the hugs all of the sudden. It sounds like he's settling for you just because he couldn't get that other girl. If he's been ranting about that other girl, then he clearly wanted her. Sometimes people try to run back to their ex to be loved. It's because they know their ex loved them once and could do it again. They seek that old comfort and the feeling to be loved. As soon as that other girl would show interest in him, he would run right back into her arms. Don't let him hurt you again, be careful. Make clear that you don't want to be more than friends. People always break up for a reason, remember that.
