My ex boyfriend and I broke up back in March, but still decided to remain Best Friends as we'd been before the relationship since it didn't damage our friendship.

The last time we saw each other in person was on the last day of school back at the end of May.

This past Friday I was at our county fair to see him compete in an animal competition (since that was what I said I'd do a long time ago). After it ended I'd gone home, then came back a couple of hours later and walked around the fair with him as he took his animal around for some exercise.

After a while, we got tired and decided to sit on a bench and rest for a bit. I started petting his animal and looked around at the large crowds walking around the fair grounds. While I was doing this, I noticed every time I glanced at my ex, or back at his animal (since the animal was sitting between us), he was glancing at me. Every time he noticed me looking towards him, or in his general direction, he quickly look in a different direction. This continued for a little bit more until some people came up and asked him questions about his animal and he started talking to them.

After he finished answering their questions, we both walked inside and he put his animal in its cage. I began walking around the area looking at some other animals and so did he. I noticed a few times he'd keep glancing at me as he was walking around, take his eyes off me, walk somewhere else (like in another direction), and glance at me again.

Earlier in the day (before I'd left to go home), we'd been sitting at a table with some of our friends. He ended up talking to me a lot and kept making lots of funny jokes to me. He also kept smiling the smile he used to do when we'd been dating most of the time that I was there.

Should any of these things mean anything to me, or should I just ignore them?

It sounds like he wants to try again to me, as for what to do, it's all up to you, do nyou want to try again, or do you want to stay as friends? Perhaps try talking to him about it?

He probably wants to go out with you again. If you broke up caz of a serious thing then i wouldn't recommend being together again.

I honestly would like to try again, but have found it hard to talk to him about it as it just seems awkward for either of us to bring up any of the deep things that happened during the relationship, or mostly the relationship in general in our discussions. Though we do still bring up certain things from the past.

We broke up because he said he thought it'd be better if we just stayed Best Friends. We never had any fights or anything else that was bad up to the time we broke up.

He's just looking at you, maybe he's hesitating about his decision, maybe he's trying hard to just see you as a friend. If a relationship was broken it's best to leave things the way you two agreed to leave them.

Normally to this type of thing I would suggest he glances like that because he likes you. However, given your history there could be any number of reasons why. Perhaps the best thing to do is if this continues that you just ask him about it and see what he says?

Ok. I'd choose our friendship over our relationship any day. I don't want to even think about losing the friendship that's formed between us over the years.

I agree with the previous comments. Talk to him, clarify, then go from there.
