[quote=Incognita]Well I've had a friend do this exact same thing. Basically what happened is she dated other people "just because", met a bunch of assholes, was completely unfulfilling, the guys just wanted to hook up. I think she thought she wanted to hook up too, but then felt really cheapened by it. Then she decided she wanted to be back with the ex, only he wanted to discuss all that had happened while she saw other people. Of course like most men he wasn't to thrilled about her seeing a bunch of random men. She thought expressing that she knew the whole time she wanted to be with him anyway but was just "seeing what was out there". He accepted it, but never really acted the same towards her. Maybe he knew that she did it out of contempt, or maybe he also felt she was cheapened by the ordeal.

Point is, him waiting around for her to want to be serious again while she messed around just for the sake of getting back at him didn't get either of them back to where they wanted to be. And I think women take it much harder on themselves for dating the way guys do...

I'd say skip the games OP. If you want to get back together now, do so and accept you both dated other people. The quantity is irrelevant. If you are just not ready to settle back down for your own reasons, keep dating. But also understand that he will probably keep dating as well, so your idea of catching up to him will probably never happen, or worst he will simply move on. [/quote]
