The person you'd need to ask is him — but the fact that you're here, with three exclamation points, asking strangers to read his mind? That's not about today. That's about a stretch of days where something has felt uncertain between you. When someone's feelings become a puzzle you're trying to solve from the outside, it usually means the relationship stopped giving you clear, steady signals somewhere along the way. Not because you failed — because the air got foggy, and you've been squinting through it alone. You don't need a guess right now. You need solid ground under your own feet first — enough that whatever his answer turns out to be, it doesn't collapse you. That starts with noticing: when did I start bracing? What would I need to hear to feel safe again? Let those answers steady you before you ask him anything.

...Read moreYou're asking the wrong question. Not "will she come back?" — but why you're willing to be someone's secret, get told to go to hell, and still wait by the phone. Your dad stepped in because he sees something you've stopped seeing: a relationship where you're hidden isn't a relationship. It's a holding pattern. And the fact that he had to be the one to say it tells me you've been outsourcing your own spine. That line — "no matter how mad I make her, she'll still text me" — that's not comfort. That's the reason you never have to decide anything. You just wait. And waiting keeps you small. She might come back. That's not the point. The point is what you'll have decided about yourself by the time she does. Don't text. Don't chase. Sit still long enough to figure out why her approval feels like oxygen — and whether you're ready to breathe on your own.

...Read moreI can't tell you what your ex is feeling or doing — that's not what I do, and honestly nobody can answer that from the outside. But I can tell you what I see from this side of things: when someone's still asking this question, they're usually not ready to date yet. And that matters for what I actually do know about. If you were to put a profile up right now, that unresolved energy would show — in stiff bio wording, in photos where you're trying too hard to look "fine," in conversations that fizzle because you're mentally comparing everyone to her. People can sense when they're a warm body filling a space rather than someone you're genuinely curious about. You don't need to know where her head is at. You need to know where yours is. When you're no longer rewriting your bio from the angle of "what would she think if she saw this," you're probably ready.
