He dumped me the beginning of last month after telling me that “I deserved better” and that I was a wonderful, kind, amazing person… Since then, he’s been texting me, sending instagram reels, trying to make plans to hang out with our mutual friend group in the future - and it has me really confused. Does this mean he doesn’t care all that much? Or that he regrets what happened? Ugh, I really have no idea how to take this. We got along really well and had a ton of things in common, but knowing this I can’t help but feel so sad that it’s all ending. I don’t want to be just friends. :(

if i knew i couldn't be "just friends," i had to stop replying for a while because every casual message reopened the breakup.
he talks about hanging out or sends reels, does he ever bring up getting back together, or does he act like the breakup is already settled
my ex kept sending memes and random texts after ending things, and i kept reading hope into every notification. it left me stuck because his actions and his decision never matched.
He is trying to keep you in his life by remaining friends. It must feel nice having contact with him, but if being only friends with him hurts you or confuses, you gotta cut off contact. Its what I had to do, it hurts, but the confusion hurts more
well first of all I hear you and totally understand you! depends what the text about? have he taken accountability or said he have done some soul sourcing and want to change how the future would look like together. it may be that he misses you or just acting on emotions without thinking. have you tried being honest with him like for example " hey you text and reals have me really confused. For me right now I need clarity. What do you mean?" just a thought
