Confidential to annonymous, 24, part 2

There are several reasons why a guy stays in contact with an ex: it feels good being around someone who pays you more attention than you pay them; just because he may not like her enough to be in a relationship doesn't mean she's not a fun person to be around; telling her that he doesn't want to see her is an unpleasant task for most guys, so they procrastinate; some guys just can't stay breakup cold turkey, they just ease their way out.

Going out with you and going out with his ex, and maybe even other girls is not a problem, specially if it's all kept friendly-like, which is the case with at least you. There's a difference between going out on dates with someone, and dating that person.

Girls asking about other girls, even if there's nothing serious going on, always make a guy feel uncomfortable. On one hand there's nothing to hide, but on the other hand there's unpleasant explanations. That's why he tries to hide pics.

I think the message is very clear based on his actions: you're a fun, friendly person to go out with. Period.
