A guy I thought was an ex-friend mailed me an Xmas card, WTF?

We were friends and he broke things off... but he's sent me a Christmas card.

:wtf:

I'm royally confused.

In ways he was a friend, but all along he would say derogatory things as well. And how he was laughing at me rather than with me...

I do not know. Or how to respond. Life just seems more and more bizarre.

4. He broke things off.

I did not.

Strange things seem to be happening. And I've been... well, less than happy the last couple of weeks. Maybe it is a sign...?

6. It definitely means something...

what that is, I dunno. Hope things go the way you want them to.

I have an old girlfriend who never has anything nice to say to me but every now and then likes to share her news with me and I usually respond nicely. Then I share some news with her and I don't hear from her until six months to a year later when she has something else to share. Drives me crazy. I actually wish she would just stop contacting me all together.

5. He either (1) joined AA, (2) found Jesus, or (3) needs something

Which is it?

7. Maybe, he does have something to say

Maybe, he wants to see you again or at least say, "No hard feelings." You never know what people are thinking. Maybe, you should send one back with an email address and see what happens.

8. Does not mean he wants to be friends, necessarily

But it definitely means he does not want to be enemies.

9. This might not exactly apply but...

My Dad always tells this story about some chick he dated who would send him letters addressed to "Mediocre Ed"

I swear, if I ever find a chick like that I'm not letting her go

Yeah, I'm pretty fucked up :)

I too have a weakness for clever women.

11. Throw it away

and quit worrying about people like him.

You sound young; let me clue you in, there are more like that where he came from.

Don't analzye weirdos...just toss their stuff in the garbage and try to hang onto your nice memories.

12. Was there a personalized note in there? Otherwise he may have forgotten to

take ya off the list? (Some people pay others to do their cards up for them. Might he have done that?)

13. If it's pretty

enjoy the art, smile and then let it go. It may mean nothing big, maybe he just doesn't want you to think he is your enemy or something. (He doesn't sound like the great communicator type anyway.)

Relax, enjoy the season, get a cup of cocoa and heres a hug.:hug:
If he calls or writes more deal with that then, otherwise, like it or toss it friend, no big.

14. Let it go...

...sounds to me that maybe he wants something from you.

Be polite, but distant.
