UNAGI- (still) danger???

BACKSTORY: you already read Unagi and Unagi in Person, (formerly known as)  the ex-factor.  He, who I said goodbye to back in October because he had found  reason and the girl to move back to N.C. with.  I was both pleased and a bit confused with our departure but I had the "good bye" so didn't give it much thought.

Super Bowl weekend I had texted him when The Who was playing half-time (his favorite band), "Wooo, the Who!!!"  Not expecting a response, he texts back with, "I love you!!!"  Not one, but three exclamation marks!!!  I show my friends and Miss J says, "He better be careful or his girl will go Tiger Woods on his ass."  Now I wasn't trying not to read anything into it cause text is so misleading, but couldn't help but ponder, you can say I love you in text but didn't the whole time (practically) when we were dating?   I showed Ms. M this and she says, "Well that should read I love you for remembering!"  I let it be.

Jump to - Singles Awareness Day - aka, that hallmark holiday called Valentine's Day.

I had lunch and saw Valentine's Day (the movie) with Shadow, then we met up with Miss J at Happy Hour. Cut to: we just got done saying none of our exes texted or called us on Vday.  We order a round or two of drinks and see I have a new text message. I open it and it says "Happy Valentine's Day!!" from...Ex Factor!

I didn't respond right away cause I didn't know what to say or where this was coming from. (I just had a dream about him. Weird!)  Finally the girls convinced me to write back -something. So I wrote, "Same to you, you doing something special w/ the lady?" figuring he wouldn't respond. Phone on table, he instantly writes back, my phone is moving across the table in vibration "I'm single!"  Gasp from me, the girls are screaming and howling, it was quite a scene at Barney's Beanery.  Miss J says to write back 'So what does that mean for us" but I want to play it more safe. I write, "So does that mean you're heading back to Cali?"  Instantly, "I'm here now.  Just got back."  I put my phone down in the screaming and it lights back up, he says moments later "Where are you?" (audio) Screaming.  I say "We're in We Ho, come meet us."  He says, "I'm thinking about it."  But doesn't.

So the girls are living through me and my shocking re-entry of Ex, the next day they all ask if I heard from him. No, but so I didn't have to keep answering that question, I decide to call to say hey.  We speak for 3 minutes cause he was out and I was on my way out, and says he was going to head over the hill and we should meet up. He said he'd call.  I get in my car to pick up Miss J and my phone dings, "It's 515...let's meet for some drinks!"  I told him we were going to happy hour and he should meet us but doesn't so when we're paying the bill I'm like "Watcha doing?" he says, "HOB later..." I ask what's later and never heard from him for the rest of the night.

Now, I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit of a head case right now regarding it all.  I was over this man considering I dated him 5 years ago, but am treading lightly cause I don't know what he's playing at, newly single just back in the city.  I'm tripping out big time. I can't get out of my own head.  I don't get it.  I guess if you trade in 2, you get one back.  What the hell????

Thought I'd share. This isn't what I had in mind when I said I needed a change for 2010. Accreditation is done and now we wait.  I cut my hair.  Feb sweeps is almost over (thank god) and I've been packing up my life for the move and it's my birthday coming up. It's all insane!
