Tell me what you think?

Him texting you obviously means he was thinking of you... But the "I still hate you part" is really mean. I'm not sure if he was just saying that to justify why he was texting, as in, to let you know he wasn't trying to hit on you. And he just went overboard and ended up sounding more harsh than he meant... Or if he really does mean that he hates you. I guess just ask him. Tell him to be straight up with you. And to tell you exactly what he wants/doesn't want. It's not fair to keep you strung on and to keep texting/bring himself back into your life for him to just be a jerk about it. If you two still want to be friends, that's cool. And maybe that's what he really wants. But that friend might also be right. Eitherway, you're going to just have to talk to him about it.
