Guys generally don’t do hints and stuff, so if that’s what he said, it means exactly the same. So if you are hoping/wishing that you took it the wrong way or he didn’t really mean it or it was a trick question, it wasn’t. Its going to sound ‘easier said than done’, but stay away from him. Get a hobby for distraction so that you don’t get impulsive and call. Getting back together is definitely a no-no. You will find someone much better and will live happily ever after =)
