Met up with ex for coffee.

I have been doing the no contact with my ex for a month now. I asked him Sunday if he would like to get coffee with me and exhchange our things back. He agreed. The meet up went really well. We talked and goofed around like it was old times. Although, when I offered to pay for his coffee, he quickly told the cashier he was buying his own. Also, when I looked at the things he gave back to me, there was all of the cute little love you things I got him or made him in there. Most of that stuff that I got him, he never displayed anyways. When I told my one friend about this, she says that most guys don’t want to put up that kind of stuff in their rooms as it would make them look less manly. Maybe I’m reading too much into this. I mean he was really engaged in my conversation, he was generally interested to see how I was doing, and was even stuttering! He used to do this when he got nervous. Before I left, he walked me back to my car and said it was good to see me. I told him you also and to not be a stranger. He said yeah you know, we can make small talk here and there. I hugged him and I had to stop myself from giving him a long hug. He then stared at me and I told him if he ever wanted to hang out, he knows where to find me. He said yeah same here. Be nice to do that. I made sure to not state I wanted to be friends in fear that that would mean we would never get back together.
