He wants to get in your pants.

It's a repeat...but it's good to have a connection I guess I could say that cares...then there is also the possibility that he was trying to win you over but that's unkikely...

I hope you took the ten minute window to call your now-ex and tell him you're leaving him for his friend. That was the perfect opportunity to turn it around on him.

Bestfriend sounds like a revenge lay

Im sorry OP. You are sick and on top of that are dumped and to add insult to injury it was through a text :( that's the worst. Or maybe an email. It all sucks. Try and feel better and consider yourself lucky. He's a jerk if he breaks up with you through a text anyway.

His best friend wanted you the whole time: hence the texting you and asking you if you were okay.

Lol

don't be a bitch and date your exes best friend. he's a piece of trash for "checking up on you"

It's pretty strange that he would text you before even knowing if his best friend actually got a chance to talk to you... I wonder if he does not want you for himself and then took the opportunity to make your ex look like a double-douche while looking himself like the good guy.

Seems to me like someone's already grabbing his chance on you.
