OK so its been a few days now since me and “Jess” have broken up. We still talk which is a little unusual it has been made clear to me by her that we are not getting “back together”. Me and her broke up on a Thursday she couldn’t even explain it properly which was a bit up setting but she text me as I was “trying” to delete the pictures I have of us together on my phone and it said ” Ryan can we meet up so I can explain myself x” so I text back saying “Fine” I was worried but it was actually very nice we were talking almost like it never happened she told me why she has broken up with me and a little while later she tried to take the tension away by tickling me and i tickled her back we got very, very close and kissed for 2 seconds before what happened sunk in. She walked away, straight away from then we have been talking normally since but …
What was that kiss?

Sometimes when people break up its still hard to really let go. And very easy to continue doing what you have been comfortable with…like the tickling then kissing.
The kiss was habit. It was her (and both of you, probably) falling into familiar patterns while trying to relieve some awkwardness. I wish I could tell you something more encouraging, but I can say from experience that false hope is so much more brutal than just knowing the reality up front. I hope you start to feel better soon.
thank you for the “encouraging” words I understand
