Why would a man who ended a relationship still want the woman to like him?

@Keepitsimple he needs an ego massage and wants to go back to the woman who obviously made him feel good about himself to get some more attention?

@SW-User I think so. They just want to know they are wanted whether or not they want the other person.

@Keepitsimple yes, this sounds like a case of a completely effed up person, who doesn't care about toying with the feelings of others to get his own ego boost
