I really like this guy. I've always thought of him as a good friend and we share lots of common interests. He wasn't available until just a couple weeks ago when his girlfriend broke up with him. Since then, I've seen him maybe once and I've talked to him numerous times. A bunch of my friends keep telling me that he's still in love with his ex, and that they went on a date/kissed to try and decide whether or not to get back together. I asked him a couple days ago straight out whether or not they were back together and he said no, they are just friends. I don't know who to believe. My friends are reliable if their source was reliable. But I don't feel that this guy friend would have any reason to lie to me either. I really like him and I need to know whether to pursue this or not!

friends. its obvious you talked to him but not seen him he loves his ex still. ask him flat out is he cheating. if he says he loves his ex break up if not you lead on but take things slowly bc you can sometimes be wrong and take a big step and fall i woulg go with friends though

I don't know if your friends are telling the truth or not (you should know them better than any of us here). But..here's my opinion. I think that since it's only been 2 wks ago, he may still have some feelings for her. Since the girlfriend is the one who broke up with him, he may still feel attached to her. It's still a little too soon. I say give him more time and just be there for him as a friend. You'll know eventually if he's ready or not.

The thing you have to watch out for now, regardless of whether he's back with the ex or not, is are you going to be the "rebound"? if you are wondering at all if he's still in love with the ex you need to know that you are potentially setting yourself up for heartache. i would recomend letting it go.
i really wish i could have given you more positive advice but i really can't think of a positive outcome in this situation. ultimately, it is you that decides! good luck :)

Your friends said that he went on a date with his ex and they were DECIDING whether or NOT to get back together. You asked a few days later and if he said no then they didn't get back together, so they BOTH were telling the truth.

If he has only been single for a couple of weeks then he prolly does still have feelings for his ex. He needs more time to get over her. Just take things slow and see what happens, you don't want to be a rebound type of thing.

i think you should just flat out tell him that you're interested and want to get to know him. your friends might be jealous that you have a chance with him so are you telling you things that arent true. go with your instinct, dont hold back. and most of all dont regret anything.

When you don't know what to do ...do nothing. You man's dirt will surface eventually.
