This guy friend of mine is choosing to go back to his ex over this new girl who most people think is perfect for him. What can I do or say to keep him from making this mistake?

Let him make his own decisions b/c he is not over his ex.
The best lesson learned is the one we learn on our own

physically it doesnt matter if he gets a new girlfriend or not the old girlfriend he obviously loves is what he wants wrong or right.
His new girlfriends arent her so until he gets over his ex he's only going to hurt everyone else anyway let him get hurt by his ex eventually he wont love her anymore until then be a friend and a shoulder because if you love someone you dont give a **** what anyone else thinks and he needs to work it out himself not even oprah is gonna change his mind. Once he keeps getting hurt he'll get over her and start with new girlfriends but there is nothing you can do except be there for him.

You really can't do anything to keep him from going back to his ex. I think guys do that because it is familiar for them. Dating someone new is hard for guys, they have to learn all new stuff, take them out to dinner, buy them things... and not fart in bed. With an ex they already know all this about them so no pretending.

Might be the fear of getting into a new relatioships which requires a lot of time, effort and patience. this time might work out for him, so there's not a need for you to saything or do anything to him. He will realize sooner or later.

Do you think men can just forget about the women they loved? Most men, when they love a woman, love her forever. Of course, it is easy to go back to them.
Duh.

images of exes are demanding, pretty if you're wanted to the contact upon them. in the journey that they are bare notwithstanding and hes exhibiting them to you (without you asking, which i'm assuming no sane man or woman might want to), run for the hills.

Comfort and familiarity. She's the devil he knows and he's scared of the unknown. That, or he's totally gone for his ex and just won't admit it. Let him find his answer on his own.

There is nothing you can say really, i'm sure he knows what he prefers in a girl. guys can change thier minds about women the same way we change our minds about men.

To me my friend I wouldn't do anything. If he is your friend, I would support his decision. If he wants your opinion, he will ask for it. Sometimes we have to make mistakes twice before we see things clearly.

nothing..... if you do he will feel the need to defend her and his choice and fight that much harder to be with her. All you can do is tell him you support HIM and that you will always be there for him, and if it ends badly do not say "I knew it" just be a friend.
