Me and my last boyfriend went on a "break" but sometimes he says we brokeup. We still talk everyday and hang out a couple times a week and when we are together its like were going out. We still kiss and mess around... but then a guy from work asked me out and i like him but i love my last guy. is it ok to date this other guy?

A break in dating because of problems or whatever should mean you are free to see anyone else you want. This break sounds more like a relationship for convenience, that sex was in it but isn't there right now (just kissing and messing around, as you put it). So what if you go on a date with someone else? If the truth be known, he's probably looked into the same possibility with another girl during this so-called break you two are on.

I have to agree with Orinoco, if you are on a break then you are technically still together and should not be dating other people. You and/or he should be focusing on working out the issue that caused the "break". But if he's telling others ya'll are broken up then he may be just tryin to keep you on the sideline while he plays the field. Take a look at the situation and get clarification of what it is ya'll are doing, still dating or becoming friends with benefits.

Are you "on a break" or broken up?
What are your codes/rules for "on a break"?
If I was "on a break" from my girl, it would be where the two of us are spending time apart specifically so we can get over some stuff ... work things out ... get back together again.
I would be very upset if my girl went out with someone else while we were "on a break". I'd see that as cheating and I'd break up with her.
But then, I wouldn't be telling people that I'd broken up with her. I'd say we were on a break. Because that's what it means to me/us. I wouldn't be going out and dating other girls, because we're on a break to try and resolve some issue.
So I think you need to clarify. You need to point out to your guy that on a break means such and such ... and if he's thinking "on a break" means "broken up" and you agree - then go for it!
But that's not what it means to many people.
In terms of this other guy - you might just want to put him on hold a sec. Let him know you're on a break with your boyfriend and want to get something sorted first.
Then you can date him after you've broken up with your boyfriend.

i belive it is okay.. if you are on a "break" then you have no tie to your last boyfriend. Breaks are also often intended to see if you really want to stay together.
go out with this guy and find out if you want to stay with the old one or try something new.
No harm. its not like your really dating your old guy anyways.. he must be seeing others if he says you two are broken up sometimes. give it a try :) that is, if you feel right doing that.

you should be talking to your "ex" about this. ask him straight what he wants becuase hes the one causing the confusion. if he says yall are broken up, then stop messin around with him and date the other guy. if he says your on a break then ask him the terms.

If you are broken up...let yoyr bf know that you may be dating. it lets him make the final effort to get you back. if he does not...its time to move on!
