elsie agony auntsounds to me like hes using you and probably all the other girls hes known as some sort of human stepping stone.why is it men cant have a break?they seem so scared of being on their own.tell him to see if he can spend a few weeks on his own.talk to him over the phone but realise that he will have to deal with the fall out from this other poor girl.just remember if he can do this to her after 2years he can do it do you.are you going to base your whole future with this guy on what sounds like a chance meeting?why didnt he come forward before or try and track you down.sounds like a bit of a CHANCER all round.think long and hard.just because he wants to jump in doesnt mean you have to aswell.

AskRosie agony auntOk. Maybe you ought to see him in the privacy of your own home. Please play hard to get and don't go on to him. Boy's should make the first move, not you. Please don't trust him a lot at the beginning, make conditions, trust him more throughout the relationship. If he values you he will not complain about the conditions. You went out with him once and you split up. If your scared don't tell anyone. Tell him to keep it a secret to. If he valuse you then he will keep it a secret to.

Midge agony auntBeing confused is not always a bad thing, it means you are thinking about things through. If you can be certain this boy has definately finished with this other girl, then if you really feel that strong for him, there is no harm giving it another go.

Just take things slow! Make sure he's not on the rebound because he has just come out of another relationship, so you need to be sure he's not wanting you back simply because he doesnt want to be alone.

Make the best choice for you! Dont worry about what other people think!

Walk away and keep away. You two split up and he is with someone else. Please do not be the reason for them to split up. He could be saying this so he can have his cake and eat it. Some people love the thrill of having two people on the go at the same time. Just walk away, meet some who you do deserve and forget about him.

Take care

well a female, you say you want to get back with your ex but clearly there was a problem in your relationship for you to split up in the first place, I think maybe you should let him deal with any issues in his present relationship and then if that involves him breaking up with the current girlfriend , you should take one step at a time if you want to get back with him maybe dating first of all, not jumping straight back in where you left off 2 years ago as 2 years is a long time to be apart people and habits change.

Midge agony auntAn ex is an ex for a reason. This probably isnt what you want to hear but its the unfortunate truth.

You split two years ago and he started dating straight away. If your relationship meant that much to him, he would have taken a little time out of the dating scene, and he didnt, he just jumped right back in there. Now he is probably bored with the girlfriend and time for a change in scenery. Thats where you come in!

Dont let him play you like that. There are so many players out there, dont be played like that!

I went out with a guy for 4 years who constantly did that to me. I didnt realise it at the time because I thought I loved him. Only to find out that he wasnt only playing me, but about half a dozen other girls too.

Its hard to distance yourself from someone that you care so deeply about, but you will set yourself up for a whole bunch of heartache if you take the bate and go back to him.

kenny agony auntI woulden't persue him while he is tied into another relationship. I also think it was wrong of him to express his love for you, especially as he has been dating this other girl for the last two years.

If he love's you and always has then he should do the decent thing and tell his girlfriend its over. Until then i woulden't give him any signs that you are interested.

Good luck x

AskRosie agony auntHi, How do you know that this boy isn't playing you? If he says he wants you back then he will dump his girlfriend but if he is just tired of the relationship he will play away. Tell him that if he wants you he will have to dump his girl. At first see each other privately, then after a few weeks come out. If you feel guilty talk to a trusted grown up about this and see what they would in your shoes.
