How long should a girl wait before making a move on a guy who recently broke up with his girlfriend of 3 yrs because she cheated on him? He sms'd me once and seemed to show some interest in me by starting a conversation with me at a party but i kind of showed a lack of interest him by answering in one word responses (now i feel bad but i only did that cos i didn't want to get hurt). also how can i be sure he's over her because he still has her on his facebook and he's very close to his ex's friends and sister who he went on a holiday with even after he broke up with his girlfriend. Is this normal or am i wasting my time and energy on this guy? what should i do to spark his interest?

excuse me, how would you feel if some one at a party decided to give you one word answers you would think that they werent interested in you wouldnt you. you know how they split up obviously, and you have an interest in this man so just take the bull by the horns as they say and go for it. let him no that he wasnt barking up the wrong tree so to speak, talk to him let him know that you are interested but that u wanna take things slow. u can do that via txt or call or e mail. im sure he would appreciate it cuz hes already been hurt, you holding out your feelings for him will just add to that. take it easy but tell him, let him date you and then you have a good idea about where his head is at ok. they finished for a reason so its over go girl

After your one-word responses previously he obviously feels that he'd be wasting his time and energy on you!

Talk to him - preferably face-to-face or on the phone and apologise for being abrupt before. If he's still interested he'll no doubt let you know by the smile (or lack of it) on his face, if not verbally!
