Sounds like one of the situations I found myself in !

Take it from someone who has been in the same situation, your ex will never change, he'll continue to hurt you and use you. If he loved you so much why break up in the first place. You both need to move on and dwelling on it won't help. Give it a go with this other male, you may find out what you have been missing and be treated with respect !

purrfectionist84 agony auntIf I were you, I wouldn't sit around waiting on this guy. What if he never decides what he wants? Honestly, though, it seems like he has already decided, and his decision wasn't in your favor. He wants to be "friends with benefits." He wants sex without commitment. Otherwise, how could he be telling you that he wants to take it slow, yet having sex with you?

I think that you should go for the other guy if you like him enough. But be forewarned that your ex might become jealous of what you have with the other guy, and suddenly start acting as if he wants to be with you once and for all. Right now, you're within his grip, but once you break free, he might be aggravated by the loss of control that he has over you and start acting like he has an overwhelming need or desire to be with you. People always want what they can't have. Don't mistake this for true caring.

Best of luck.
