My ex's friend says "be careful and patient" What does he mean?

Question - (6 August 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 6 August 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My ex boyfriend and I haven't been together since 2007, and we stopped speaking early 2008 because we found it difficult, for many reasons.

We have recently started talking again, and have been spending time together.

We went on a night out with some friends about a month ago, and he told me he wishes we had never broken up, and that he still loves me. I told him that he was only saying it because he was drunk, but he was very adamant that that wasn't the case.

Not long after that, his most recent ex started calling him and wouldn't leave him alone, so I backed off to give him some room to deal with it, and sort the situation out as he saw fit.

It took him a few weeks, but he eventually told her he didn't want her in his life and they haven't had contact since.

The day he told her this, I had a phonecall from his friend telling me to call my ex and talk about getting back together with him, which I didn't do, because I didn't think it was appropriate.

Now, a week later, this same friend has told me that I need to 'open my eyes and be careful and patient' regarding my ex. But he won't tell me exactly what he means by this.

This is my problem, I don't know if he means that my ex is just telling me things he thinks I want to hear, if he isn't over his last girlfriend and is using me as a rebound, or if his friend is just out to cause a bit of drama (which he has been known to do in the past)

Any thoughts on this matter would be very appreciated as I don't know what to think at the moment.
