a guy i like recently split up with his gf, me and him got close quickly but nothing has "happened" between us. this week his ex has been txting him loads trying to get back together with him. he's told her that he wants to be single at the moment but has kind of given her a little bit of hope that if she changes he'll get back together.

i don't want this guy to get back with his ex. she's a bad influence on him, she sulks whenever he wants to go see his kids and spends his money come pay day (and gets mad when he goes to give his ex child support). i want me and him to carry on as we were, neither of us wants to rush into a relationship, just spend loads of time getting to know each other but ultimately with the aim of getting together.

so what would you do? walk away and let him get on with sorting things with his ex, or stay and fight, show him how much better off he'd be with you etc. i'm torn 50/50

If he is still in love with her then you may end up missing out or remaining secound best. If nothing has really happened between you does he even know you feel this way ? He has given her hope that they may get back together so he must still want to be with her if not now then maybe in the future. Tell him how you feel and if he doesnt feel the same then leave him to sort out stuff with his ex. He may be better off with you but if he doesnt see it then its his loss.

Stay well away from him right now. He needs time to get over her, and has made it clear he wants to be single. Let him sort his life out. You don't want to become a rebound, and then find he'll go back to her. You need to let him take his time, let him get over this break and let him be single for as long as he needs. Don't make a move while she's still there hovering around and he's not over her.

kittyl305 agony aunthi, you should stay and be supportive don't try and get in with him, if you show that your supportive on what he's doing and give him advice when he needs it then that will prove to him that you will be there for him. so just leave him to do what he's doing just stick by him that is how you will prove to him that you are better.
