Since myself and my ex broke up about 4 weeks ago after a year and a half relationship, we havnt had space at all. Because we have the same friends and have decided to be friends ourselves we have seen eachother alot and it makes it worse because he keeps crying telling me to take him back.

But ever since we broke up.. i have been talking alot to an old friend of his, but they arent very close anymore.. we get on so well and can just sit and talk for hours on end...

But recently he told me he likes me.. and i know i like him.. but i have told him its too soon for me to do anything and i dont think i could no matter how much i want to...

We have decided on being friends and i dont mind that either because i would love him to become a great friend because he dosnt try anything on with me and always tries to get me back with my ex...

He has recently asked to to just go play pool because we talk so easily.. i want to because i know he wouldn't try anything and nothing would happen...

But i dont know if i should from everyone elses point of view and would they see it as me just looking for someone to be a new friend in my life since my break up...

To me he could have even been a girl for how we get on.. i just think he's someone i would love to have as a friend even in my life...

Help please...

I think you should go out with this guy for the game of pool, what is stopping you? Life is too short to hang around and to care what other people think. Whatever makes you happy should make the people who truly care about you happy as well. :-) x

I understand.. and its only other people as in friend.. Its also because he is my ex's old close friend.. I dont wanna hurt my ex because i only broke up with him because i need space away from the stuff that has happened between us..

I dont want him to think im gonna go off with everyone just because im single now..

I dont want him to get hurt.. and im afraid he will be if i go with the other one..

thanks for your help!! :)
