Can I date a guy in an off period of an on/off relationship?

Question - (12 March 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 12 March 2008)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I've liked this guy, we'll call him Ryan, on and off for about... four years now. I recently got his number and we've been texting a lot but I can't figure out if he likes me or not. I also have a problem because he has an on again off again girlfriend(they're currently off) and I can't stand her. Now I'm not really an expert on on/off relationships, but isn't that basically being single? I want to get into a relationship with him, and he mentioned hanging out over spring break, but I don't know what to do. Should I go for it and keep talking to him? Or should I just wait until this on/off thing is over? I can't stand waiting any longer. HELP!

No, an on/off relationship is NOT being single. The whole point of it is that it is ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON.

Do you really want a relationship with this guy in his OFF period and then find it goes ON again? Well, maybe you are up for a three-some, or enjoy being ditched?

Obviously he wants you, he is in the OFF period and not getting any, might as well string you along till his real intrest is ON again.

Sure, go for this guy, if you enjoy being played with and just don't think your heart is right in one piece.

Do NOT do open relations or any of that crap unless you are REALLY certain you can deal with it.

Star_07 agony auntYou should probably wait til he is done with this on/off relationship b/c you might be the one that gets hurt if decides to go back to her later.

I dont think you should involve yourself with someone who is on/off with another girl b/c people tend to do what they are used to. If you want a relationship with him, it is unlikely that he will stay with you. Past often predicts the future. People can change and grow up but that takes TIME.

If you still want to give him a chance, Id say at least wait til he is completely done with that girl.
