I think you deserve better than this. This guy is very confused and should probably spend some time alone thinking things through. He definitely doesn't sound as if he is ready to be with you. I don't think you are necessarily "second best" - he probably does have feelings for you and his ex and just needs to sort it all out, which he is never going to do unless he spends some time being single. It sounds like he just doesn't want to be alone and has no idea what to do or who to love. And why should you wait around for him to figure out what he wants when you know what you want - to love someone and be loved in return. There are a lot of great guys out there who could give you that without all the ex-gf drama.
