writes: I have finally gotten enough courage to ask a guy that I have been flirting with over that last year. By talking to him over this year he has given answers and made comments that made me think he was single. After asking him out I found out that he was not single, and was seeing someone else. He informed me that he and the other woman had broken up and was trying to fix their relationship. He also told me that he wanted to still get to know me better and wanted to call me sometimes. I have only been in one relationship before this and need advice on what to do. I really like this guy, but don't want to be taken advantage of. I would appreciate any responses. thank you.

Also, if it doesn't work out with him and his current gf you will have gotten to know him better and found out if you and him have potential or not. It's not man-stealing, it's just being friends. Talk to him on the phone some times, maybe hang out with him and other people at whatever you guys do for fun (if you guys are into hiking for example go together with a larger group etc). But the line goes at this: dates, drinks, alone with him, you at his home, he at your home. Don't do anything with him you wouldn't do with a friend of yours.

If he was trying to work it out with his girlfriend maby he shoudn't have given you the impression he did. I agree with oldersister that you should tell him you would like to get to know him, however would prefere to stay as friends whilst he works it out with the other woman.
Hope this helped. Good Luck
