Alright, there's a story involved with this one.

I like this boy. A couple months ago we started hanging out and things progressed and we did some pretty inappropriate things together (use your imagination here). We never really intended for anything to move as quickly as it did but...

After that we kind of stopped talking. For about two months. I was heartbroken, obviously, and angry, but I got over it and was moving on with my life.

Two weeks ago, we started talking again. It was casual, friendly, and slightly flirtatious. I was confused about it all but figured that I was stronger now and things would be better this time around. Two days later I found out that while he was hanging out and talking to me two months ago (when the inappropriateness was happening) he was hanging out and talking with some other girl (and doing other less inappropriate but still unsettling things). I got extremely angry at him. I met the other girl and we talked things out.

Since then he has told this other girl that all they will ever be is friends. Last week he and I texted each other but it was mostly us arguing about the situation. He claims he wasn't ignoring me but thinking about the situation (he also admits he didn't handle it properly). Later in the week we were finally doing better and he even came to a function I invited him to, which surprised the hell out of me.

I've found that I would much rather argue with him than not talk to him at all. I still have these strong feelings for him but I wonder if I can trust him or if he's just going to pull the same stuff. (In his defense we never were dating when all of this happened so he never technically cheated on anyone but it sure felt that way). I just wonder, do I listen to my head and forget about him or do I listen to my heart and let my guard down a little?

I appologize for the length but I feel like the background knowledge is important for the question.
