Question - (5 April 2015) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 April 2015)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My best friend has this close friend, and hes really good looking and sweet and I've known him for a little while now. He is desired by most of the girls I know and once even my friend, however now hes admitted to liking me. But i don't know what to do as i've been thinking about it lately and i used to be able to act really casually around him and we would get on but now i get nervous and awkward around him. Also, he lives fairly far so i wouldn't see him so much, and he has an ex that he cheated on but I have a feeling that he might still like her, and I asked his friend whos quite honest about everything- if the boy I like still has feelings for his ex and his friend replied with "its hard to tell" not even the words no he doesn't. I cant help but feel like a rebound even though everyone seems to tell me they are just good friends, but can you really be just friends with the person you were once in love with? Should I pursue something and stop overthinking, or am I being realistic?

I think there are too many unanswered questions about him, and he lives too far away to be worth all the trouble.

janniepeg agony auntYou should be realistic because the odds are stacked against him being able to give you happiness. He's known to have cheated. He lives far away and he may not be over his ex. If you can cheat one someone your feelings can't be that deep, but that also means his morals did not stop him from ending the relationship first. I would not consider dating him because that's like taking another's unwanted seconds. If all he has is a sweet face and you get hot and bothered around him, that's not a reason to date him.
