Q: Okay, I used to like this guy named Caleb, who was 2 and a half years older then me, and I thought that he liked me too. I kept staring at him at school, but we never really talked (I just thought he found me nice looking). Then, I found out he had a girlfriend. I thought we could've been friends, so I kept talking to him online and through email. I thought we were friends, but then he told my friend he didn't like me at all (probably because I came on too strongly). Now, his girlfriend has moved out of the country, and we talk and he considers us friends. All my friends tell me he likes me, and I REALLY think he does. I even had a dream about him last night... It was about him and I, and he asked me out (in the dream). I don't know what I should do, because he has a girlfriend, and sometimes he acts all jealous when I talk about other guys and stuff like that. And other times, he says he misses his girlfriend. Please help? Free five for decent answers.
I apologize for any percieved harshness:

If he liked you, he would ask you out. You told him how you felt, and he got mad at you. That's pretty much a sign that he still has feelings for his girlfriend.

Even if he does get jealous of other guys, it doesn't mean he's over his girlfriend. Even if she's moved to another country, and he realizes that he's in love with you, she's still his girlfriend. Do you know what that means?

You can't be.

Dreams don't predict the future. Back off, and leave this guy alone... he doesn't like you. You can be his friend, but go find another guy, without a girlfriend (in this country or not!)

EDIT::

You're right. I don't know you OR him. But I do know that he has a girlfriend.

Alrighty, I'm giving you a five, only because I'm a nice person. It turns out, he DOES like me. Sorry, but you don't know me or him, and you don't know anything...

Love hurts. That's why I'm here to explain to you exactly what your significant other (or hopefully significant other) means, truthfully and unfortunately painfully.

In other words, I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear, unless I really believe it could happen.

If you don't believe me, well, I can give you proof. My way of thinking worked for me and my wonderful boyfriend of three years (I love you Matt!)
