me and my ex are still friends, but he tells everyone that he still likes me and isn't over me. well, his best friend also likes me, and i like him. would it be okay to date him ?? is there a way i can explain this to him without hurting him ??

Well, I'd talk to your ex first and straighten things out with him.

He needs to know that you still want to remain friends, but you don't really feel "connected" in that way right now.

Then I'd talk to your best friend and ask him how he'd feel if you two were going out.

It'd be absolutely fine to date him - just don't forget about your other friends in the long run.

All friends (and boyfriends) are created equal, so donate the same amount of time to spend with all. :)

Good Luck!
