Theres this guy ive been talking to he used to date my friend, i really like him alot but thing is he is sorta with his baby's mother only because of the child i dont know if i should be with him or not i love him to death and i know he feels the same about me what should i do?

Think about what dating someone with a child means - he'll be giving time, money, and himself to that child (as he should). He'll be in contact with the mother for the rest of the child's life, and it sounds like he already has trouble staying away from her. His first priority needs to be his baby.
Are you ready to deal with all that? It's a lot to ask any person to honestly be okay with, particularly if you are young. Relationships are complicated enough without adding children, other women, and the baggage which comes along with both.
He's dated your friend. He's gotten someone pregnant and is still with them - though he's leading you on, and therefore cheating on his baby's mother. Doesn't really sound like a good situation for you, or anyone, to enter into. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]
