There's this boy that I used to go out with, but broke up with him because I didn't like him like he liked me. But I happen to know that he still has feelings for me. Previously when I was talking to him and another one of my friends, he said he was tired of getting his heart broken, which really made me feel bad for breaking up with him. Now, there's this other boy who likes me, and asked me out. I turned him down because I didn't like him, and know he just keeps staring at me...which is really creepy. And now there is this other boy who likes me, but my ex doesn't know about, and I talk to him on a regular basis. And my friends keep telling me that he said that he wants to go out with me. I don't know if I should say yes because I don't want to hurt me ex-boyfriend's feelings again. If you can help me out, thank you so much!!! ~*Stephanie*~
Breaking up, and dealing with heartbreak is all a part of life, that everyone's going to experience sooner or later, so this is going to help in sooner or later learn to move on, and how to deal with the pain. I mean, what are you going to do whenever if you're like, 24, and some guy proposes to you? I don't think you'd say no because your ex-boyfriends feelings are going to be hurt, lol.
So just do whatever makes you happy, and over time, he'll slowly get over it and realize you two are broken up, and he'll do the same as you and find someone else to date.

Do what feels right for you and what is good for you. Your ex will move on in time, and it may help for him to realize that it's really over between you two.
