19/f. I have a friend who is openly very attracted to me. He tells all of our friends he's going to marry me and never stops telling me how interesting, beautiful, and cute I am. We have hooked up twice, but I don't even know if I like him. Before he started being so nice to me i thought he was a total asshole and really annoying. There are a few problems: 1. He was dating a girl a really nice girl a few months ago..He cheated on her over a school break with his ex, then came back to school, took her virginity, and THEN told her. Needless to say a lot of people hate him for that. 2. I'm pretty sure he's actually in a relationship with that ex-girlfriend now, but she's across the country. It says they are in a relationship on facebook and since he's cheated before I'm not really surprised. He texts me every day and wants me to hang out with him more. I don't think I even like him like that. I feel like I like the idea of him liking me more than I actually like him. He's one of my good friends though and I don't want to ruin anything. Sorry this is so long, but any advice?

You need to check your resources and see if he is actually in a relationship with that other girl before getting into a relationship with him. Don't date him if you are still not sure if you like him, that may lead to him being led on. Also don't jump into anything with him. If you are interested in trying it out or testing the waters with the guy, maybe try lunch dates here and there before titling him your boyfriend. If to him you are different than the other girls he dated, I'm sure he will say that, but if he actually does feel that way, he would try to treat you right and avoid his former habits. You should already know him very well after being good friends with him. Try getting to know him in a romantic yet safe way before making any major decisions. Try not to set yourself into a position where you or he would possibly get hurt in the long run. In my opinion, he doesn't sound like a decent guy and has a problematic character. If you want to try to see if it would work out between the two of you, take your time, he will be patient if he really likes you. Don't give him what he wants when he asks for it. Make him wait until you are ready to give it to him. [ parsimoniousdino's advice column | Ask parsimoniousdino A Question ]
