Ok so a year or so ago, I met a guy through one of my best friends. He had only split up from his girlfriend less than a month (he was with her for 2 years) I didn't find this out until after I started dating him. Do you think I was the rebound? I think I was. Anyway I broke up with him over some differences we had. We remained sorta friends in the meantime. He started dating another girl and he has only broken up with her for just over a month. He broke up with her, but I know he still loves her and thinks about her all the time (he told someone I know this) He has started talking to me again and flirting with me, is he just using me to get over her? I know he kissed her last week and she kissed him back but then she told him she doesn't want anything to do with him
Though he may "like" you, it's strange how he tends to come to you after break ups. :/
I think the question here is HOW MUCH he likes you. I think you deserve better than being a second choice to someone. There's this saying that I've heard: "Don't make someone your priority when you are just their option." It sounds harsh, I know, but hopefully you can take this experience for what it's worth and try move on. If you stop talking to him altogether then it will be easier to move on. Someday you'll find a guy for whom you are the first and only choice!

If he was really crazy about you then he would have tried to get back together with you after you broke up the first time. Obviously you still have some feelings for this guy otherwise you wouldn't even being worrying about it. Think about the differences that made you two break up in the first place. He showed his true colors when he didn't tell you he just got out of a relationship before he started dating you. That's a pretty big deal if he was dating her for two years. If he would lie about something like that, he will lie or withhold information about other things. Don't let him make you his rebound girl again. Stick to being just friends with him, and make it clear you want nothing more. You deserve to be with a guy who doesn't just want to date you as a rebound.
