Hii, to start, I'm aiai <<yes, that's my name... xD>> I've been friends with this guy for a while and we started as just friends but over time I started developing feelings for him. A couple of days ago he asked me if I liked him-- basically he was asking me to confess my feelings to him. He said if I told him I like him then we can start a relationship and become a couple. I really want to tell him how I feel and become an item with him, but I feel like he's not over his x-girlfriend. His e-mail is her name and his msn display picture is her, and sometimes he'll sing/listen to songs that relate to their past relationship and how his heart will always be hers even though they broke up about a year ago... I don't get it though, if he's still not over her, why would he try to start something with me? I don't know if I should start something with him either because of his current state; I don't want him to be thinking of her when he's really with me. Should I start something with him? Help? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Rebound...

Sit down and talk to him about this. Tell him you do have feelings for him but that you don't want to get into a relationship if he is still hung up on his ex.

Talaniman Rule- Never get involved with someone who still is thinking of the ex.

Your available, she isn't, so your his replacement for what he had. We call that a rebound relationship.

Date have a great time but be smart enough not to get carried away by your feelings and ASSUME he feels the same. If you can't, leave him alone.
