Hello :) I'll make this really quick. My ex and I dated for a year and a half we broke up because I found he cheated on me. My guy friend helped me get through with the situation. And yes I cried a couple of times. My guy friend and I have been really good friends since 3 years ago. I started liking him 2 years ago. Yes I liked him even when I was going out with my ex. I liked him but i didn't know if he liked me back. Then after a while when i was still dating my ex i found out my guy friend likes me, actually he liked me ever since we became close friends. Sadly, my guy friend moved away but we still keep in touch and everything. The problem is my ex apologized to me for what he did and he even told a couple of my other friends how he wanted to get back with me. But i said no because what if he cheats on me again? And yes i still kind of do like him *my ex*. I don't even know why I like him. For some reason I don't think he likes me anymore. However, I still like my guy friend but i don't know if he still likes me. Especially now, because we don't see each other very much and we don't talk as much anymore. Oh my goodness! Okay so.. I like my ex but I don't know if he still likes me and I like my guy friend but I don't know if he likes me either. This is kind of weird and you may think I am weird but I really can't help it. My best friend she says i shouldn't get together with my ex because she hates his guts but I kind of like him. As for my guy friend my best friend thinks he's cool. So ye, please help!

Hey Nick! Thanks so much! I really appreciate your help! :) I am feeling better already! Take care!
I'll tell you what I would do, but in the end you are going to ahve to decide for yourself. I was in somewhat of a similar situation Here it goes:
I wouldn't go back with your ex. He cheated on you. You deserve a lot better than that. Once your trust for someone is gone, sometimws it is impossible for them to gain it back, even if they only slipped up once. You'll question "Did he do it before?" and "Will he do it again"" Which is a definite possibility. I gave this one girl so many chances only to get hurt as many times. I almost gave her another, but I didn't. I was setting myself up for pain. Don't do that to yourself. It's not worth it. Here's a wuote I heard about trust: "Trust is like a mirror. Once broken it can be fixed, but you can still see the cracks." Maybe that'll help.
As for your guy friend...the distance factor makes it more difficult for a relationsip to blossom, but even if it doesn't...you have someone you are close to, someone you can trust, who you can tell anything too. That's all you need . Tell him you still like him. I can almost gaurantee he will give the same response. In regards to my own experience I previously mentioned...I have a friend who I have known for 11 years...more than 2/3 of my life...She's helped me through everything, and I have a feeling that this is the kind of friendship developing with you and your guy friend. Keep the friendship strong with him..."Friendship is the foundation for a lasting relationship."
