Ok a few months ago I met a really great guy ( i'll call him allan) and instantly had feelings for him, but he had a bf. we hung out a couple of times and he told me how his boyfriend isn't so great (I won't go into much detail, needless to say he does not deserve Allan), some of the stuff genuinely made me heart sick for Allan. I confessed that did have feelings for him but he said he just wanted to e friends, to which I said I would prefer to be friends than have to stop seeing him completely.

More problems occurred between Allan and his bf, and Allan would talk to me about it and it felt like he looked to me for support, which I was happy he felt secure enough to do. It all came to a head a few days ago when they finally broke up, and this time it seemed for good. I was having my birthday party and Allan was ivited but wasn't sure on coming because he wasn't so great, but after going to see him just to hang out and distract him from the pain of the breakup, he decided he did want to come to my party. I ha a great night and tried to get allan mixing with my friends, most of which he has never met before.

After a couple of drinks we went of to talk in my room and I was trying to help him just by listening to what he was feeling, but I must have said something because he asked if I had feelings for him still, which I tried to deflect by saying we weren't talking about me. He pushed the question again, this time saying that he does have feelings for me. I felt a mix of pure happiness with flgrest sadness, because the guy I love likes me back (albeit I don't know how much) but I don't want to act on my feelings too much as I don't want to be a rebound guy. He spent the night in my bed, we only made out really and cuddled, and for me it felt so right I didn't want to let him go. We spent the next two days basically with each other the whole time, with him saying he really enjoys his time with me, that he still has feelings for me and that it wasn't a drunk confession to me. I even joked around about finding him a new bf or FWB, but he said he only wanted one person at the moment, and that was me, but didn't want to rush into anything like he had with his ex.

Last night we were messaging happily, when his ex sends him a text trying to get him back. Allan went to talk with his ex because he feels bad, even though his ex treated him like dirt, and now they are still going to talk.

I have been trying to say do what is right for himself, don't let his ex emotionally blackmail him as he will use that as a weapon in the future. I didn't want him to worry about how i felt because I didnt want to cause him more confusion and pain, but I foolishly said I hope his ex fails at getting Allan back. I wish Allan could see that I care about him so much that I would never hurt him like his ex has, he deserves someone who loves him more than anything, and I feel that person is me. But his happiness means to much for me to say that because should he choose his ex and be happy, that is what I want, for him to be happy and feel loved. I just wish he would choose me, he doesn't even have to be my boyfriend straight away because he doesn't want to rush, but it's obvious he feels for me too and I wish he could see I'm better for him than his ex.

Vent over.
 
Imo, there's really not much you can do.. He needs to make his own decisions and/or mistakes. You can't push him in a certain direction. Or yes, you can try, but it will properly just backfire. The best thing you can do is just be there for him..
On the other hand, he shouldn't push you around either. Either he wants something with you or either he doesn't.
I just feel like it's bad that you started something so soon after he and his ex had split. He needs to get properly one his ex before he can move on to the next.
 
When you're hungry, what should you do? Go get something to eat. When you're thirsty, what should you do? Go get something to drink to get hydrated. When you want to go visit another city, what should you do? You plan on how to get there and make it happen.

Do you really like Allan? If you do, go after him. Give him compelling reasons to choose you instead of his ex. From what you have described, I get a sense that Allan may feel like you don't care if he goes back to his ex or not. From Allan's point view, your feeling for him is neutral. You just wanted to be his good friend and not boyfriend material. If I were Allan and feels like I don't want to be alone, I would go back to my ex because you're not fighting for me....my ex is.

If you really want Allan, go after him. Fight for something you believe in! Fight for your passion.
 
There's no accounting for love and the many facets of relationships. Breakups have a way of repairing themselves and even on again, off again relationships can hook people into keep trying. You can't save people from themselves. It appears he'll keep going back.
 
Just be mindful he is getting out of a bad relationship and has very mixed feelings and emotions right now. You're in his "rebound" zone which is a very unstable time period for a gay man where they fuck and mindfuck those around them before stabilizing into a happy medium of what they want next in their life. I hope it all works out for you, but be ready for a roller coaster. Keep us posted.
 
If you want to date people, you will go through hookups and breakups. This is reality. When you fall, you learn how to get back up. When you have a broken heart, you learn how to heal yourself. No pain...no gain. This is life.
 
Thanks to everyone who's posted, you all have good points. Im just going to wait and see what happens and hope for the best
