What should I do if I still like this guy?

Question

So I saw this guy at school and thought he was so cute, my bestfriend knew him, so one day I finally met him from my bff, he asked for my number and I gave it to him. on the very 3rd day we started texting each other, he called me ‘BABE’, wow yes I was shocked, but Since then we started talking to the point where we were getting to know each other from there, we both started liking each other, but I knew that I still wanted to be single. He asked me one time on the phone If I was ready to be in a relationship, but I told him that Yeah I’m ready but as of right now I just want to have fun, but I can settle down later. He took it so seriously that he stopped talking to me and I guess he heard and thought wrong of what I said. I meant as in ‘having fun’.. that I would still talk to him, but I didn’t want him to stop talking to me. So yeah we stopped talking. So now he has this girl in his class which is 3rd period that hes starting to like, which is my BROTHERS EX. She doesn’t know that we use to talk, but I guess he started liking her all because of a ‘ SUPRA STIKER ‘ that she had on her binder. how dumb is that? Sounds insane, but that’s how he is, he falls fast and lose feelings fast. but anyways that’s my bestfriend told me, because she’s in his class and she hooked us up, she introduced the both of us. She tells me everything, like that guy and my brothers ex always flirts in class and sit by each other, and he told my bestfriend that he would still talk to me I guess. He walks by me everyday after 2nd or 3rd period on purpose, cause he thinks I would say hi or give him a hug, he always tells my bff in 3rd period that “how come you bff doesn’t talk to me any more?” obviously, that shows that he still likes me, and I still like him, but what should I do?

Unfortunately you should do nothing.  No matter who he's seeing, the rule you have to stick to is "never go for another woman's man".  End of story on that one.  Yeah it's hard to deal with him being with someone else because you did have feelings for him.  Here's the thing though....you told him before all this happened that you were ready for a relationship, but that you basically wanted to take things slow and see how it all went.  He immediately stopped talking.....that tells me that he might be the "clingy" type that jumps in fast.....no one needs that.....especially not you.  Sounds like the mix up in communication did you a big favor by showing you a part of his character that you don't really like that much....that in time you wouldn't be able to deal with....and end up going through a hurtful break up.  You're simply going through the process that dating while young shows you.....how to "pick" a potential b/f.  Be thankful you saw this early.  I'd say move on and find someone else to go out with....never settle for anything less than what your needs cover.  Too many girls do that and end up crying the blues when they should have cut it off in the first place.  By all means stay friends with the dude....but remember above all, he's with someone....and that you aren't a relationship wrecker.  If you REALLY want to try again with him, wait until he's free to date.  Doing anything else will take away from your self respect.  Much luck :)
