Why do my ex-boyfriends come to me for love advice?

is he your brother ... cuz ya put this question under geneology ?just wondering

Well, firstly I think it's clear he's not the most understanding, tactful or sensitive of souls, but no-one's perfect.In a way it's perhaps a compliment that he trusts your judgement and advice, although he's neglected to consider that this could have been hurtful.I don't suppose he meant any harm by it, although you might want to mention to him how you feel.

you have crossed over to the'just a friend'catagory

Tell your ex-boyfriend to play it cool(be himself)and he'll be alright,but,most importantly,tell him to figure out this situation for himself.Yes,it's okay to once-in-a-while help someone,but,they have to be the one to take that first step to doing something about their situation.

I have kind of done that too, he may be interested in you and was putting out feelers so to speak. That is, he was looking for your reaction, may be he wants you to think he has someone when he doesn't because he heard that you have someone.

A guy will come back to someone he trusted. However, what he did was indeed hurtful. If you continue to allow him to come back to talk to you and listen, he will keep doing this. You need to establish a boundary with him. You deserve to be treated with consideration and respect. Actually, use this episode with him to remind yourself why he's your ex...he has no respect for your feelings, doesn't treat you as if you're valuable and has no idea what it means to be considerate of someone else.

Maybe he still loves you and is having a hardtime getting over you.
