Guy I like is finally single!! what should I do?

[xhopingxforxlove]

i like this boy. him and his girlfriend just broke up. I think it was almost a year that they were officially together. I know they both loved each other.

Im so excited because I really like him. But, I also feel so bad for him because I know he's hurting. We are friends, but not good enough friends to talk about personal things.

Even if we don't end up going out. I want him to know I really am his friend and I care about him a lot. But how do I do this without seeming I'm coming on to him now only because he's sinle? his now ex girlfriend made it really hard for me to talk to him or spend time with him. so we are friends, but not close. Also, I want to respect that he's going though a breakup.

so how do I try and become closer to him/flirt without scaring him off? should I wait a certain amount of time before I start? or should I jsut start now?

thanks :)

Give him a lot of time.

Breaking up can cause lots of grief for some guys. Try and talk to him about the break-up and make him feel better.
