how would you handle this... insights please...

Keep away from these kind of guys. They're just out to test the waters... Meaning they're not really in for a serious relationship and they only want some good time. Serves him well if you cut your friendship. Maybe at the time that he was dating you he was having a slight problem with his girlfriend or they cooled-off or something. Just don't fall for these kind of guys they're just a waste of your time. Find someone who really is committed to a relationship. Anyway, you don't wanna be called the girl in the third party right? Just ignore him and show to him outright that you're not affected of the whole farce that he was putting on.

hi makaira! i would not be friends with him anymore. it would seem that he only said those feelings when he was still on a rebound or probably on an argument with his girlfriend and he thought he would court another girl to spite his gf or try to forget her. and that's a bad move. i can't be friends with someone who would try to use me to forget a girl. i would probably start ignoring that guy. if he tries to ask for forgiveness, i won't forgive him easily. i wouldn't even be civil with him.
