Sooo why can't he just get over her?

I have resorted to Yahoo! Answers for relationship advice.

I met this guy at my high school a couple of weeks ago. He's a grade below me, he's 16 and I'm 17. I do not think I have EVER had so much in common with anybody. We listen to exactly the same music, watch exactly the same movies, read exactly the same books and have similar lives, interests, sense of humor, just everything all around. In a matter of days we're talking often and hanging out outside of school, usually with a group of other friends. He calls me "dear" and "dearest" and touches my leg when we sit next to each other and teases me about how I'm a good foot shorter than him, all regular flirty stuff. However, his ex-girlfriend who broke up with him around 7 weeks ago and destroyed him is toying with him again. He does talk to me about her, but not often. He says he's still madly in love with her. And as much as he wouldn't mind dating her, he doesn't want to go through any pain again. And that either way, she'd still be a great friend to have. So is he just playing around with me and we're just friends and he's going to go back together with her? Or is he starting to like me more? How can I get him to get over her and start to get to me?

    I'm sorry BUT he still likes or loves the other girl. Relationships are tough and they never really end. If he's been with this girl for a while, the likelihood of him choosing you over her is very small, unfortunately. I suggest you try and keep your distance so your feelings won't become an issue, so you will be able to maintain your friendship.

    The harder you work at getting him, the less likely it is that he will choose you over her because he will try and manipulate you to get two for the price of one.

    I just recently went through something of the sort. It just takes time and patience. If he doesn't talk much about her; he probably doesn't want you to think much of her.

    I think you should wait it out or talk to him and see if feelings are mutual.

    When your truly in love with someone I dont think you ever get over them. If he really loved her he wont just get over her like nothing, and if he does it will take LOTS of time. he seems to like you but you cant expect him to drop his feelings about someone he cared about. i guess try and look passed that. put yourself in his shoes. :o
