Break

My have been with my boyfriend for 7years right now we are on a break, we are giving each other time... Well he needs it more than me... He cheated on me and he made the girl get an abortion because she was just an adventure for him a year ago. I forgave him, but we are on a break because he needs to forgive himself then move along. He claims that is me who he wants so M willing to stick around until he gives himself that time...

So, recently I get a text from an old friend. He is talking to be n I clearly tell him I have a bf n I love him very much. Nothing can go with us. He agrees, he still flirts with me but I stop it or just don't go along. He notices but he is still okay with it. Should I go to a friendly dinner with him or no??? Any advice on my topic...
