Males and Females point of view to this situation

Sandra

I'm currently in a situation that is difficult to decide on what I should do.... this how it started..... I met this guy from a friend of we met on the ps4 first then in person few days later.... he was in a current situation with a female that he had feelings for at the moment but was not together... the connection he had with was strong as of what he told me.. in her situation he doesn't have a job she sells on the streets for money as in weed.. she has a man that goes back in fourth in and out of jail. so what happened was that the step baby father was released from jail and when found out she left this person for the step baby father because of her reason that the daughter gets along with the child more and more which he didn't much tell me..Next thing u know they stop talking to each other and he was telling me all this situation..so after days later our friend was talking to us okay u just out of a relationship, your not looking for anything serious. "y don't you guys be friends with benefits?" and we both agreed to it y not.. after we made the decision I told him myself now if we r gonna do this no feelings or emotions attachment" he replied as in "ofc." he told me he could control his feelings and so did i.. boy i was wrong.. i started to have feelings. it wasn't so much of the sex it was how mature, sweet, kind, funny, and personality is what got to me.. 2 months later she comes back text him and stuff and he replies back while step baby father is still around telling him she misses him and all that and she wants to get herself together...days later the step babyfatehr is back jail she comes back completely talking to him fully... during all this process we acted like we were a thing and people kept asking r u guys together? why not? you guys look cute together.. you guys should work something out.. he should he had feelings for me and he even told me in his own words he said " I do have feelings for you, you have a beautiful personality, your very attractive, I love how you support and motivate me I like the fact u care about others then yourself I like the fact that u chip in to help when u can instead of me paying for everything like most females do." and "you don't think I think about this everyday I have you then I have her I don't wanna hurt either of u that's the one thing I don't want to do." " but I don't wanna lose you out my life." and when I told him "I have to get rid of my feelings from u" and he said "y?" I respond as in. "because Ik for a fact we not gonna be more then just friends" and he said " you don't know that things can change." in my mind I'm like how long and i don't wanna wait forever you knows. We spoke about all this and he hurt because he is afraid that he is gonna lose me completely and that's what he doesn't want. he even tells me when him and his ex text and calls him and he tells me what they talk about. I like the fact that he is hoesnt with me.. at the the end if the day I can't get mad at him u know I'm not gonna fight to change his feelings towards her or w.e the case maybe I'm not w.e are all grown.. my question is now what should I do in this situation I need a male and females opinion please help me..
