Am I taking advantage of him???

Question

Hi ladies, I just recently became single after being in a relationship for 3 years. I’m just trying to enjoy life with friends & an old friend messaged me asking if I’d like to go to a laker game with him 
(Back story)-
He use to really really like me about ehhhh 6 years ago and would go above and beyond but I just didn’t feel the connection so I ended things. No hard feelings. Didn’t go far at all. 
So I haven’t seen him in awhile, anyways he messaged me and I wouldn’t mind having a friendship with him.. saying he’d pay for my ticket and “let’s go”. I told my best friend and she’s saying if I go I’m taking advantage of him?? She kind of got in my head but I don’t see how I am, he offered to pay and it’s not like I’m going to go MIA on him after.
Am I wrong??

Answer

I think you need to make it very clear to him that you still don’t want a romantic relationship with him. If he’s ok with that then I wouldn’t say you’re taking advantage. BUT, if you know he still likes you and you don’t feel the same, I would say don’t go.

Answer

You’re fine have fun! I wouldn’t keep letting him pay for stuff but one time is chill. Buy him some drinks there.

Answer

Do you feel like you’re taking advantage of him? I think that’s the more important question. I don’t see how you can be taking advantage of something that was kindly offered to you.

Answer

Seems like both people have been clear enough with each other.

Answer

Agree. Buy him drinks, and have a good time.

Answer

I don't know, it's kinda tricky this..
First and foremost if you don't want a relationship with him, you should be honest about that.
If he still offers to pay it's not really taking advantage but he may be "cool" being "a friend" even though he would like to be more.. So that could end up in a unbalanced friendship allthough he's doing it it out of his own free will it may not be much better
