There's this guy I've know for a while. He's been in a relationship with someone for a while and apparently had broken up. Well the thing is he's been trying to get up with me for like a year. I've refused to do anything with him because he's made it clear to me that he wants to play and I'm not going to mess with another guy's bf. However, now he tells me he's single and so on...
I'm like 99% sure he is a charmer and probably has cheated on his recent ex numerous times. I don't have all the facts, I hear things from friends and you know how that goes. I've heard things about people and sometimes they're right or terribly wrong.
The problem I see with him is that he already shown he can't be trusted, at least not in a relationship. I don't know how I feel about go forth with a friendship or even anything sexual.
Never met him or anything but have been talking off and on for a while now and who knows.... Probably going to be one "I've got a bad feeling about this."

Your desperation is showing.
Sorry. That was blunt as fuck, but I don't mean it as in "cover it up" type of thing and move on. I mean that your desire for friendship/relationship with others is overshadowing your instinct.
Everything said in your post sounds like your instincts telling you a big fat "BAD IDEA" that you hedge around and poke at, but don't actually want to believe is true.
Listen to your instincts, yeah?
IMO, friendships (like relationships) are built on trust. If you can't trust him, he's not your friend.

I think you've answered your own question.

I would definitely stay away from that guy. even if you do just become friends with benefits it sounds like you could still get sucked into his drama.

From the sounds of it I probably don't want the benefits package...
He (claims to) enjoy things like biking and camping, outdoorsy type which hey I like biking and I want to go camping and stuff but given everything else pretty sure it is going to be a slippery slope with him most certainly trying to get in my pants.
Ugh... Why is it always difficult to find (and keep) friends... I mean I'm partly to blame with all of my misdeeds.
The thing about moral compasses is that people who lack them don't necessarily know that they are lacking them. I mean I can't quite wrap it around my head being able to cheat on my future bf and not have guilty thoughts galore. I mean you either have to endure the guilt or you aren't capable of feeling guilt. It would be one thing if they had an open relationship....I think I questioned him about that once and I don't think I got an answer...
Hmm... I don't think it's why would I want to date or be involved with someone like him... I think it is why do I keep looking over major character flaws. Desperation for find make friends, dates, w/e? Probably has something to do with it, but I do find that in the past I would look past a lot of things.
Which brings me to this funny story. Just a few days ago I get a random text from a number I don't recognize asking me "if I needed any?" and I'm like wth, someone is trying to sell me drugs. I text back saying "I don't know who you are and I don't want the drugs you are selling." I soon find out it is my ex from 7 years ago... I have no clue how he got my number because I don't think I had the same number that far back...but who knows. I guess I just need to be more objective and stop going for the benefit of the doubt crap.
