Would you get into a relationship, With a soldier going to Iraq?? Options

[*icecreamisyummy*]

So this guy ive been talking to has asked me to be his gf twice now. the first time i said no, because i hadn't seen him in a while. Now he jsut found out he'll be sent back to Iraq in about 2 weeks and asked to be my bf again...but in much serious terms. I really do like him and he really likes me. My best friend is against it and doesnt want me doing it because of the emotional impact it will cause.

now the other problem is, i just got otu of a serious relationship about a month or so ago. me and my ex still hang out* and what not. we both love one another, but we've had our issues and he said theres no chance between us now after what happened this past weekend. in a way i wanna believe him, but idk if he's being serious or not... i mean, he keeps showing up at my house he keeps calling.

so do i get into a relationship with someone who will be able to give me everythign and treat me how i should be treated, after he gets bck from iraq, or do i just sit around waiting for the guy i love to come to his senses?

of course theres more to all this but i dont want to bore you guys.
