Bad Choices?

Recently I haven't been making the best of choices with my love life... I feel pretty stupid but it's a learning process right? Recently I ended it with someone I really really liked. He made some stupid decisions and got arrested and I was told by his x while he was in jail that they were getting back together. I asked him if it was true and it was. I told him to have a nice life. I deserve better than that right? I'm tired of tearing up when I think about him! I was sooo stupid now on wednesday I have to sit in a room with him and a ton of other managers from other IHOPs. No he does not work with me right now... But at one time he did. I should have never have liked him or have gotten attached.... I've been hanging out with a good guy friend alot and every once in a while he will stay the night and hold me when we sleep (dont worry we are just sleeping) we fall asleep watching movies. But him and i wont date soo why is it that i start to get feelings. why do i like the guys that i cant have? or why is it that i like the bad boys... i should not date or waste my time on a guy with three current charges... he got out of jail the next day but its still the fact that he back talked a cop then didnt know when to shut up! i need the good guy...... WHY CANT I ACTUALLY GET ONE?
