What is the best way to help your friend through his break up?

That's a difficult situation but I think that you should wait it out. Listen to him as he talks of the break up but if you are not in love with him do not give him ideas that might make him think that you love him. It's difficult but I know that you can make it through.

Hi, this might be hard for you to do, but if he just got out of a breakup it is better that you wait sometime before getting in a relationship with him, if you have feelings for him you are not the best person to help him in getting through this, because those feelings will get in the way, let him sort it out on his own, i know this will be hard for you, he can be confused if he still has feelings for his ex, or because he just found out that you have feelings for him, and he was used to seeing you as a friend. Hope this helps, good luck and be strong!

I think for now just take it easy. Don't ruin a friendship, but for now if ever just still be friends. I believe in rebound stage. Let him heal the wounds first, and it's just doesn't take a day with a broken heart. Of course at this point of time he still love her it's not a question that they broke up. He is still confused with her feelings, and emotions and still lonely about it. I think for now let him really time to think and realize things.Love can always wait. If it's really meant for you. Have a nice day!

Nope. I don't recommended you to step in, -not prohibited but just not now- because he still needs time. Unless he's the one being broken up, that may ease a bit. He is the one who made the decision, but lately he won't eager to accept for the decision. When a man is confused about the recognition of his emotional about love -even though he's the one who made the decision-, that means his mind majorly is still about her. He is in the regret phase right now.

Whatever you do, it's hard to bend him. Even if you want him moving on, a man must be satisfied with a logical reason that is a convincing of -de facto-. If he grabs that emotional satisfaction already, next half is depending on current woman how to convince her love to him. Because his ex-reflection will be sometimes floating back again into his mind, especially a girl who he really loved.

Actually, I suggest you to start with someone, not a man with this condition. He still needs his time to heal the wound, before he really comes back with a peace (means he already decides to forget it all).

Currently dont go to talk about yourself with him as he will be still having feelings for his ex. be as you were like a good friend and try to be there for him.
show him the love and care he needs as he really needs some.

try to divert him from thinking about what happened, usually funny stuffs work.

and as time passes and if he has feelings for you and if he is showing any such signs its time to talk about your feelings.
