Long distance?

I went on holiday last summer and met 2 guys. They were cousins named Alex and Ben. I really liked Alex and he seemed to be flirting with me, then he went away for a few days. Me and Ben got close, and he told me that Alex had a girlfriend. I was devastated that Alex had lplayed with me, so I turned to Ben and we ended up going out.

When Alex came back he hardly talked to me, and then I left and came back to England anyway. Me and Ben had broken up because we agreed it wouldn't be wise to carry on a long distance relationship.

On msn Alex didn't talk to me very much and didn't answer me most of the times. One day he was drunk I think and he came on msn and told me that he really liked me in the summer, and still does but he can't speak to me because I went out with his cousin, although when he found out that he lied to me about him having a girlfriend he got really pissed off.

Anyway after that he seemed to talk to me more often on msn and he says that he can't wait for me to go on holiday because he wants to see me and will be there when i go on holiday and said to stay there as much as I can.

Ben on the other hand went out with a couple of girls after me and we don't really talk on msn that much.

Do you think Alex will go out with me even though i went out with Ben? (his cousin)

If Alex starts to act cold towards me what should I do to pull him closer and saying that if Ben hadn't lied to me I would have been going out with Alex, would it help?

Thanks for any replies.

Why dont you just talk to Alex about how you feel? I mean explain the situation. I dont understand why if he really likes you its a problem.

Are cousins that close?
