Should I regret trying or regret forgetting about it?

Okay, a bit of background. I'm a single mum and a reg lurker/occasional poster but I know someone who knows my usual name on here.
Approx 8 mths ago I met someone on an internet dating site, we spoke on msn for a while then met up. Both of us were just wanting fun and it was left at that. I was then very ill for a few weeks and didn't log into msn and didn't talk to him.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and we got talking again. He told me he had a girlfriend but that he wanted to see me. I agreed to meet him and the attraction is def still there for both of us but nothing happened. He really didn't sound too happy about his relationship before we met up.
The point of this post is that 2 years ago I missed out on getting together with someone, we liked each other but didn't say anything until he was with someone. Now its happening again and I really want to say something now because I've regretted not saying anything last time.
Should I let him know that I'm interested if he becomes single again?
TIA

i will probably get yelled at for this, but i would. make it clear nothing will happen between you as long as he is not free, but by all means tell him how you feel. he then has a choice to make.

yep I agree, you have nothing to lose.

Good luck X

Thanks, thats the thing my heart is saying tell him, but my head says no because he isn't single. There is no way I would do anything if he still had a girlfriend I've been the girlfriend before and its not nice so I wouldn't do it to someone else.

Talk to him - try to be as open as possible.

I would tell him, its a fairly new relationship by the sounds of things, and its not like his married her or has kids with her. Let him know how you feel, then its his choice.
Good Luck

Yes it is a new relationship, only been together a few weeks. Need to have a think about it, I have no self-confidence so it will be difficult for me.

Been thinking about this half the night, will be having a few drinks with a friend either tonight or tomorrow so will probably email him then.
Sorry for rambling on, am feeling rather annoyed at myself right now.
