I'm going to go out on a limb and say that with regard to how a person feels, you should trust that person more than his friend.  If he tells you he's interested, then you should listen to him.  I'm not sure what would cause his friend to say that he doesn't like you, but it's him you're wanting to date and not his friend.  Thus, it doesn't matter what his friend says about how he feels, only what he says.

As for getting the ex-girlfriend to be your friend, I wouldn't vest all your hope in that.  Ex girlfriends have a way of not liking the new girlfriend.  You're going to have to decide who is more important, the boy or the girl.  Then, make that person your priority and let the chips fall where they may with the other person.  That isn't to say you should stop trying to be her friend, only realize that dating the guy is a priority (or if you choose her over him, then do the opposite).  You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Well it is quite obvious why she is mad at you if you are her friend and you are going after her ex boyfriend. She may not necessarily still hold a torch for him but it is quie upsetting to see one of your mates with your ex.

If this boy tells you he loves you (and it wasn't in a jokey way) then he probably does like you but before entering any sort of relationship you should talk it over with your friend and ask her how she feels about it just out of consideration for her because it can't be easy for her at the moment.

If she says it's not ok then you're going to have to make a decision. It's up to you but friends usually last a lot longer than boyfriends.

Good luck,
Amelle.

I think that your friend has the right to be a little irritated by you. Put yourself in her position. If you had been going out with a guy and he screwed you over, and you broke up. Then your friend started liking him. Wouldn't you feel a little betrayed and a little angry?

It's crossing a big line to pursue things with a friends ex, especially if you have not spoken to your friend about it first. It can be painful to see a friend take interest in someone that you once had feelings for yourself and were in fact in a relationship.

I would suggest that you simply approach your friend about this. Ask her if she is bother by the fact that you like her ex boyfriend. Tell her that you are sorry that you didn't ask her about it first and that you didn't mean to hurt her. Tell her how much you like this guy and if she doesn't want you to pursue anything with him then you'll just have to respect that or stop being friends with this other girl.

As for the actual guy, i personally cannot tell you whether he likes you or not as i am not there experiencing it. I would suggest that you ask him about it. Ask him whether he likes you. Or you could be more subtle by simply inviting him somewhere, sort of like a "subtle date". Without directly saying "Do you wanna go on a date".

I wish you the best of luck and hope that everything turns out the way you want. If you need to message me then please do.
