My friend needs advice.

[Xypher]

He was too lazy to register to the forum (-.-) so he wants me to ask this.

So basically a few months ago he started dating someone, and that person broke up with who they were dating for him. About a month ago he wanted to break up with them, but he didn't know how so he just started to ignore them...Eventually he had cut off all ties with that person and then starting dating someone else....Well recently the first person he started dating cornered him saying what happened to him and he said that something came up financially and he had to deal with it...He didn't tell them that he started dating some one new and all of that...So now he is stuck dating two people and hasn't told either of them about one another....

He needs advice on what to do. I keep telling him that he should just tell the first person that he no longer likes them but he refuses to do that...
