Dear Fonseca,

I met a guy online about a month ago. We went out once and then he ghosted me. On Sunday, he started texting me again and admitted he had been dating another woman until recently. When they broke up, he contacted me. My friend says I should ghost him and block his number. My sister says that I should date him because he has realized I am better than the other woman. She thinks he will treat me like a queen. Who is right... my friend or my sister? Should I give him a second chance? Am I the 'backup plan'?
