I'm conflicted

So there's this guy I find super attractive each time I see him. The issues are that I found him since my first year of high school and he's dated one of my friends and went on a date with another one of them. My ex best friend likes and also we have different views on one specific thing which makes me slightly uncomfortable. He's also like a pick me boy and is really down bad for sex.

I found that out when he was dating my friend. He's a great friend and last year during March break he helped me not want to and myself. So I'm really grateful for him I don't have any romantic attraction to him but I have a lot of physical attraction to him. He's so cute he's my type 100%. But I also heard that he allegedly tried to force himself on a girl.

So that's not great so I'm conflicted because I don't know what to do about these weird feelings. He's a really good friend to me but I'm still grossed out by the fact that he could have done something like that. And I hate that every time I see him I'm just like oh my God. I saw him today like 30 minutes ago when I was grocery shopping with my sister and I look like a flop and he looks so good all the time and it's so annoying.

He was really there for me in March I just needed a hug someone to talk to and he was there. And I know if I asked him out he would say okay because he's desperate. But I won't cuz I feel like I'm going against the girls girl code of going for your friend's ex even though I'm not friends with those people anymore I still feel wrong. And the attraction is solely physical so I don't know I'm conflicted. I am really grateful for him though but I hope he's not as bad as I think he is.
