I was seeing a man for about 6 months and we had a very intense relationship and both felt we loved each other. The only reason we stopped seeing each other was that he had to leave the country.

 

Out of the blue, his best friend, who still lives here has texted me asking me to go for a drink. Is there any chance he is not angling for sex and this is purely platonic? In my experience, a man asking you out for a drink, particularly in the evening has connotations of a date.

 

What are your views?

Well, if you feel like going, go out and see what happens....

And if it goes in a direction you're not comfortable with - then don't go there.

 

It's really that simple.

You're not actually obliged to do anything, are you.....?

So...you don't think it would be in bad taste? I like him and always got on well with him.

If you have broken up with the other guy, and you both agree you're both free to date other people, and you have a similar circle of freinds, thus in some form, limiting your options, as it were - no. I don't think it's in bad taste.

it's only in bad taste if it's the same day you break up with your mutual friend, or you haven't actually broken up at all......:cool:
