Still in love with my "ex" should I go on this date?

[andys]

You can see from my other thread, I'm still really hurt over my recent short relationship with a co-worker I've been crazy about. Basically we liked each other for ages, got together for a month, then she dumped me, and today I've just found out she has a new boyfriend (or maybe she was seeing him at the same time as me too).

 

I need to move on, but still work with her, which is going to be hard.

 

I joined a dating website in the last couple of weeks, and been chatting to a girl on there who seems quite keen, she wants to meet up this week. I've never met anyone/done on-line dating, but I'm not looking too forward to it. Should I go on this?

 

I'm torn as to weather it might help/hinder my progress, especially as I'll have been with the ex all day at work prior and next day.

This could go both ways, but I'd say to go on the date. Conventional wisdom would tell you not to start dating again until you're over an ex, as any new girl should never be subjected to being second best in your mind. However, this could be a good opportunity to get yourself out of your little mental rut and meet someone who could be very cool. Just go out, enjoy the girl's company, and have fun on the date. It's just a date.

Thanks, I suppose it's worth a shot. I am already comparing her though, she isn't as pretty as my ex... But I suppose you don't know unless you try, at least it might start me on the dating path again.

I would recommend it. You may find yourself surprised. Good luck!

Thanks, I'll go along with no expectations, if we don't gel then we can just hang out, might even get a new friend out of it.

I would tell her, lets meet as friends and see where it goes from there. Tell her no expectations.

 

I have made and met friends online. I met my husband online.

 

Just keep it casual.
