I recently started dating this guy who I really like. I'm pretty sure he is into me as well.

 

I broke up with my long term bf of 5 years a few months ago and have been trying out the "let's be friends" thing. However, he always tells me that he is still in love with me, but I don't feel the same way. :confused:

 

Is it a bad idea to keep talking to my Ex while I am involved with this new guy?

 

Would the new guy feel uncomfortable?

I think the new guy would be uncomfortable. And I would probably definately end it with your ex. I at least (in my not so vast experience) know what its like to be a guy madly in love with a girl and in the middle of the relationship she gains feelings for another guy and ends it and tries to be friends but frankly it does not work at all.... Because the whole time I was thinking about how to get back with this girl and didn't care about anything else. It was only till after we basically stopped having any contact with each other whatsoever I could move on, it was always too uncomfortable for me to talk to her or be around her knowing she was with someone else, so having seperation and forgetting her was sort of the process of moving on for me. Its situational because its not impossible to be friends, but I see a trainwreck waiting to happen with it because feelings are still there and the hope is still there and it makes it harder to move on.
