Ebony123 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 On Saturday night I ran into a guy who used to be friends with my ex, and he introduced me to another man. We had a friendly conversation and I soon forgot about him as all my thoughts have been with my ex lately. So I just woke up to a Facebook friend request and a message from this guy. In the message he left me his number, said it was nice to meet me and that he hoped we could meet for a drink soon. Now I know him and my ex aren't really close friends, they're in different social circles but they still know each other relatively well and I know they've been on nights out together in the past. My question is, do I get to know this guy? Or do I jut blow him off? I know it's a slightly awkward situation
Calico Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 If you'd get to know him in the hope that it gets back to your ex and he might get jealous and want you back, then no, don't do it. Even if that got you back your ex, it would almost certainly be temporary (and no, that's not the same as another chance!). It would be more about winning the "trophy" (you!) than you as a person. If you were a wall and your ex a cat, it would equal him spraying the corner. You are worth more than that. If you think he's a nice guy and you want a little attention, I say go for it. Many people will disagree with that, and they may be right, but as long as you're cautious and careful, then I think a little warmth and attention may do you some good. It's not without dangers, so keep it light.
