So i dated my ex for 5 years, and now she has moved or starting to move on, but still texts me every now and then.

 

Last night, i went to a club, and i saw her best friend (they only started becoming friends after we broke up). She ran into me, and started talking to me and she started holding my hand. A couple hours later, i ran into her again, where she started stroking my suit jacket, and being very flirty. What signal was she trying to give off there?

 

She is absolutely gorgeous, and she kept looking at me the whole night. My ex texted me early in the morning asking why did i talk to her, when the best friend approached me. Should i ask the girl out on the date? She seems quite interested, and my ex says not to go after her friends, but my train of thought was, what kind of friend is that, for her to hit on and talk to me.

 

Thoughts?

Not sure who dumped who.

 

If she dumped you, completely fair play.

 

If you dumped her, a little more complicated, but who you date is no one's business.

 

First of all, the friend may have been drunk and flirting, so you're reading a lot into a little. If you were going to ask her out, you should deal with the elephant in the room and say you don't want to interfere with their friendship but you would like to get to know her more.

 

Good luck. Tricky.

I think You should back off and see other women.

If that girl is doing her friend dirty - like that, she might do you dirty.

Date other women, but keep it casual with the ex's best friend.

 

Can be casual and still have fun, but dont pursue it.

I hope you know where I'm going here

I wouldn't back off if I was this guy especially if she's the one who dumped him. Ofcoz it will look like OP tryna have revenge but still I would date the 'gorgeous' friend knowing very well that it will wreck my Ex's emotions.

then go for it, if its just a fling or something not so serious than don't do it.

Weigh up the fact you will hurt some people verses your feelings - if one is heavier than the other then do that.

You're going to do what you want to do. I think it says a lot about the two persons' character who is trying to do the hooking up here. One would be worthy of being an ex and the other would be worthy of being an ex best friend.

 

 

5 years is a long time in someone's life.
