Why are you trying to put the screws to your ex by dating his friend? Quote I never met his guy before, I never knew he was a friend of my exes. I recently accepted a date Friday with a guy, it was very last minute but he was persistent. anyway, my friend called my during our date so I excused myself to answer and explained she was going through a difficult time. He understood and we then got onto the topics of friends. He began chatting about his friend, he started mentioning things, that I then started to think it couldn’t be my ex could it? He showed me a picture and low and behold it was my ex I later texted him explaining that his friend was my ex and that it would be awkward. He told me he didn’t care and that he wanted to see me again. . You need to re-read the OP--she had no idea who he was until his story began sounding like he knew her ex.

assertives Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I for one, don't believe this was all a coincidence. Not in the slightest. My first suspicion was that they both set you up together. It's so weird to be randomly talking about his best friend at a first date to this detail when he barely even knows you. Showing you a picture of his friend (your ex) makes it even more weird. Again, he presum8 doesn't know you before this. Almost felt like that picture was for added measure. Perhaps you can look at his persistence in setting up the first date in the begining in a different light with what you know now. I wouldn't pursue anything further with this guy. Someone who would s*** on his best friend to a stranger on a first date isn't someone you can safely trust he wouldn't do the same to you if you guys ended up in a long-term relationship. Also, the idea of an ex discussing/giving or comparing notes and experience with the person you are currently dating is not a nice feeling. Edited March 19, 2020 by assertives 1 1

Showing you a picture of his friend (your ex) makes it even more weird. I think the "best friend" has had eyes on you for a while. He knew exactly who you were, even though you didn't realize the connection with him and your ex. That's why he brought the ex up and went so far as to show a picture to gauge your reaction. Now, why would he do this? No one here knows, but proceed with caution. I think he scoped you out online and made the connection before ever swooping in.
JTSW Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 I have to agree with people who say this is a set up. It is weird that he talked at length about your ex of all people. Even weirder that he showed you a photo of him. Why? What was the purpose of that? Don't trust either of them and stay away from them.
Fletch Lives Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 I agree with the above posters, this is some kind of manipulation.
