Default Talking to an X's best friend...advice.

Ok-

Long story short. I am 2 years apart from one of my x girlfriends. We talked a month ago and mended a bunch of stuff after not talking for 2 years. Long story short her best friend (who I have always had a thing for) is single and I want to talk to her.

I guess I just dont know what approach to take. I was kind of sort of trying to meet her when I met my X.

Any help on this or opinions would be apreciated.

Thanks!

Rob.

These are the guys to talk to - they know everything there is to know about women.

Well let's see. There isn't a problem with you going after your x's best friend. If she is her true friend, then she would try to take the right approach to things if she wanted to date you. Like, talking to your x about everything and making sure she won't screw her friendship up over a guy. In the long run I’d think it might cause trouble because that would be kind of weird... Unless your x is really cool about everything and has moved on completely.

In the words of Patrick_Bateman:

"hit it and quit it son"......or just lick it and stick it.

Didn't you just get divorced dude? I would go have some fun and wait a while before thinking about getting serious again.

I don't like this....
I guess I'm just sensitive when it comes to things like this, but you said you ALWAYS had a thing for her???
That's kinda messed up....was this during the time you were with your Ex?

That's really the only thing I don't like about it, otherwise, if she's your ex, and she's married, and everyone is mature about the situation, and the friend is willing, then I don't see what the problem is.

But you know the two of them will be talking about you, right?

I think you should just take it slow. You have been through alot with the divorce. HMmmm. But if the x is now married, why should she have a problem with you seeking info or being interested in the friend. Maybe talk to her and let her know how you feel, if you plan to pursue this.

Adults, right???

I see Jenny's point, but have never xperienced having an x interested in my friends or anything... oh acutally my sister. She went for it.. beatch...

Man, if the ex is married now, her friend is fair game. Its also been 2 years since you broke up with your ex...thats plenty of time.

Now, if it were 2 months after your breakup, I would call you a shady piece of trash, but thats definitely not the case.

I'll be honest....the girl im dating now was good friends with my ex....what it really comes down to is this: you cant base your decisions on what your ex is going to think or how she is going to react, youve got to do it for yourself if its what you want...as once said "ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR." good luck...i caught a little sh*t for it right when i started dating my ex's friend...but once people realize you genuinely care about her, or if it falls through, then everyone quits caring. i say go for it.

Ha, this is why I pickup girls. Usually our friend base is completely different and when/if I burn bridges I don't really have to see them again if I don't want to

Yea, I'm an asshole.

Yea I did just get out of a divorce...and since I posted this I just kind of gave up on the whole thing. I find myself jumping in different directions spontaneously without any thought because I am really confused in that department right now.

I have decided to just take everything slow and not worry about girls for now. I just hate being a lone which was making me act out of character and try and talk to every girl I could think of lol. Eh with all the stress over the last few months I guess I am allowed to have misguided thoughts every once in a while.

Hanna- No I didnt have a "thing" for her when I was with my ex. Shes dropdead gorgeous and I always thought that but as far as a "thing" or "feelings" they never developed. I have just always thought that she was a very cool and intersesting person thats all.

shoot man, dont be afraid to be spontaneous about chicks...if your just out a divorce you need to get back out there again and see whats on the menu...then when you find the right thing on the menu, order that sh*t.

im pretty impressed with my metaphor there lol
