Should I take this risk...

I was a guy around four months ago and it didn't work out between us however we are still on speaking terms and I would say we are 'aquaintances' rather than friends. Over the past month or so me and a friend of his have got relatively close. I would be lying if I was to say I did not want to take things further with him, and I know he feels the same. I have told him that I am not ready to jump into a relationship right now and asked him if we could take it slow and see how things progress over the next few weeks. But, the real reason for not entering a relationship with him is because he is one of my ex-boyfriends best friends and it doesn't feel 100% right and I would also feel awkward at social gatherings.

However, I get the feeling that the longer I keep this guy waiting the less he will want me as he may fear I am just leading him on. But like I said I feel quite awkward so I don't know if I should take the risk and forget what other people think or if I should just leave the situation completely?

All opinions and advice appreciated and taken on board. Thank you for reading. x

aisforacting agony auntWell, if it doesn't feel right. I'd say it's a no go. If you really want it and want him. Then go for it, be with him, but think about how your ex will feel.

I feel for you because I have had similar problems.

I think you should try and go out with this guy. Just to see what it's like, have fun, you only live once!

Goodluck!
