writes:I dated my ex boyfriend for about 6 months. We have been broken up for about the same amount of time now ( he broke up with me and started dating his ex) i was sad because we got along great and things were getting a bit serious between us, so it kinda took me by surpsie.... so after the break up ive been stupid so we have still been seeing each other and sleeping together every now and then.... and just rescently hopefully we stopped. we had a talk few days ago that it will stop for sure this time!!! i know that he still has feelings for me and i do for him also, but it is not love...and i really just want to move on from him.i have been trying to date since we have been broken up but i have not been able to meet anyone i like and that i dont compare to him. well about a month ago i met a guy that i am finally a little interested in. just rescently we have been only texting back and forth, i never actually met up with him. the issue i have: He is one of my exes friends!! weird thing is i would NEVER do that, but i have not met this guy through my ex, i met him randomly and by some crazy coincidence, they have known each other for 5 yrs and are good friends that just havent hung out in a while... my question is, would it be weird if i was to go on a date with him. i dont know if this new guy told my ex he is interested in me, but he did ask me if i dated him and for how long, he didnt really say much else. i just changed the subject.i dont want my ex to think im trying to linger on around his friends or to make him jealous because thats something i actually would not want to do purposly... but am i afraid to date this guy because of this reason. What should i do? should i give this guy a chance or is just too weird to date my exes friend!?!? i really cant imagine how it would be, maybe too weird.. ive never been in this situation, any advice is appreciated!! thank you!!!

I would step away from both of them. You're not really over the first guy, becuse if you were, you wouldn't be asking this question. Also, if your feeligs were strong enough for this new guy, you'd jump at the chance to take it further. Don't bother with either and gibe yourself time to get over your ex. When you're ready, find another guy. There are others out there.
