So far over the last week I have heard things like my ex still likes me and stuff, I know it's wrong to get back with her after she hurt me as badly as she did but I don't know what I would do if she asked. Please someone help

i wouldnt go down that path again. as soon as you start to question yourself through the fault of another that is when you start to realise 'hold on a minute thats wasnt my doing! yet im the one still hurting'. Unless she has come to you with an open heart, a honest outlook and a regretful mind then i wouldnt believe all that you hear, people love to stir and what youve heard may not add up to whats actually been said.
you obviously still have feelings or else you wouldnt question it but dont just loose your mind, never forget the past and the reason that its there. Shes hurt you,dont put yourself up for it a second time around. do remember you have somebody so even questioning your ex shouldnt be on the table! moving forward is what you need and youre not going to do that if your heart and mind is with somebody else, let the girl you are cureently with no i dont feel you are ready to commit just yet. sort your head and your feelings first and then go for a relationship when the time is right and your hearts really in it.
best of luck xxx

And of course if you date her best friend you will be reminded of her! I think you need to take a break, take a step back and figure out what it is you really want.
