Question - (9 April 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 8 May 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I recently started dating a new guy. He broke off a 1 1/2 year relationship with his ex 6 months ago. They had been friends over 10 years before and she constantly tried to go out with him. She finally succeeded at a party when he was drinking and they started dating after that. He said he was never really attracted to her, but he could make her laugh a lot and she was 'comfortable'. They broke up because he wasn't romantic enough towards her (never said I love you once to each other in a year and a 1/2).

So, my problems are... 1) Should I worry about her trying too hard when they hang out to get him back? she's tried before and they're still friends, she'll prolly try again, so what should I do?? and 2) She's friends with ALL his friends, she's number one on all his and his friends myspace friends lists. He says shes just the kinda girl that everyone really likes. How am I supposed to compete when I hang out with his friends? I really like this guy and I'm worried that if she's that great, how can I be compared to her and come out on top or at least even? Even with him: he seems like he's over her (he's had another girlfriend inbetween us) but he really values their friendship and talks really really positivly about her... I don't mind them being friends, but... really really close friends... and with all his friends?

Dont bother with him. Too much history that aint actually history yet that you will get caught up in by the sounds of it.
