Bros before hoes, and chicks before dicks, are the 2 stupidest mottos I've ever heard.
Personally I think its the funniest thing, because as you get older, say early to mid 20s, all of a sudden the "bros" you chose over the "hoes" are now MARRYING the same hoes, and you're left in the cold...I've seen it happen countless times,and still no one learns.
I do agree with what was said above: give it time. Its normal for someone to desire time alone after a long term relationship. Doesn't mean its ok to go hog wild and screw half the town, but I'm sure she'll want a period to re evaluate what she wants from a boyfriend.
I find it sad that you would consider NOT pursuing a girl you convey as being a great person because you're worried about the feelings of a friend who insists that you take that same wonderful girl "off his hands". Sounds like a real winner to me...NOT. No wonder stuff isn't going well between them...that is a total sign of disrespect.
Also, ANY rational person (and good friend) should understand that stuff didnt work out...PERIOD. Just because you could find happiness with his ex doesn't mean the same destiny was meant for him, or that suddenly he realizes the relationship was utter bliss, blah blah etc etc.
BTW: I'm not saying you shouldn't care about your friend's feelings. I'm just saying, if he truly is your friend, he would want you to be happy, and if you can find it with a girl he wanted "off his hands"...why not?
