Problems with friends girl.....

[Mr 5 0]

In my experience these 'Dating my Best Friend's Ex' situations are tricky and either go great and everyone is happy or, much more often, go bad and everyone is miserable.

No need to for me to amplify what's already been said here as I agree with the cautious approach most advise.

The main thing is that your friend feels positive that he and the girl in question broke up on their own and that he doesn't feel that you pushed it along behind his back...which he may eventually believe anyway, even if it isn't true.

What the girl does is up to her but I'm sure she subconsciously enjoys the attention of two guys, even if yours is platonic, so far.

Personally, I wouldn't touch this girl beyond a platonic friendship as the whole situation carries way too much baggage and were it me, I would prefer someone a little less unencumbered and a less potentially divisive dating situation. But that's just me.
