Dating my mate’s ex

Posted by Tom Wilkins on Thu 18th October 2007 at 04:23 AM, Filed in Dating Questions Answered

Hi, I recently went to a club and was hit on by my mate’s ex girlfriend and was completely surprised. We were all dunk and we ended up having a snog away from prying eyes. She has tried to contact me a few times by text but I haven’t responded because I feel so bad about it and am afraid that my mate will go mental as she dumped him over 6 months ago and he was gutted. What should I do?

Hi Glenn

Well it’s quite a compliment that she likes you over your friend but you are right to be concerned about the situation. I suggest that if you like her and can see a future that you go talk to your friend. Tell him that you have feelings for her and she made it clear that she liked you (you can’t beat honesty) and ask whether he would be upset if you dated. If he’s over her then he won’t mind but be prepared that he may still have feelings and you need to make a sacrifice of one form or another. Personally and from experience, your mates should always come first.

Good Luck

Tom
