Q: First of all... my friend broke up with her ex a few months ago. He was devastated, and they never got back together. She likes someone else now.
Well, I liked her ex for a little while, but it was just a little crush, and it faded away (I told her I liked him, and then I told her that I didn't like him anymore).
A few days after I told her I didn't like him anymore, she confessed to me that she would be really jealous if he went out with anyone, since she still kinda has feelings for him. But, she likes someone else (who likes her back) and said that she wasn't going to go out with her ex again.
But now.. I like her ex again. He's so perfect. It's more than just a little crush. But she doesn't know that I like him again. I know I should talk to her about it, but how do I do that? What should I do? Thanks!

Oh...this is a interesting problem. Well although your best friend would be jealous if he dated anyone else, she DID dump him and he isn't hers to protect. You should definatly talk to her and just tell her that you understand how she would still be jealous over his future girlfriends, but he isn't hers and she has moved on and he's allowed to also. Also, if she is really your friend she will get over it if you like her ex. Remind her also he is her EX BOYFRIEND!!!! And she should accept that you like him and if she doesn't, explain that your not doing this to piss her off, it's just a feeling that you got and you can't control whether you like someone or not. She should understand since she obviously still has feelings for him too.
