I'm a 15 year old female, and I dated this guy for about a month, and then he dumped me. I was heartbroken because I really like this guy a lot and I got really far with him. Not sex, but almost. I'm trying to get over him, but I still like him a lot. There's also this other guy that I've been friends with for a few months, and I'm starting to like him. I want to ask him out but I'm not sure whether I should wait until I'm completely over the other guy or not.

And seeing as though you've already found someone else, it should be a done deal, right? Yeah--It's not that easy...
I think it's good that you've found a new guy, because that keeps your mind off of the ex. But I also believe that you shouldn't ask him out right now. My reason for saying this is because if you date your new guy before you're completely over the ex, then you might compare the new guy to your ex. And comparing those two would lead to a fight, and then the whole relationship would go to hell.
So my best advice is to keep your mind set on the new guy, until you feel like you just don't care about the ex anymore. And then, ask him out. It'll give you something to do in the meantime, right? [ A.Good.Lie's advice column | Ask A.Good.Lie A Question ]
