Ok so I am a 16 year old guy. I dated this one girl for about eleven months. I thought everything was fine but she dumped me. I still liked her though. And I told her this many times but she always told me that she needed time to sort out her feelings, which was fine, I understood. After a few months of this I realized she probably wouldn't like me again so I moved on. I recently found a new girl and she is great. I love talking to her and she is just plain wonderful. Then all of a sudden my ex starts telling me how my new girlfriend is a slut, and that I'm only dating her to get laid, which is totally untrue. Anyway, she tells me that she never really did stop liking me and that she broke up with me so our relationship wouldn't be hurt, and that's stupid in my opinion. Anyways, I'm not going to give up the relationship I have now, but I have been friends with my ex my whole life and I don't want to lose her as a friend. What should I do?
a) This girl has got a bad reputation
b) She knows this girl well and is informing you on what she's like
c) Your ex is jelouse that you've moved on and she hasn't
I can't see why you can't just date this girl and remain friends with your ex. Put it this way, if your ex is jelouse of you going out with this girl then she must still have feelings for you. If she did have feelings for you she would make it clear to you, right? All you can do is just date who you like but tell your ex that you like her alot and you would like to be very close friends with her. If she can't accept that and move on then really it's her loss. If she really liked you she would admire your friendship with her. It's up to her wether or not she want's to drag up the past or move on being your friend. Having a friend is better than having no one at all, believe me. Daniel. [ jumadel's advice column | Ask jumadel A Question ]
