This is the person who was needing advice earlier who went to the dance with her x.. and it was a little bit akward
well we havent talked sense friday (so a week and a day today)
But as you know we dated for 21 months we were very close but we broke up over a month ago because he says we need space. Now we arent going to date again (he said maybe next year.. but im not waiting that long) Yes i do love him, i love him alot. But its hard to love someone when they dont love you back and want to string you along til next year. Although me and his roommate have gotten pretty close (we were friends like 3 monts before the breakup) and we just seeing eachother in "that way" i guess you could say, and now we sort of have a thing for eachother. His roommate doesnt know i have a thing for him i just told him we'd talk later this weekend when he told me that he really liked me. What should i do? this happans to be my x bf of almost 2 years roommate.. (they arent the best of friends either..)&& what do i say when me and his roommate talk about our liking towards eachother?
please help you give the best advice

Well first thing is first, I remember answering that question, well it seems like you took my advice and tried to move on, and thats good. I definitly do not think that it would be a good idea for you to wait the year for your ex, or even go out with him in a year when he "doesn't need space anymore".
I don't think that it would be a big deal for you to go out with the roommate, lets call him joe. Joe is a totally different person than your ex, and just because they live in the same room doesnt mean that you can't go out with him if you want. But you have to figure out if you actually want to go out with him or not. If you do, then tell him that, he obviously likes you, so theres nothing to be afraid of, in letting everything out, but if you don't like him, tell him that you are still trying to get over your ex and you need a bit of time.
I think that by "I have a thing for him" you mean that you like him, lol, so you can forget the second part, but remember, if all you want with joe is a fling or a rebound, DON'T because you'll hurt the both of you, and make sure he knows its not a fling because then it gives him the right to dump you in three weeks and move on, which may be fine, but I can tell by your last relationship, that three weeks isnt a usual relationship for you.
So what do you say? Well, you should be really honest. Try and tell him how you feel and talk to him in a way that shows that you want to go out with him, but don't be too clingy. It's complicated, but if you try to act like you like him, but you also don't care if he doesnt want to ask you out, then it will probably be okay. Remember that he already put himself out there and told you he liked you (or whatever he said) and now it's your turn, so show him you like him, and be truthful.
In any relatioship, starting off with the truth is best, and as long as you show him you like him and don't hide anything from him, life should go smoothly.
Good luck with your new relationship (hopefully) and have a great time. Thanks for asking me, and telling me I'm the best (what can you say to that :D). If theres anything else let me know! Hopefully I cant get back to you faster next time! Love ya,
