Steve83 answered Tuesday November 27 2007, 5:57 pm: I think that if you like him, you should find out how much he likes you. It would be very difficult if you fell for him, and he only liked you to a point. If his flirting bothers you, let him know. Lots of people start out flirting, and then it leads to something else. Trust me, I've had gfs who liked to flirt and then they cheated on me. It's not fun. But as for him being your ex hookups best friend, that really shouldn't matter. If they were friends, he should be happy that you found someone who makes you happy, and the same for his friend. Seeing it as "You are hooking up with MY ex, that's not cool." is just plain selfish. As long as he isn't lead to believe you two have a second chance that is. [ Steve83's advice column | Ask Steve83 A Question ]

LM answered Tuesday November 27 2007, 11:41 am: Don't let a hook-up stop you. You didn't date him so you shouldn't have anything to worry about (unless this guy isn't over you, then there might be a problem- but that's not your problem to deal with).
At the same time, hiding a relationship never works, especially from best friends. If you like him, go for it.
Brandi_S answered Tuesday November 27 2007, 11:26 am: Why would you not be able to have anything with him if you end up falling for each other? Because of your ex "hook-up?"
Falling for someone and starting a relationship with someone holds more importance than what an ex hook-up has to say.
I mean, seriously, a hook-up is ONLY a hook-up.
killerface answered Tuesday November 27 2007, 10:30 am: Honesty is the best policy. Tell whoever you feel should know you two are together now, or going to be soon, or whatever is going on at the moment. A kid should know when his best friend's with his ex.
