OK, so I'm feeling this girl really bad, but she lives with an ex, and while I respect the dude and them living together, and it doesn't bother me I want people to stop giving me all the "what if's" cause if I live my life by what if I do this or don't do that I'm going to cheat myself out of any kind of happiness, I want to ask her out officially, but to kill the rumors, what should I do?

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life? phoenixrise answered Thursday May 5 2011, 5:52 pm: So, you're unsure of whether to ask this girl out because it sounds potentially complicated, and because you're unsure of what her relationship is to this guy, this "ex" of hers, no? Do you know how long they went out for, what their future living plans are, or if she lives with anyone else? Does she want to change her living arrangements? What is she looking for? More importantly, what bearing to these questions have on your next move? Ultimately, much like with any potential dating scenario, you want to have the information first, to make sure you're not wasting your time or setting yourself up for heartbreak. You can try to find the answers to your questions, but its more important that you figure out what relevance the answers hold for you. Do you think you stand a chance? You can jump in, feet first, or you can approach with caution. Evaluate the situation, and your feelings on it, and make your choice. If you fear getting crushed, perhaps take things slowly on this one. - Phoenix [ phoenixrise's advice column | Ask phoenixrise A Question ]
