Ready to move on?

I'm afraid you'll have to take a risk here. On one hand if you reject this new girl and don't move one, I don't think you'll get over your ex. The best medicine for a broken heart is to love again. On the other hand, some times this doesn't work. And when an ex comes back you might get confused and end up hurting somebody. Well I suppose you could start something new but try not to promise so much...

Sounds like you already plan to have a relationship with this other girl! Its just a date! Go have fun. another thing I bet you your ex is dating, EVEN if she says she isn't she is! maybe you need to stop living in the past and move on. You might find a better relationship. Even if you got back with your ex how do you know it would be the same?

Another thing she calls you to keep you hooked b/c you are the back up guy! if she doesn't find someone better, then she will always have you on a string leading you along so she had a BACK-UP plan.... If you ask her this she will say "NO WAY, I just need to find myself" BS!

This is coming from a Female...

Well it would be hurtful for the girl if she was to be lead on and you went back to your ex, but at the same time you have to think about yourself. For 5 months now you've been down and lonely without her, it's about time you found someone new and had some fun. Who's to say this new girl you met couldn't become what your ex was? You could be together for years you just don't know, be positive. Good luck.

Yes. Think about it this way,

The girls you date now are kinda like job interveiws. You can really love a job, but what happens when this job goes out of buisness?

What happens if they come back in buisness?

You'll need another job for that time its' not in buisness.

And wow I used that word enough.

Put it this way, yes you need to go for it. If your X comes back, then you can leave the new girl, you won't hurt her if you let her on your past. But don't be obsessive about it though you don't sound it.

And my Bestfriend is in this same position but is actually dating this guy now, (her second boyfriend really)

and she's doing fine with him.

The other girl is one of the many you will have in your life... move on and know there is always a better girl out there and dont miss a chance because this girl might be her. You may still believe u r in love but u wouldnt know because u havent seen her for a long time. It is time to let go of the past and welcome the present and future... u may always remember the other girl but dont be to clingy or hold on to anything that she might of already let go of.

ok i think it is ok to date even though you still love you ex because your not together anymore. you could just explain to the other girl that you still love your ex but your trying to move on and want to try dating again. and you think that the two of you really hit it off and that you want to consider dating her.

I don't think there is anything wrong with dating.

My "first love" was my first everything too. We've been broken up for 2 years now and I can honestly tell you that you will always have some feelings for them.

no no no. this is one of the cardinal dating mistakes that people make and it ends up hurting everyone in the end. NEVER GET INTO ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP UNTIL YOU ARE OVER THE LAST ONE! It is not fair to anyone involved, especially the girl, if you start dating her. when you start dating someone you are telling them that you are available to them. if your heart is not available, you are not available.

i think u should tell ur ex how u feel then tell the new 1 ur not quite ready b/c u should wait a little while for ur ex cause it may not take that long for her to find herself

it's time to get over your ex. Date th new girl
