How crazy would it be if I moved in near my "ex"

[Cheeseplantcrack]

Ok not not really an ex.. more so someone I had a 'fling' with, once in the summer of 2020 and again in the summer last year. Both times ended not great but not awful either. We were "seeing how things go" but it didnt "go" anywhere, both times, mostly due to him just not having time for me and me getting sick of it. We tried but it wasnt meant to be. All good. Last I saw him was almost a year ago.
I'm applying for a house and I'm in good running to get one that I've bid on.
It's in a lovely location, good school, nice affordable house etc.. trouble is, it could be on his street 😬
I knew when I looked at it it was in his area (it's a small town/village) and obviously cant remember his street name. All i had to go on was the name of the steet for the house I bid on. It looked to be a few streets down from him which I could handle (I remember this because I got lost there the first time I went to his so I remember that particular part of the area).. what I didnt know is that that street takes up most of the area (so that is his fucking street!) not just the one strip google maps showed me when I was checking it out. 😫
I so desperately want to move for various reasons and would be ecstatic if it wasnt for this.. situation.. wwyd??
Will I look crazy if I did move there?
I have no intention on speaking to him but also have no grudge against him either. I wouldnt make things awkward or anything but what if he thinks I'm stalking him!? 😅 (I'm probably over thinking it..)

So anyway, sorry for rambling on. I just wanted some opinions from others (the move isnt even happening yet but it is giving me something to think about haha)

Wwyd?

100% move there. You've had sex with him twice and you may not get this opportunity for housing again.

What will you tell the council of you refuse 'someone I used to know lives in the road' ?

These lovely properties are like hens teeth, you'd be mad not to get all the positives because of a past short relationship.

Take the property, you don't even know if he still lives there, he might have moved?
You can't let something to casual that ended amicably stop you getting a great house.

If and when you bump into him on the street be bright and breezy, 'funny old world, I got offered this house, didn't recognise the road name but there you go. How's your job (or other non personal area of life) going?
Well, nice to see you, I've got to get going, see you around'

Thanks everyone.

Oh good I'm glad that's the way other people are viewing it, some clarity for my over thinking brain 😅
Hes was a nice enough guy so cant see him making an issue out of it.. I just wondered if it'd be weird but I suppose coming across as a weirdo for a short amount of time would be a small price to pay anyway!

Are you moving to West Covina, Rebecca?

(light-hearted)

Go for it, live your life, do what works for you and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

Take the house, I live on a small cul de sac and hardly see my neighbours apart from the odd wave or whatever.
