Dating my XH friend?

[Rockinmomma]

Soooo, went out a few evenings ago with XH and kids, local pub. X invited a new friend he’s made. Long and short of it is I found him attractive. Don’t know if that’s ok or what to do about it? Also don’t know if it’s mutual. Advice desperately needed!

Oh dear, this won't end well....

You sit on your hands and do nothing. That’s what you do.

Bit of an odd thing to do to invite a random single friend out with your ex and kids isn't it? Wqs he trying to set you up together do you think?

I wouldn't. He likely won't be interested or take you seriously anyway, especially

(a) having seen you out socially with your XH &

(b) the awkwardness thing. He may value his friendship with your XH above you & also not want the hassle of explanations etc

Yes, sure the exH setting up a date for the ex wife, sounds very plausible! (Not)

X did say ‘Do you want his number?’ pretty sure he was joking though. We separated 4 years ago, fairly civil now

You would only invite that kind of complication into your life if you love the drama.

Do nothing. Will lead to a load of hassle.

It does remind me of ‘How I met your mother’

Look, maybe he does want to set you up. Do you have that sort of civil friendship now? Or are things still awkward?

My only concern would be that he can't even somewhat vouch for this friend as this is a new friend, and if the new friend turns out to be a dbag, you'll be dealing with 2 lots of disappointment.

Probably give it a miss.

It'll be fine - I married my exBF's best friend. It's all fine! All friends, no issues.

Yes, we’re friends now no awkwardness.
I don’t think he was trying to match make though. He met this friend a few weeks ago in the same pub, just wanted me to meet his new mate

just wanted me to meet his new mate

He's like a 5 year old. 🤣

did you get any feeling that the friend like you?

*liked

I don’t know Bloggers I’ve been out of the dating scene for a while!
Had a couple of conversations separate from the X, seemed to have stuff in common. Genuinely don’t know how to tell

just wanted me to meet his new mate

Sorry, that made me laugh. Years ago a friend of mine wanted me to meet a friend of him... god, it was like meeting Jude Law in his role of The Holiday!

I was deeply impressed, just my kind of man... a few months later I realised he was my friend’s long term partner (friend had not told me yet he was gay, I just took the info that he was an old friend too literally 🤦🏻‍♀️)
