So, I have this friend that I'm interested in and she and I have been having limited conversations do to her ex. She told me once that she would go out with me and then this ex came back in to her life. Hes in jail now due to breaking an ofp order she has on him. I think she is scared of him and is not sure what she wants.

any ideas?

I don't know about you
but these days I leave drama and follow comedy
she is no comedy
Up to you

i will date you

ditto

I'm not worried about the drama. I just hate seeing her continuously being hurt by this retard.

How interested are you in her? Do know that further action can quite possibly come back on you hard, are you willing to go through those hoops for her? If so...jump in and hope you can swim, or at least she will throw you a floaty...if not, walk away and keep it as friends.

Then she laughs...

well,you are in a definite cunundrum,i dont have a clue,sorry

i would never laugh

Dude- get out of there!

She may look to you as someone who can 'save her' from her unhappy/unhealthy relationship and that would concern me - you want to be sure that the feelings she has for you are separate and apart of her situation with him.

IF and when she's able to distance herself from him, I'm thinking she would need some time to properly heal and settle again -- as tempting as it might be to jump right into a relationship with you, those situations rarely work out long term.

You deserve a partner who can give to you as much as you give to them, imo. Doesn't in ANY way mean you can't or shouldn't continue to be a loyal, supportive and caring FRIEND -- just leave the romance stuff out of it for now (if possible).

Just my thoughts - best of luck to you both ... life and love are tough and not for the faint of heart.

I agree with Elaine. Hang back and be a friend, unless you WANT to be the "rebound" guy.

People create their own web & from what you just said you are already entangled in hers....sounds like the poison fangs are already in you & now all that's left is to wrap you up & carry you off to be eaten later....

doesn't that sound nice
