My friend (and roommate) broke up with her boyfriend over a year and a half ago. He and I stayed friends, even though it didn't thrill her. Now, after months of flirting and just being friends, he asked me out. I don't know what to do! Hanging out was one thing, but would it be totally and completly wrong to go on a date with him? I don't know if I want him to become a boyfriend, but I would kind of like to see where it goes....What the heck should I do????

If you still live or if you are friends with this girl I would not flaunt the realtionship in front of her I would not hang out with him with her around that way its less awakard and you are showing her some respect but if you 2 hit off well then I say go for it GF and have fun

How serious were they, was the breakup mutual, or at her instigation? Hopefully she wanted out. You're entitled obviously to date whom you like but certainly don't present it to your roommate a fait accompli. Say he's asked you out and you need to know her opinion. After all you live with her and you're not even sure he might be boyfriend material. So don't go behind her back (he's not encouraging you to, is he?), have a conversation, assure her of your regard for her and take it from there

R U living your own life for yourself? Is he living his own life to please himself?

R U living your life to please your father?

R U living your life to please your mother?

R U living your life to please your roomate / friend?.......

If they R done it shouldn't matter! Did he break up with her? Did she break up with him? Did they both agree to break up? Either way if it's over it's over between them Ask her! Ask him!

Please give her / them the respect of being adults and don't go around her back.

If she is your FRIEND she should want you to be happy!!! She might give you some tips!!LOL

Good Luck
