I like my best friend’s ex. She’s said she’s totally cool with it, but another of my friends has done the same and she is majorly upset, although the situation with myself is different. The other friend knew that her boyfriend had dumped her by text and was heartbroken about it, now she is dating him. With myself, they dated 5 years ago and she assured me that it was totally okay. Not only this, another of my friends has now confessed to me too, that she likes him too. He’s outright told me he likes me, but I’m paranoid, and now feel that it would be wrong for things to go any further with the guy. I’m gutted. I know he doesn’t particularly like her, from what I’ve heard, but I’m so paranoid because finally, someone has shown an interest in me and it’s getting ruined. I’m going to end up alone.

You should date that guy i you want to. 5 years is long enough, and your friend is okay with it. Maybe if the guy become your boyfriend your friend will makes some remarks about him, but it will not be so bad. Come on, be happy for you !
Dating a friend’s ex is never a good idea, let alone a best friend’s ex. These kinds of relationships are always prone to comparisons and challenges. It can get awkward and annoying very quickly. Also, unless you’re sure your best friend is fine with it, try and read between the lines and figure out if she’s really fine with it. And how old are you? Judging from your post, you’re in your early 20’s at most. You’re not going to end up alone just because you don’t have a boyfriend right this moment. Why does everyone think that? Jesus.
