| I think you should continue to date him - but get to know him. If he had a relationship with this woman then there are deep, strong feelings. Once you've been involved with someone, it can be hard to be just friends because of those feelings. When you have some time alone with him, ask him if he plans to stay friends with her, does she have a boyfriend, how does she feel now that he has a new friend to date. Another thing - how long ago did he break up with her? If your relationship is serious, I would tell him that the ex-girlfriend has to go. They know each other and there is too much opportunity for that. Especially if they keep in touch by phone, e-mail and in-person. He may still have feelings for her. If he is going to make a commitment to you then he has to be willing to let go of his old life. If he refuses then it's time to move on. |
