My ex kind of "came back" in a sense, and I really need help on what to do.
She came back asking for help with something, (sitting in her car in my place of employment, picking some "stuff" up, and she just so happened to see me walking out from work" which Im assuming is her excuse to insert herself back into my life somewhat.

The only thing is, a month after we broke up, she started dating a guy a few weeks later. She also had been making out with some other guy 2 weeks before she started dating the new guy, so it kind of leads me to believe that she's just feeling lonely, and that this new guy is a rebound, but then again I don't really know, because judging by her Facebook she seems into him and they've been dating for a few months now, plus she's the one who broke up with me, and I didn't always do right. :/

Anyway, what do I do about this? She asked for some help with some computer stuff that she doesn't understand, and I told her I would look up the problem and see if I could do something about it. How fast should I act on it? So that I don't seem like Im totally desperate, but I don't seem like I don't care at all either. And I believe she asked me instead of her new boyfriend or somebody else, because it's a problem that she encountered before that I helped her out with, so she trusts me with it. Idk.

If you're wondering why I'm asking, its because Id like to play my cards right in hopes of being close to her again one day, wherever that may lead. I'd eventually like to work things out again.

My policy is never going backwards in life on anything. But again that is just my policy and it doesn't sound like you want to do that.

I would take it very slowly so that you don't make a big emotional investment for nothing. You don't know what her intentions are yet. Until you understand those you run the risk of her hurting you all over again.

She has not come back to you even sort of, she is asking you about something you had prior knowledge of. You can either help her because she asked you to or you can help her in hopes that she will come back to you (which I don't think is the case) but whatever you do, don't play games by not answering right away or trying to string it out. Do it or don't.
I call my ex husband when I have a question about something I know he has knowledge about, he doesn't care and I certainly don't want him back. I just trust his opinion. When we divorced he told me I could contact him about things if I needed to.

Oops! You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Homegirl 50 again.


"And I believe she asked me instead of her new boyfriend or somebody else, because its a problem that she encountered before that I helped her out with, so she trusts me with it."

I believe you've answered your own question.

While she is running around with these 2 guys why would you think she wants to add you to the mix other than lead you on if the other 2 don't work out. And of course that is 2 you know of so far. Like the others said don't read into it.

She is dating other guys so you see her needing a favor as a chance to get back in her good graces. Dude she dumped you and is doing her thing, so why get dumped twice or delude yourself into thinking you will get more from this favor crap.

Boy will you feel used by the one that kicked you to the curb. I don't see a second chance here, even if you feel guilty over whatever you did to get dumped. In any event be straight and apologize and ask her to reconsider. Then it least you get it out the way, and don't make a fool of yourself trying to get in her good graces again.
