I am 16 and madly in love with this girl from my school but she is my ex,s best friend and well my ex can get rather jealous. and my school is really small (55 students) so it would be common knowledge in a mater of minuets what do I do, do I tell my ex strait out and see what she dose or do I give up on it all I need some help.

If this girl is your ex's best friend I don't think she would accept a date from you even if she liked you romantically. Girls tend to have a rule that you never date a friends ex-boyfriend. I would let it go and find another lovely girl to turn your attention upon.

I know it stinks but girls would rather stick it out with their best friend who they have an established relationship with then risk their close friendship on a guy that they don't know if it will even last or be anything.

Its none of your exs business whether its her friend or not
