A female United Kingdom age 22-25, anonymous writes:

I have fallen in love with my friend's ex. What should I do?

I have been crushing on him for just over a year now and can't stop thinking about him, they broke up about 2 and a half years ago and she is in a relationship with this new guy who she has been with for almost a year and 8 months. I really like him and I don't know whether I should tell him, I only met him once and that was at a party but that was when she was still dating him, I value our friendship very much and she is one of the kindest people I know even though we aren't very close even though I danced with her for about 7-8 years and only left the dance school end of last year, I don't know what to do, please help me.

aunt honesty agony auntSweetie how could you possibly like a boy you have only met once? Honestly I think you like the idea off him, but you don't really know him. You met him once a long time ago. I think you just need to let this go.

Andie's Thoughts agony auntIt's a bit dodgy to have such an infatuation with a guy you've only met once. You don't really know him and he's your friends ex, so I'd advise moving on.

Also, you're quite young to be dating, yet he was dating your friend 2½ years ago? It wouldn't be a real relationship because they were children, but it would have felt real, which still points to not going for this boy.

Ask your friend, at the very least; there's a reason they broke up. Not only that, but don't tell him you like him before you get to know him. Talk to him and hang out in a group, not alone, to get to know each other in person and see if you still like him. Try to take the rose-tinted glasses off and see that he's a cute stranger, right now, how you barely know.

Aunty Susie agony auntYou could ask your friend what she thinks. Ask for her advise, that will give you an idea about how she would feel about you asking her ex out.
