his friend started following me

move to his mate

'Bro/Girl code is generally just childish tosh when you get down to tbh. The idea that you're never allowed to act on a connection with someone because of what their ex might think is silly. There's nothing wrong with being delicate or taking a friends feelings into account, but it's not any sort of rule.

you're over-thinking things.
People are allowed to appreciate other people's interests / posts on social media.
okay, this guy was a friend of your ex. Doesn't mean he's the same like-for-like replica of the guy.

hi guys, i‘ve been out a few times with a guy and it was extremely intense and didn‘t really end well. we‘ve recently talked about it and even if were both uncertain how the situation is now, we at least could talk about it pecefully. it seems like an end but kind of not. but what happened now was, that a really good friend of him, which i‘ve also known in the past, but didn‘t really have contact with, started following me and liking pictures on instagram. does this mean anything? i thought there was kind of a bro code where certain females are off limits, but maybe it doesn‘t always apply? or am i reading too much into this? thank you in advance for your help.

i think you'd greatly overestimating the importance of social media and he's probably not trying it on with you

i think the question is... GIRL is he cute? if so move to him do what feels right girl

might be the case haha thank you for the help

i think ... that you have to do what you feel is right if that is asking your ex/friend if he is ok with that or texting his friend .
