We got a bit of a situation here..

I normally hate relationship advice threads, but you lot are good at it. So here it is:

In August I met a guy . He is my friends best friend and we had been on holiday with him before, just for a few days. In august at a party, we got off and were like, in love. Just for that night.

In the weeks that followed, I didn't really think about it. Then I started to begin to fancy him again and miss him and want him by my side.

However, he got a girlfriend and nothing came of us because we live like 1.5 hours from each other.

Now he has split up from his girlfriend, I'm being all kind and caring for him, making sure he's ok.

So I figure this is a good time to start to get in there and befriend him really well so that something else can happen.

Do you think this is a good idea? How would you start to go about this situation?

Wait until he's off the rebound, then hint you're after more than friendship.

Just be there for the guy, be friendly and caring to him like you would with any of your friends. If you're good friends with the guy then there's every chance that at some point you might get together. If he's just split up with his gf then you don't wanna rush things... he's prob in a vulnerable emotional state, and it's not really fair to take advantage of that by wanting him to get straight into a relationship with you. I'm not saying you'll do that, just bear it in mind. :smile:

Yeah, sounds like you might have a chance, go for it! Depends what the break-up was like really as to whether he'd want a relationship now, it can work going from one to another in a short space of time though...

I wouldn't go for it yet, he'll still be rebounding and relationships like that rarely work out

Be a mate for him, be there for him and then once he is "over her" make your move :smile:

Good luck xx

Just see how things go. Sooner or later you might want to let him know you like him as more than a friend, but you understand he's still getting over his ex and that there's no pressure at all. My ex boyfriend and I were friends for years, and then we got together 3 weeks after he split up from a long term girlfriend.
