ex and casual girl

Bit of a dilemma.

Right, I've been out a couple of times with this girl I know who lives near me, just for drinks and stuff. All pretty casual. I like her, but just as a mate and I didn't realise that til we'd been out a few times. The problem comes in the form of my ex - who I have always liked a lot and still do. We broke up last year cos of needing some more space - the relationship was gettin a bit much for both of us. She's stayd a good mate to me though and we chat quite a bit on the phone and stuff. The last couple of months we've been meeting up a lot more than usual and we kissed last week.

The feelings for my ex have returned and their pretty strong, but I keep getting emails from the other girl asking when we're gonna meet up and stuff and I don't know what to do cos it was never more than a casual thing to me. Should I just tell the casual girl I'm not interested? I don't want to mess things up with my ex.

well there's an old saying they are an ex for a reason, whats the chances you'd get back together and you'd have the same problem, being that you two need space again.

Why not give it a try with this other girl you never know she could be better than your ex.

i'd say move on from your ex, unless you're 100% sure you're gonna get with her again... and dont reject the other girl just yet.... you dont wanna be in a situation where you're left with neither girl...

i dont like that saying

you obviously not have feelings for this new girl but u do for ur ex. u didnt end on bad terms and uvs got a good relationship now. i think u shud try it again cos both ur hearts seem to be there. maybe uve matured and will know how to date each other in a way that accommodates what you both are looking for and need. go for it dear. dont fool with the new girl if u cant see her being ur gf as it will end up messy

Speaking as a doctor, you should cover them in chocolate and make them strip wrestle for the honour of going out with you.

I don't suppose then that you are also familiar with the saying, "Two wrongs don't make a right"?
