would it be worth my time going after a girl who's still "best friends" with their ex? she says they only dated 2 months and brokeup because theyre better off as friends, but i don't know. sounds fishy to me. maybe i'm reading too much into it?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
girl that's still friends with her ex worth my time?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Let's work with what you know. They broke up to be "best girlfriends", so this guy is obviously a huge AFC. However, AFCs have the annoying habit of never giving up (this is a prime virtue everywhere else except concerning individual women) and in all likelihood he would try to throw a wrench in it, cause "If I can't have her, no one can!"
Meanwhile, time marches on...
I'd go for it, but don't be surprised if her phone is blowing up constantly when you're with her, and you almost end up in some triangular deal.

Well,she's gotten what SHE wants out of him,but he's still hoping. I don't think dating her would be a problem-keeping her away from him? maybe an issue.I'd just have a hot FEMALE friend you can hang with when she's with him. See if she gets nervous about that.
HOPEFULLY, the girl will would slowly veer away from him, if you two started consistantly dating. If not, and it bothered you, you would wait until she was REALLY into you, and cordially tell her you cant be with someone whos best friends with their ex, because it makes you uncomfortable, and be prepared to walk away. Then, either she'll comply, or you'll just be 'friends' with her also.
Also, find out if she's had any other relationships while being friends with this guy. See if she brings up something like; "He couldnt accept that we were still friends, and he got jealous, and it caused a lot of problems so we didnt work out because of it." If so, you know it'll probably cause problems with you too, if you're uncomfortable with that.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
i decided not to pursue her afterall. i figured theres gotta be a girl out there who isnt best friends with her ex. getting along with your ex is one thing but having them as a best friends? yeah, think i'll pass.lol

Dude, you're real problem was being jealous in the first place. Her being friends with her ex would have only been a problem if you showed her you were jealous..at all. I mean, any girl you find is going to be friends with an ex, or someone they've hooked up with before.
Never show jealousy, because that's a sign of insecurity and weakness. If she brings up another guy, [it's whatever]. You're not interested in hearing about it. Never show any girl one ounce of jealousy, because then you're basically telling her that HE is better than YOU and you're worried SHE will realize that and leave you.
You are the prize remember? Or do we need to re-read the DJ Bible...

it had nothing to do with me being jealous. it had to do with me seeing that it wasn't worth my time of pursuing her based on the information she told me. she volunteered it, i didn't ask for it. all i said was "you're still friends with your ex?" and that's when she went into that whole thing. in my mind i was thinking "yeah this is more trouble then it's worth". i know TONS of girls who AREN'T friends with their ex's. hell, ask most of my ex g/f's, we aren't friends and don't hangout. i'm not one to live in the past. if she wants to be alone and have her little friend that's fine, i'm just not getting caught up in some weird triangle with some past boyfriend who can't let go.

a gf's ex = trouble, irritation, annoyance, even pain
a girl who likes having her ex's around = BAD BAD BAD
