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?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
girl that's still friends with her ex worth my time?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
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
