I think it's a baaaaad idea to live with your ex, period. It's hard enough being friends after a breakup, let alone "best friends"...what is really needed is time apart, so that you can both get over each other and move on. Exes aren't capable of helping each other through breakups, at least not in a healthy manner. It's especially a terrible idea for you to be living with her while she's seeing other people. That sort of situation will make you so jealous you can't see straight and it won't be good for her either. As hard as it may be, you really should not live together and should probably try to spend a good deal of time away from each other to let things heal. (I speak from experience here...my girlfriend and I tried to be friends after breaking up, but one year after we've realized that that was a mistake and that if we are ever to be anything to each other again we've got to move on, and then see what happens...if we ever become friends again or get back together or whatever it will be based on the present and not the past.)

Just go for it--tell her you're attracted to her, and you'd like to go out sometimes. Have you ever hung out as friends, or have you never even gone out as friends? I'm afraid for you that since this has been going on for so long that even if she is attracted to you she will get tired of waiting for you to do something. So I'd do something now. If you've been hanging out as friends at least you know she likes hanging out with you--that's a start. If you've never hung out as anything it's a little more daunting but if you really like her that much you should go for it, otherwise you'll regret it--ESPECIALLY since that other guy has been hitting on her lately. Good luck!
