Here's one to think about...
I am pretty much in love with this girl, for argument's sake, let's call her "Mary." I'm also pretty good friends with this guy, for argument's sake we'll call "Ron."
Mary and Ron dated for about 8 months last year, then Ron stopped having the feelings and they broke up. They tried again this year for about a week and didn't succeed. Then I came in. I'm recently out of a long relationship but quickly got over her, since I knew it had to end far earlier than it actually did. So, Mary is not just a rebound girl. We got very close and hung out a lot, to make a long story short. But, last night, she pretty much told me "I'm falling in love with you...but...Ron contacted me to tell me he's still in love with me and wants another chance."
If he didn't say anything to her the other day things would have worked out with me and her. Also, he doesn't want to get started in something until around May, when he has more time. This means I won't know if they are going to work it out for four months.
What's everyone's opinion on this? Is it right for Mary to give Ron another chance? Or, since she said she's really into me, should it be "my turn"? The way I am seeing it now is that Ron's recent move on Mary was inconsiderate and ill-timed, since he knows what's been going on. But, I don't think he knows how strongly I feel for her.
I'm interested in hearing what everyone has to say.
