Im a bit stuck, not sure what to do!

Hey im kinda new to all of this, hopefully ill find someone who can answer my problem.

Just recently my mate and his girl have slipt up. They slipt up over 3 weeks ago. He slipt up with her and she may not have been ready the brake up. I have liked this girl for a long time now and wish i had taken more of an interest in her before they went out. This is my fault.

I thought i would leave it for a couple weeks before i started to make a move, becuase she may have bin having trouble with her recent brake-up. I then started to text her a lot, spoke a lot, then we really started to get along well at a football game Started to speak even more, until my mate (the one who she split up with) found out that i had been texting her friendly messages. He didnt want me to text her he begun flaming at her inparticular. He rung me up and told me to lay off, there wasnt a fight. What confuses me is that he has broken up with her, and doesnt want any1 else to touch her.

The problem then starts here, she would not reply to any of my texts or on msn, and ignored me for about a week. I expect that she waited for the tension to blow over. a couple of days ago we have started to speak, but its died down a lot and we are not getting along all that well.

im really upset becuase i can feel a connection but cant quite make it work at the moment. Im afraid that she may be backing off from me becuase of the fight she had with her recent bf, and she does not want to loose him as a friend.

I really need to know what to do next. Should i ask her out anywhere? should i slowley build up on a relationship? Should i speak to her a lot? I would also like to know if my mate still has feelings for her. Im lacking the confidence which is unusual for me 8(. Please i need some advice, thanks. if u managed to read all this u deserve a medal

Well there's that general rule you don't date your friends ex partner. She probably doesn't want any problems with either one of you guys. You were friends before and she probably wants to keep it that way.
