I love his reply. "We'll see when I get back". Sounds like a Father answering his little Girl about whether he will take her to the Zoo on Saturday.

Oh yes please Daddy, please say yes! Pleaseeeeeeeeee.

Well that is what you get when you relinquish your decision making power to someone else. You completely put the Ball in his Court when you didn't have to. Why relinquish anything if you don't have to? :confused:

didn't relinquish anything, basically said something along the lines of
"Wanted you to hear from me first, not some half baked rumors but i'm going out with <your ex>, hope this won't weird you out too much and screw up our friendship."

Out of interest, who dumped who?

supposidly it was mutual, she doesn't mind seeing him around with his new g/f, although she wasn't too happy when they got together days after the brake (has been over a year now afaik....) and they were going out for 3 years, but i didn't really know her then, and only got to know him properly in the last year or so, all though we've crossed over friendship circles

Hmmm, well you've done the right thing by asking/mentioning it to him but IMO, a year is more than enough for him to get over it.

I know people who've gone out with my ex's, and I have mates who've gone out with other mates' ex's... no sour grapes from me :)

I'd actually be happy if one of my mates went out with my ex, especially if I knew the guy well. I'd be glad she was with a decent guy.
