Ok, so I had been dating this woman for the past 7-8 months. She's a really great person, but you know, sometimes people just weren't meant to be. We have no hard feelings towards each other or anything like that. I mean we're still friends, have lunch and go out on a date once in a while. We just weren't meant to be a lifelong couple.
So, we're out at the local club to see a band this last Friday, and during the course of our conversation, she tells me, "...you know, I've never tried my hand at this match making stuff before, but I was talking with xxxx the other night, and we think you and xxxx should get together."
"The guy she was dating dumped her so she's single now. I'm pretty sure he bailed because she's really up front about wanting to have kids, starting a family and all that. I mean, that's what you're after too isn't it?" Holy shi* man! She totally caught me off guard. I told her I was flattered, but wasn't sure. I mean, she's kinda been "on a roll." Going through a few guys here lately. Do I want to be just another mark on the belt, or do I take a chance and see what happens?
Now, since all these woman know each other through adventure racing, I've actually meet this girl and find her quite attractive. Of course at the time, you have to respect the one you're with so I haven't had a lot of interaction beyond the courtious small talk. So needless to say, I asked my ex "Wouldn't it be awkward for you?" She says no and that she thinks everyone should have an opportunity for happiness.
Sorry, in all my years dating and through all the relationships I've had, not once, EVER have I had this happen. Is my ex really just trying to be a "good samaritan"? Is she just trying to put that something extra between us to really solidify the fact that we are over? Or could she just be trying to screw me?
What would you do? Oh yeah, and girls, have you ever done this for one of your ex's?
