omg what do i do Options

[Elba]

Okay so my ex and I have been broken up for over a month now, but we still talk and it still feels like we're together.

Now there's this guy in my geology class that I just barely knew existed yesterday after he started emailing me when I mass emailed everyone the notes I had for the class. He found me on myspace and added me and now he's saying we should hang out.

Wtf I am still talking to the ex but my myspace says I am single but I am DEF not ready to mingle and I do not want to stop talking to the ex and I feel like even talking to this guy is like not very nice to the ex and I don't know what to do.

Plus, this guy is white and whities are definitely not my type, but he's attractive. Actually, I don't know if he's attractive, he looks cute?

elba, your ex really seems to have treated you like shit. i mean, i can't say for sure because i don't know all the little details, but he's hurt you a whole lot and you don't deserve to be with someone who'd do that to you.

so what if talking to someone else would get your ex all pissy? it's over - or at least for now, and you guys don't intend on getting back together in the near future... so leave him be. letting him influence you like this is just slowing down the process of getting over him.

(you do want to get over him, right? at least partially?)

if this potential guy is worth the time, you can just explain to him that you're still getting over your ex and would rather not be involved for a while. if he's a decent guy, he'll understand. or at least, he'll understand eventually.
