I broke up with my boyfriend about two weeks ago, and I’m happier now, but he took it pretty hard. We still run into each other a lot because of our numerous mutual friends. We figured we could be adults and not make it dramatic or awkward, but life threw a wrench into things. A mutual friend of ours caught wind of the recent change in relationship status, and he’s been blatantly flirting with me. I kinda had a crush on him even before dating the ex, I just didn’t realize he was interested or maybe he wasn’t then, whatever. But now he’s flirting hard and I have a crush on him. But him and the ex are going to be roommates this summer and while I broke up with the first guy, I really don’t like hurting him further and this is pretty much guaranteed to be awkward if I end up with his roommate. But I probably shouldn’t consider his feelings about my future relationships, and new guy is the one who started this flirtationship knowing full well he’d have to live with my ex.
