"My Ex is Dating My Best Friend and I Want Him Back"

Dear Dr. TRuth,

My ex-boyfriend and I like each other again.

We went out at the beginning of the school year. Then about a month
ago he and my best friend started going out with my consent.

Since my best friend did not want me mad at her she asked my permission.

I was talking to my ex and he told me that he likes me. He even told
me that he liked me when he was going out with my best friend, but
couldn't change his mind like that fast, so he went out with her.

Now, we are still good friends. But I want us to get back together.

What do I do?

Dear Confused

Wait till he breaks up with her and let him handle it.

If he really likes you, why is he still with her?

Are they still going out? If so, why?

I'm not sure about his behavior. Do you really need to go out with
someone if you still like someone else.

I think he is more confused than you are.

hang on until you feel the moment is right and see if you and he can
talk seriously about the situation.

Don't forget, since your best friend was nice enough to ask you if you
minded, you might have to return the favor.

Personally, I hate triangles. This is all too "up close and personal"
for my taste.

Your ex must love the position of having two girls wanting him. He's
the one that needs to make the move.

If he doesn't, well, maybe he's not being as honest as you think he is.

Sincerely,
Dr. TRuth
