Can You Date Your Neighbors Ex? by DanniBozz(op): 6:53pm On Jul 20, 2019
Please no insult, just matured comments will be appreciated.
I live in a compound that has 6 flats(two storey building) and am in the middle floor. All the other tenants are married with kids except for me and one other guy staying in the top floor who are bachelors. This other bachelor guy had one very good girlfriend that's comes around but he really didn't appreciate her because he is a big time play boy and believe so much in following different girls. Many times we notice he always have issues with his girlfriend and even lays his hand on her but she still kept hanging on hoping he will change but as their relationship kept getting terrible especially one day she came over and met him with another girl, all hell went loose that day and she made up her mind to break up with him.

As the bad guy that he is, he didn't seem to care much and we neighbors normally mind our business and no one ever interfare in their issues right from time. The highest we do is come out to our balconies and observe their arguments outside.

To cut the long story short, I met this girl somewhere recently and because we recognised each other, we greeted well, had a little conversation and we exchanged numbers. I started checking up on her through whatsapp and she also do same. In the process are conversations started getting deeper, and we had a nice friendly outing. Although it has just been on a friendly level so far but it's becoming something else like we practically chat everyday. I could wake up in the morning to see her message or she could wake up to see mine. We chat alot at night before she goes to bed and we are beginning to have feelings for each other.

My problem here is that, though this her ex is not my guy at all, we are just normal neighbors but am really wondering how it will look like to him and other tenets if eventually we start dating.

I am a super bachelor now ready to settle down and she is also a very nice and focused working class girl who really wants to settle down as well and that dude was just taking her for granted.

I really don't know what am about to get myself into so I need some matured advice from people out here.

True I am actually thinking towards that direction if it works out good.

It's not about getting a new house only. It's about getting the house to a very farer distance.

What if you get a new house and you still break up with her? What's the essence? grin

Calm down oga

If eventually you want to date her, then go ahead. You are not coveting someone's wife

And be a man. Invite her ex over for few bottles of Life beer and let him know what's happening...

Don't run brah grin

I am not close to the guy per say so I think sitting him for a drink is like bringing him closer to me and finding out about this might now seem like dating my guys ex. We only greet if we cross paths in the compound and that's it. We both live completely different lifestyles so I won't want to even invite him closer to me.

Then, make him a friend

What if you don't finally settle down with her?

Invite him over and let him know whats happening.

Remember, you are not asking for his permission. You're only letting him know so he doesn't get surprised. I'm 99.99% sure he'll be cool with it grin

Guy just free DT gurl if u like ur life cos DT guy ll nail u. She wants 2 use u 2 hurt the guy dts jst it. I ve had such experience b4 what I did was bleep her outside my house. They ll surely reconcile, but in my case Wen they reconciled I don start the collect offering outside steady. Wen she visits her guy I pretend I dint see her or stay indoors but later I left that town. Thats how u treat guys who don't value their gf.

You have no business trying to make friends with the guy just cos you wantvto date his ex.

If you do that he will later try to kill the relationship by telling everyone who cares to listen that you picked up hi 'vomit' a lady he had thoroughly fuckéd.

My advice would be for you to move to another apartment in another area onbtje condition that you have done an assessment and you're absolutely sure thay this relationship has a very good chance of working out
Re: Can You Date Your Neighbors Ex? by lilmax(m): 8:57am On Jul 21, 2019
the problem here is not you dating her


the problem is, he can knack her in your presence and you cannot do anything about it

use your brain, you're her rebound, she will use you to get back at him so he can come back to her, she's very unstable at the moment and you're her stability till she's back to herself


guys these days can mumu grin

someone is feeling konji and he thinks its love

bros, book a room for a night, knack her well and see your eyes clear cool

I'm saving you from future regrets, because that relationship is going no where
Re: Can You Date Your Neighbors Ex? by BareFacedLies(m): 9:06am On Jul 21, 2019
I would advice that you first fučk her in a neutral place so that you can confirm you actually want her

Dont move, and you obviously dont need to be his friend, I dey mad what business is it with him ? He messed up and you are taking what you feel makes sense, Dog eat Dog world however , the danger is ,if she still has unresolved feelings it's easier for the ex to gain access to her, assuming there is still the enclosed door as they call it. It's the ex that should be thinking of how to manage this awkwardness not you bro. However ensure he has no string hold on her if not, you will be the rebound dude

You told a lie when you wrote you weren't keeping tabs on the relationship of your neighbour. To say that you have admired this damsel from a distance is to simply acknowledge what is obvious. Let it be known to you that you don't know this lady, even though you have succeeded in painting your neighbour in a bad light. The truth is, you had long expected a break up to occur, to give you the opportunity to swoop on the lady.This is further corroborated in the needless attacks you unleashed on the persona of your neighbour to provide you with a shaky and dubious cover of decency and fortitude.

Only a man without shame will date the ex-girlfriend of his neighbour in the same compound. However, it is not illegal, but nonetheless says a lot about the strength of character and your sense of judgement.

Is she the only girl in the world? So you'll go through the stress of moving, paying for another flat with all its attendant costs just for a girl you might soon get tired of? If you do eventually tire of her, what next? Things are not always what they seem when dealing with people from afar.
Let her know you want something with her but she can't come home to avoid people having a wrong impression. Take her to a hotel and have fun, that might just be all you need to reset your brain.
