What you need to know:

  • Make her see that it isn’t a big deal that you are her friend’s ex.
  • After all, everyone you brush shoulders with on the street is bound to be someone’s ex.
  • What should matter is that the two of you want to be together.

i Brenda,

There is this woman I have been dating for a year and a half. The last time I went to visit, she told me she has a boyfriend. I took that as her way of breaking up with me and moved on.

Two weeks later, I met and liked another woman. We got talking and fell for each other only for my ex to come and claim that this woman is her friend. This new woman has now friend-zoned me because I am an ex of someone she knows. Please tell me what to do. I still love her! Kevo.

 

Sorry for the heartbreak. The great news is that you have every right to date this new woman if you want to. Since your ex-girlfriend was the one that broke off your relationship, she has no business knowing who you are dating.

What you need to do is talk to your new woman. Make her see that it isn’t a big deal that you are her friend’s ex. After all, everyone you brush shoulders with on the street is bound to be someone’s ex. What should matter is that the two of you want to be together.
