The one who’s friends with her ex or exits dating this type of girl is like dating a time bomb.
You see most of the time girls who still keep in touch with their exes, still have some feelings for them, especially if the breakup is recent.
This means when you have one big argument with her or you make her mad or something, she’ll be just one text away from a guy who she liked and liked her. And she used to date a guy with who she had sex and has shared really good memories with.
And she gets a bit too emotional and acts on her impulse. We’ll probably end up cheating on you with him or simply dumping and go back to him.
It’s a possibility. So in plain English, if she’s still really close with her ex, she’s a risk that you may not want to take in case you really want to date this girl.
And then you should be upfront with her and ask her to explain the nature of her relationship with this guy.
There are certain cases where Xs can totally remain friends with no chance of getting back together. But those are few and far between. So ask for clarity and transparency and then decide how you would like to proceed.
Just like there are red flags in women, all men must avoid.
