The One that got away!

"Fu#$ the other girl, She left me to go get married!" I went in for the kill! Now, I've noticed in Colombia. If you're a great guy and your girl has bragged about you to friends and family, those girls will wait. (like vultures on a limb, waiting for that relationship to die...not all...but many) I don't think this chica is like that, but the opportunity presented itself. I've seen it too many times. They look at it as.....oh, she didn't want this great man....so I'll take him. I moved in to kiss her, without hesitation she allowed. After the kiss, she said Sue is my best friend. I told her Sue found happiness, you have the right to do so as well. She kissed me. Now, my question to the Members of the Board. Do not I have the right to pursue happiness by any means, avenues or venues I see fit? I'd like to think so.

I would say you definitely do have that right. It can depend on the situation and how you feel about dating an ex's best friend. I do mean how YOU feel about it and not what is perceived as being acceptable.
When something similar happened to me (here)the best friend was in my face within 2 days and I declined because I wanted to forget my ex and her friends. That is what I meant by depending on the situation.

Wingman, It is very simple. If you want this woman, go for it. If you don't, just pass. Guys that have successful marriages married a woman they WANTED Not a woman that was "available" or what they "needed."

IF your advice was ‘right’ for her girlfriend, I should think it would be ‘right’ for you also!

great Post WM !! You do have quite a knack for writing.

There's a saying, or maybe the lyrics of a song, that says something about "if the Love is true is will always return" . Don't be too surpised
if one day she is knocking on your door again. The question is will you be
available to answer.

How could she just move to BOG if she has 3 businesses going in BAQ??

I guess you asking, if the best friend is fair game?

Yes, in fact, it is not really that uncommon romance situation,

Charlie,
Yeah, It's odd for a person to up and leave their businesses. She said her mom taken care of her assets. You know, Sue made the right choice. I was just getting into the
whole marriage mind-set. She would have probably ended up on the curb like the others. With that said, she made a wise choice. I have a lot of respect for Sue, but I've only known her for a total of 3 months. Roughly a month and a half of dating. I've learned to know these women. In my opinion, Sue was desparate! Her friend is approaching the situation with caution/slowly. This is more my speed. I'm at the point where I'm looking for a mate and not just a lay.

Well said...WM....WELL said....

Keep in mind, without a lay it ain't a mate.
