Reader Question:
I ended a serious relationship eight months ago, but I am finally ready to move on. I am interested in someone but he has the same situation as I did with his significant other. His ex-girlfriend messaged me and asked if I like him, so I told her I wasn’t going to try and break the two of them up.
Should I put myself out there to him, or should I give it more time because he’s probably going through some rough stuff like I did?

There are plenty of fish in the sea, and getting involved when there are still loose ends for him is risky for you.
