I fancy my Ex's best mate

I dated a girl for about a year and through-out most of the relationship I have fancied her best mate without anyone knowing.

My girlfriend and I have recently split-up, the day after we did I told her best mate that I like her and she seemed ok with it.

But here's the twist, she has a boyfriend and the boy and I aren't really mates. I told her to keep it between the two of us. I have rang her up a few times and told her that I really like her and she says that she likes me.

I dont know whether to leave her alone or keep at her. I don't think that she will go out with her current boyfriend for long so maybe I'm in with a chance. What advice can you give me?

Dear Ratboy

From what you've said, she's as much a slimeball as you are, so keep after her.

With a bit of luck, you'll get together and the rest of the world can move on.

If that fails, I've got my fingers crossed that her boyfriend sorts you out.
