Q: So I dated a woman this past spring/summer who had just gotten out of a long/serious relationship/engagement. She told me from the outset that she still had some unresolved feelings for the guy, and she and he ultimately got back together. The boyfriend works with a friend of mine, and I hear enough from my friend to think that things won't last much longer between them this second time. I've dated a bit since she dumped me, but I'm not dating anyone right now and would like to try again with her if/when I get a chance. Until things change with her and the boyfriend, should I a) have absolutely no contact with her whatsoever, b) call/email her every couple weeks, just to let her know that I'm still alive and haven't forgotten her, or c) something else? I've been doing b), if that matters.

A: If it’s meant to be, you could do a, b, or c and it’ll be. If it’s not meant to be, you could do a, b, or c and it won’t be. Having said that, if you don’t believe in all that bs, I like b. Just keep doing what you’re doing to keep contact and be there when the guy leaves. Keep in mind though, she’ll be vulnerable at that point and when /if she comes running into your arms, she may still be thinking of the ex. Just keep that in mind.
