Should I or shouldn't I?

Hi, I'm posting for some advice about girls.
I'll lay out a little background on this situation.
I've known her for about 3 years, and about 3 months after I met her I was going to ask her out, but I found out... Someone beat me to the punch... They dated for a while, got engaged, and about 4 months ago he broke up with her. She's moving out of town in the next month or so and I'm trying to figure out what to do, should I try to start up a relationship? I don't know what to say, or do or what, and I really like her. Any advice would help a lot, thanks.

I don't know if it's wise to attempt to start a serious relationship with her since you did say that she has recently broke off an engagement. That's somethin' serious, man and may take some time for her to get over. I guess the best thing to do is to tell her how you feel BUT also tell her that you understand that she may still be hurt from her recent break up and you want to be there for her in any capacity. I'm not sure how you would get around the her moving away thing but if its meant to be, it'll happen. Just don't let it cause you to rush into anything because 1. Nothing works out as good as it possibly can when its rushed and 2. The problem in this cancelled engagement may have been that her and this other guy rushed things and she may turn you down based upon that past mistake.

That's a tough call. I think you could be her friend and maybe make some plans with her before she moves. If she's receptive then watch for red flags that she's not over the other guy. I met my boyfriend about a month after he broke up with his ex of 3 years and we've been together for almost a year...so don't go by strict guidelines on time. My boyfriend had been over the relationship her was in for about a year before they ended it, so he was ready to move on. But, like I said, just gage her response and do what you think feels right. I could just see you not doing anything and then kicking yourself later, you know?

Take a chance but still respect the situation she's in and the possibility that she might not be ready for anything with anyone, not just you. Good luck!

Try to pick the friendship back up, but if she was serious about the engagement, you Don't want to be the rebound guy.

Make an effort to see her and hang out.

If you're good enough friends, I think you'll know when she's moved on and ready for a new relationship.
