Why are you using another site with survey style answers for people to choose? That is not the best way to get advice for each of your questions. You only give us the options that are things YOU have thought of. We might think of something different.

Transboundary-
I think you are a Newbie here and don't understand the "rules" very well.
That said, I think that the situation you describe is a disaster in the making.

Oh! I'm a dolt. You're all interactive and such. How did you do that? Your technical flashiness may influence my views but I'm going to read it now.

=================================

Emotional-Tard??? It's not her; it's you!! You're nothing more than a bit player in her grand play to entice her ex back to her!!
You're a horny dog hoping to get a bite of the bone left behind. You don't see that? What has she given you that would make you believe you're anything more than a ploy in this drama to get her ex back????

Okay, I'm pasting it here for my response:
In need of advice!

Am I Neurotic or Is she an Emotional-Tard?

I appreciate your opinions and comments! I'm looking for brutal honesty here, folks.

Players - Sarah, Dave (the X) and Myself.

Background - Sarah and Dave were together for about 2 years. She ended their relationship in August but still cares for him deeply. She carries guilt for hurting him and he wants nothing more then to get back together with her.

I met Sarah in May on our beach volleyball team. We hit it off we wanted to explore each other romantically. We spent many post-game evenings at the local pub discussing each other and our desire to be together. We're drawn to each other.

Current - Sarah and Dave meet for lunch daily. The frequently spend weekend days and evenings together. Last Saturday they spent all day hiking and and hanging out on a beach (where Sarah went topless - it's legal here).

Last night she called me around 10. Sarah and Dave spent the evening together and, after 6 beer, she was quite drunk.

She insists her intentions are just to maintain a friendship with him, she has no romantic interest in Dave.

She has not told Dave about us dating. I've made it clear that that doesn't sit well considering the time they spend together. She insists she will tell him but wanted to wait for more time to pass.
It sounds to me like Sarah is absolutely basking in the attention she is getting simultaneously from two men. She is not interested in her ex anymore, I don't believe, but she is keeping him on the hook with a really short line since they are meeting daily for lunch. Since she knows her ex is still interested in her romantically, she is actually being kind of cruel.

Why is she spending an entire Saturday with him? She is already spending weekdays and evenings with him?

The only reason I can see for her to not tell him about her current dating situation is because she likes the way things are (being a taker and stringing him along) and she doesn't want that to end. He won't be fawning over her anymore and feeding her ego if he knows she's moved on and is dating someone else.

That would be the real test of them being only friends--if they have broken up and can be supportive of each other pursuing new relationships. They are not friends. He is her doormat.

Why would you be interested in this woman if this is how she treats people--without respect and real care. She says she cares about Dave, but if she did, she wouldn't be sneaking around behind his back (like they are still together)--she would be honest with him.

I think she will eventually let him know that she is dating someone else when she feels she has the next doormat all lined up and ready.
