Personally I would be wondering what is up, and how she knew so much, unless she is still talking with her ex, or sees the stuff on Facebook. The problem with Facebook is everyone almost can see what someone else posts, so nothing is private there anymore.

I am not sure I'd be comfortable speaking with my boyfriend's ex. Well, I can be friendly, but I don't think I would ever go to the extent if being close to her.

Past is past for me. They are already done with my bf that is why it's called ex. The most important thing is we are more than fine with my bf now and there is no past relationship can ever break that. you have to ignore this type of persons and just be happy that you have your bf with you. she way only be there to annoy you and may not get into anything good.

Hi asliah,
She may still have feelings with her ex which is your boyfriend (correct me if I am wrong.)
I been like this too! When me and my ex broke up and I found out he is already in a relationship, I keep asking her present gf how is he doing and etc. etc!
Everytime I hear answers that he is fine and happy, I feel hurt inside me.. But time help me heal my broken hurt and I learned to let go and be happy!
Maybe she's the same with me or maybe she's not! We don't know!
But I hope she's already over with your bf to avoid some conflicts!

It might be harmless that she added you as a friend, but at the same time there might be reason for you to keep a distance. It seems that you feel this way as well because you are wondering if she still has feelings for your boyfriend. There is no reason you can't be nice to her, I think it's good that you talked to her instead of ignoring her. If you ignored the girl, she could have been offended, so I think you did the right thing by answering and asking her why.
Either she genuinely wants to know about how you two are, or she is being invasive on purpose. Maybe you are helping her by allowing her into your life. At least that way, she wouldn't feel intimidated by you, if he was the one who dumped her.

Maybe she only pretending she didn't know you in person but just a respect and don't want to make the issue more complicated. Or she might be a sportsmanship lady that for her, it only like s sports. Indeed, I made like what she did many times to all my girlfriends and all of them until now they are still my friend.

Well there are instances that this things happen unexpectedly and sometimes we don't know how to deal with it since we don't have any idea why another person is being nice or whatever. If I were in your situation, I would only have two things to do. First, I would at least be nice to her if she is nice to me as well. Secondly, I will not give any attention to her if I feel she is just being nice because she might still be hurting or she is bitter. And if I were you, I would better inform my BF about it and show him that I am not affected in whatever they had with that girl in the past.

Sometimes it is instinct that some women can be curious about the new love interest of an ex. I feel she was slightly trying to find out and or make you aware that your boyfriend is her ex. It does not appear to be sarcastic, or evil in any way. I think she is just a bit curious. I personally would have responded as you because it would make me also feel like okay and you are asking because?, kind of feeling.
It does not seem that it is an issue because she did not question, she was just kind of curiously asking. I would not friend, but being amicable is okay.

i have been in a sort of a similar situation as you do before. mine didn't happen in facebook but the sort of acquaintance started at friendster. i normally would accept invitations coming from people who i do noy personally know if we have mutual friends. i once recieved an invitation frim a girl who happens to be a friend also of 2 of my then boyfriend's(my husband now) siblings. i thought she's a relative so i accepted the invite.
i only learned about her real identity when she answered one survey which i happen to read. the title was entitled five years ago i think. there's an item in the survey which asks who was your bf 5 yrs ago. she answered the question by putting my then boyfriend's name. i actually thought she did this intentionally. i was told by my bf and even his siblings that the girl seemed to be a having a hard time getting over him as she continues to befriend them and go to their house even after they have broken up and even after my then bf got a new gf after her ( which is not me).
basically that is what happened. i never did anything after her post. i did not delete her in my friend's list. she even added me up at favebook. we exchage greetings on our special days and she do get to follow what's the latest buzz with me, my husband and my kids at fb. i'd like to believe she has the best of intentions when she added me up. :)
