text: If you're concerned about that, doesn't sound like things are quite over yet with your best guy friend.  As far as he's concerned.  You can keep things on the downlow, in reality, this new guy just asked you on a date...not like you're headed into another relationship.\n\nOr you can be upfront, but prepared for a little drama (since it sounds like you ended things pretty recently).\n\nIf things are over, things are over, but I do understand that you need to approach things with a little sensitivity.  I'd be upfront (assuming there is closure to the relationship, if not, close it).  If he's still reeling from your break up, you may need to duck out of his life for a little while (sucks, but it may be for the better).
