"Last night, while I was out at a work event, I ran into a friend of mine who knows Mr. Smooth (the guy who has a habit of feeding me great lines and then going MIA). Somehow, it came up that Mr. Smooth is friends with someone I casually dated in the past (the key word being &amp;quot;casually&amp;quot;). And it also came up that Mr. Smooth is aware of that fact, and maybe, just maybe, that&amp;#x27;s why he hasn&amp;#x27;t pursued me all that aggressively. Although I knew they could potentially know each other since both work in the entertainment industry , I had no clue that they were boys--as in, they come over to each other&amp;#x27;s house to watch basketball. The thing is, I really like Mr. Smooth and I think there is potential for something special. But I also see how it could be weird for him, even if it was never serious between me and his boy. Either way, now I have no choice but to address it the next time I see Mr. Smooth. I&amp;#x27;m a very upfront kind of person, and I would rather get that conversation out of the way asap. My gut tells me it could all work out fine because both guys are essentially good, mature people. But you just never know. It would all be so much easier if I didn&amp;#x27;t like Mr. Smooth as much as I do. Would you date a friend of someone you used to be involved with?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
