So my ex and I recently broke up and we were pretty close, but I'm completely over him and he has a girlfriend now anyway, even though he continually tries to text or talk to me. Well I didn't mean to, but I really like his friend. It's not his best friend, just one of his friends. We don't know each other very well but he is very nice and I would really like to start getting things moving. What should I do?

Well first off, don't be shy or don't even think you are making a mistake. It's totally normal that you find someone attractive even though you may think it is a bad idea to start something with you ex's friend.
If you're shy and don't know him much yet, try texting him, chatting over facebook. I assume that you met him and that you share some moment together mayber. So just write him, ask him anything from that day, just try to start a conversation. Find something you have in common this way.
And then when you know something about him and found something you have in common, try to ask him out if he won't (most guys are shy too and are waiting for girls to make the first move). It should be easier to communicate with him in person now that you know a little more about him. A first day out with him may be a little weird but it will get better.
Also if he will ask or somehow you get to the question of what happened between you and your ex, try to explain calmly what happened and why you two aren't together anymore. Also try not to say only good things about your ex, men like seeing an opportunity to be a better boyfriend then any of your past boyfriends.
Hope this helps :)
