I have an Ex from a few years ago who asked me to go skiing with her in a couple months. I have no interest in dating her and she is with someone else. We are still casual friends, so we hang out once in a while. I said I would go skiing with her a week ago and we will have to stay the night because it is a few hours away.

I met someone new and will be dating her. I'm seeing us date for a while at least and not just a couple times, given how much we have talked and that we both seem very interested.

So is the ski trip going to be really offensive to the new girl? I won't go if it will cause problems, but in no way do I want anything other than friendship from my Ex.

I'm gonna go out on a limb, here, and say "probably".

If I were the new person, that'd be the end of seeing you for me.

Yeah, it more than likely would be. But it also might not. If it were me, I'd just go. I've blown off plans with old friends, ex GFs or otherwise, to please my new GF only to have that new relationship not work out anyways. A handful of times was enough and if the new lady is that insecure, then I wouldn't want to be with any more than she would want me to go.

You need to bring this up with her ASAP. She might be cool with it. She might not be. But, it also might be worse if she found out in the future that at one point in time you were considering it and didn't inform her.

I just "love" this stupid word thrown around all the time! No supposedly single person seeing a new love interest has any business going on trips with old lovers. I'm sure they'd sleep in different rooms and high-five each other, too! Gimme a break!

Even if they really didn't, the new girl would be thinking they did.

OP, bad idea IMO. She's just a casual friend you hang out with once in a while versus someone you think could be much more.

I don't care what they do or don't do. Nobody's that hard-up for company for a weekend trip to invite an ex-lover to go with her/him if they don't have ulterior motives.

LOL right on sierra! Ex means NO LONGER! Which means it's over which means you do nothing with eachother. If i were your GF and you even asked me if I would mind you would have another immediate ex.

The Ex is actually married. She lives 1,000s of miles away and husband isn't going to visit with her (to see her parents in the area). A couple she is friends with wants to ski and she probably doesn't want to be a third wheel. It would be totally fine if I wasn't dating anyone. But I can see how new girl would feel bad at the least.

Well, I guess you're also an "insecure" guy!
