Bad idea, man. Bad idea.
The best way to win would be to bring a hotter girl, needle the ex a bit if they are prone to jealously.

that sounds like it would win a whole lot of drama. a better way to win would be spend the whole time in bed with the new girl, far away from the party. or playing video games with your buddy. or walking the dog. pretty much anything over intentionally antagonizing an ex whom you're still attracted to!

although yes it is funny in a "think about it only" sort of way

Um, no.

In fact I have a new prospect that lives a hell of a lot closer.

Her living closer is HUGE. Proximity is almost the most important thing in a relationship.

between your hearty endorsement of the first post to basically say "go if you want to" and the whole "some vestiage of attraction" comment, it really did read like you might have a hidden desire to see her...

but new prospect is aces. take her on a date instead that night. you'll be much happier for it

Yup, not worth the trouble. Not worth the drama.

And the thing that is a little bit of a head-scratcher for me is that even though she says she's totally in love with said boyfriend, there still exists some vestiage of attraction between us. A couple of female acquaintances have mentioned it, and hell, even I've noted it, dumb ignorant male that I am.

Little advice please?
If your heart says to go, why not? If anything, you seeing her with the new bf may help you in the healing process. It may work in reverse.

When you're still hurt because you're attached, you will often times find yourself re-romanticizing all the good times while forgetting the moments which may have signaled this person was not the one. Maybe they were at that time.

Sometimes letting go is facing the truth of a situation, and wanting what's best for the other person. Doing so can actually be freeing. May hurt a little at first, but you'll come to your realization that your biggest fear may not be as bad as it might appear to be.
