This Saturday I'm invited to a gal b-day/house warming party. Starts mid afternoon & later on everyone is heading to one of the local watering holes. We used to work together & we got back in touch after my divorce (hung out once or twice and talk now & then). Never met any of her friends before & I think I am one of the few guys going (outside of her brother). She recently started seeing her ex again after about 2 years (not sure if they are back together or not). He won't be there because he has to work & she said that's a good thing, because she's not allowed to have any guy friends. Kind of feel this puts me in a weird spot. One hand I don't want to cause any trouble & on the other hand I want to meet her single friends. Should I stop by for a little bit, assess the situation, leave & then meet them later at the bar. I kind of have had a thing for her too. Also do I bring a bottle of wine as a housewarming gift? Don't want to come across as one of the gals.Not sure if she is taken or not. It was a possibility that she might be getting back together with her ex, not sure if they are actually back together. I think she was giving me a heads up so that if he happens to show up, I know what's going on.B-Square- Thanks for being a straight shooter.
