NP. It doesn't matter that it was after. I assume the BF of the first pp you quoted probably told her he had no attraction to the friend and he would never be interested in a girl like that, yada yada yada.[/quote]

No idea, probably.  But honestly: even if he is attracted to her, what does it matter if he's not pursuing a relationship with her.  My SIL and BIL were "just friends" in college - they both were with other people who turned out to be less than wonderful (SIL's BF cheated, BIL's GF dumped him) and these two friends subsequently got together.  It's Post-Hoc.

[quote=Anonymous]My ex-BF had one of those friends. He assured me they were just friends and she wasn't his type. They were in grad school together (we were long distance at this point) and they would study together a lot. We broke up eventually. They are now married. [/quote]

That does suck, but it's not exactly the same situation - you were in an LDR and he was spending a lot of up close and personal contact time.  Plus, again, you say you broke up first?  Did you break up over her?  Or did he say there was nothing and then dump you when he was ready to switch?  I'm not making light of your situation, and I do question both men and women who have close opposite sex friends, particularly if they don't have close same sex friends - I don't really think men and women can be "just friends" if there is any possibility of romantic potential.
