Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Erica and it's about dating. Here's her email: Hi Jaime. I have been single for a few years now, and one of my friends at work wanted to set me up on a blind date with a guy she knows from the gym. I agreed, and when I got to the date, I realized the guy she set me up with was my ex boyfriends cousin. I dated my ex for 3 years, so I know the family pretty well. I ended up having a great time on this date, and we want to go out again. The only problem is my ex. I don't know if it's a good idea to date someone from the same family. My mom thinks I should because she hasn't seen me this happy in a while, but my friends think it's weird and it'll cause problems in his family. I have been texting him a lot, and I can see this going somewhere. Is this messy or totally fine? Thanks - Erica I think life is messy. And and it can be hard to. I'm a believer in finding happiness where you can as long as your happiness doesn't hurt yourself or anyone else. At this point, it doesn't sound like Erica dating her ex's cousin is going to cause harm to anyone. Things didn't work out for Erica and her ex...that happens. But maybe they will work out for her and his cousin. I say take it slow and see where it goes. That's my take. What do you think? Let's help Erica out and let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
