Break Up & Divorce

Stuck in no man's land?

In short, a friend introduced me to his colleague last September, she liked me a lot, but at that moment I had just gotten out of a complicated relationship (the girl was gaslighting me, and I blindly trusted her, certainly no hard feelings) and at that moment we the difference of 8 years seemed too big (she was 19 and I was 27, she later told me that she was too), although I certainly wanted to meet her. We only saw each other for a few months until December, and during that time a lot of crap happened, my mom got sick, my pet disappeared, the aforementioned friend broke up with the girl she was close with (although they are still together). Then I realized that at that moment I was not the right person for her. Although I later heard that she said some things about me behind my back, although I am aware that it was reckless, so I distanced myself from her. In February, I went out with friends and she was invited. That night I felt wicked sparks, much stronger than during the time we were seeing each other (perhaps because there were no longer any external factors to disturb the events), luckily or unluckily it depends on who is watching, at one point my girl friend came up to me and said please don't flirt with her, she just got in a relationship. And ok, the rest of the night I was calm, but inside I was wild. I continued with my life and seeing other people, but the same spice was not there. During all that time, the friend who introduced us constantly bombarded me with news about her (didn't want to hear it initially). It turned out that her boyfriend lied to her about his age, that he got a tattoo even though it bothers her, that she is thinking about breaking up, etc. Keep in mind that during this time we kept in touch but nothing special. And the breakup happened, and two days later a picture of the two of them appears on her profile. My question to you is what would you do, her happiness is my first priority, but it would be even greater with me.
