Being setup by a Ex?

Anonymous
So I dated this girl for a little over two and a half years. After graduating from high school, we ended up going to different colleges and started drifting apart. We've never really had any major arguments, but as we hardly get to see each other anymore and things aren't working out so well, we decided to break up. And a few months after, she found a guy that she really liked and I'm happy for her.

But she knows that I was still hurting a lot inside, and both her and her best friend (who is also a really close friend of mine) decide to try and help me out. They make themselves available to talk to me when ever I needed someone, and one of the pieces of advice I got from them was that the fastest way to get over someone is to fall for someone else.

At the same time, there is this other couple that have also been dating for a pretty long time, but have constant arguments, and neither my ex nor her friend liked how the girl was being treated by the boy. And one of the things my ex did was to tell me to talk to this girl after we broke up.

Now I talk to this girl almost everyday. We've become very close, and although she is still with her boyfriend, she also spends a lot of time talking about various things with me. In the meantime, my ex doesn't talk to me that much anymore. But her best friend IMs me from time to time and asks me how I'm doing, but the conversation always gets dropped awkwardly. (is she wandering about how I'm doing with the other girl? )

Could I be set up by them to get with this other girl? (i have to admit, I really did fall for her and our personalities really do fit together well to the extent that we go out to get ice cream and pick out the exact same flavors)
