It may be better to let them go and move on, find a replacement and
all that.
If they came back you can tell them there's someone else but I
don't know if it will work out. Are they willing to wait?
That way if the current relationship doesn't work out, you have
someone to fall back on.
Also because you have an ex waiting for you, it is proof that you
are a good thing and your current bf better treat you well.
If your current bf backs off, then they didn't care for you anyway,
better to learn now then later.
If current bf works out, you just punished you ex for leaving
you.
You can make them both do silly things to prove they love you more
and deserve you. This way you can amuse yourself.
If your ex got tired of waiting and move on, you avoided breaking
your heart twice.
You get more presents.
Your gossip will be more exciting.
Your friends will be envious and think you are super cool.
This is why some people prefer to have 2 at the same time. As long
as people don't throw acid on your face.
