Girls' BFF

The Girls’ BFF is your BS filter. He’s like a sweet and sour gummy bear. He’ll tell you if “he’s just not that into you” whether you want to hear it or not. But he’ll also give you a hug and tell you that you don’t need that guy anyway.
Chic Geek

The Chic Geek is equally comfortable amongst the hipsters at a Grizzly Bear concert or at home playing Wii Bowling with his friends, or if lucky enough, his girlfriend, on a Saturday night.
Reformed Player

The Reformed Player knows the dark secrets that lurk in the hearts of men, mainly because they’re his secrets too. And he’s willing to reveal all the dirty truths — if it means womankind will forgive him a little for all those times he never called
Wise-Ass

Nobody likes a Wise Ass, right? When the chips are down and you need advice, why bother asking an honest, objective stranger when you’ve got plenty of family and friends to coddle you and tell you exactly what you want to hear?
Mystery Man

No. He's your ex. You don't owe him an explanation. It's none of his business. It doesn't matter if or when or how he finds out about it.

Thanks for the question.

Why would you want to tell him anyway?

One way is to say "hey ex, I'm dating Y, the guy you played soccer with".

If the person you're dating is one of his good/close friends, I think it would be better to tell him out of respect and let him hear it from you. But if the person is some acquaintance that he knows, it's not too important whether you tell him or not yourself.

I'd say if you guys still have some sort of friendship going on just tell him. If you two aren't really keeepiong up with one another these days who cares? Though I could understand wanting to get it out there to avoid an awkward situation should you and your new boyfriend end up meeting with him somewhere.

But really, you don't have to tell him anything, but if you want to just say it. I can't imagine he'd care too much unless he's still hung up on you and has that stalker-ish thing going on.
