Hey fellas, in a situation and not sure how to handle it. Had someone I've known and been friends with for years who is married tell me she has always had a crush on me and wants to spend time with me. I'll give the situation and back story
We met around 6 yrs ago, we both own business's in the same industry and would run into each other at events. She is very hot/feminine and always done up from head to toe. Found out she was engaged pretty early so nothing ever happened and we actually formed a good working relationship and became friends. We were able to refer each other a lot of business and even partnered on a side business. It was just a solid relationship and she would hook me up with her friends, even dated her sister for a few months years back. Both looked out for each other. Met her husband several times and he seemed like a cool guy, always chatted it up. Neither of us did anything that wasn't platonic. She ended up buying me out around a year ago, ended well, and I hadn't spoken to her for around 9 months.
I had to call her earlier this week for something work related and caught up, nothing unusual. So afterwards she texts me more and asks if I'm dating anyone. I joke around with her and tell her she knows how I am, lifelong bachelor etc She then tells me she used to have a crush on me and says she still does. I was little taken back honestly, I had no idea. She asked me to meet her for lunch and I did. There she tells me she is unhappy in her marriage, she caught him cheating on her when she was 7 months pregnant(they have a 1yr old) and that she liked me and always had. She asked me if we could spend time together.
Being completely honest, I would absolutely date this girl. Super hot, stays in shape, get along really well, she has built a really impressive business and makes big time money. Share similar views on the world, business, life etc. Not many girls like this in the city I live. I usually don't date moms but for her I probably would, I know her really well. Not proud of it but we went back to my place after and made out. I've dated a lot and typically don't get carried away but it was a pretty intense connection. Feels like things would escalate quickly since how well we already know each other. I would date this girl and see how it played out if she was single. I would rather not be a scumbag and break up a family and be sneaking around. Not really sure what to do from here, any advice would be appreciated.
I like her so I know that could cloud my judgement right now. I currently have two other plates to temper any oneitis. I have been red pill for a long time and dated a lot so I see the red flags with monkey branching(she would do it to me) and being a mom. Most attractive women branch swing though, to me it just kind if it what it is. I do see potential character issues though.
