So recently I've been dating this girl and we aren't official yet, but we've been going out for about 3 weeks now. She's really comfortable around me and she says she likes me, but just a few days ago, her ex went up to her and asked her for another chance. She was with her ex for about 5 years before they broke up and in their relationship, they've been breaking up on and off.

Right now she really likes me but at the same time, she said she still has some feelings for her ex because it's hard to forget and just completely remove him from her life. After all, they have a 5 year history. I told her that a relationship like that would never work and no matter what he says now, it will never be the same. Her ex is saying stuff like "i'm changed, and i'll make you the happiest girl alive....etc" And of course, i really had to sell myself as well and i told her that i'm something new and that i can make her much more happy than her ex ever could.

so right now, here is my dilemma. obviously when i heard this, my heart sank. she really likes me but she's a softy. her ex basically begged her to get back with him and she's torn between me and him. what can i do in this situation right now? i told her that i would give her time and space if she needs it. i told her that i just want her to be happy and whoever she chooses, i'll be a good person about it. is there anything that i can do to make her choose me or should i just let her decide on her own? i really like this girl and havent' felt this way in a long time. i want to make sure i put up a fight and gave it my all, so that if she really did choose her ex, i can say i tried.

i have no idea how long i'll be waiting but she said she's really confused and will need time. she said that she doesn't know what to do and that she really likes me but she still has some feelings for her ex as well. what should i do?
