A Friend of my Ex Contacted Me and Wants to Meet

[laylab]

As the subject line says, of of the friends of my ex, someone I got along with but do not know well, contacted me last week, out of the blue with an email.

He has asked me to meet him for a coffee next week.

I am wondering why..

This ex I am talking about is the one I wrote about last month, the one I wrote a letter to. But he never responded so I left it. I feel great now, good that I spoke my mind and said what I needed to say.

It is very odd to me that his friend suddenly contacts me. We haven't spoken in many months.

I asked the I ching about it:

What is G's intention in asking me to meet?

Hex 55.1.3.5 leading to 45

and

Is X somehow behind or involved in G asking me to meet?

17.1 leading to 45

I am utterly confused by the lines in 55. The relating hex is the same in both answers and "gathering" is not a surprise.

Any idea?

I'll take a crack at it..

You ask why G is asking to meet.
55.1
He's felt you were his destiny all along.
55.3
But your involvement with your ex prevented you from seeing this.
55.5
Now he sees this meeting as his chance to present his case and find out if perhaps you feel the same way, or at least see if you could..
45.
Think of each other as friends.

As to wondering if your ex has something to do with this mutual friend calling you...

17.1
"The standard is changing..."
Again, in the past this mutual friend regarded you as someone else's partner, Now things have changed and therefore you are no longer off limits.

Therefore (even though I hate yes-or-no questions) receiving 17.1 is an indication your ex is NOT a driving force behind the scenes and this invitation is a motivated by the fellow's own desire to get to know you. Even if romance is not in the cards, he would like to continue the association and have you..
45.
Think of each other as friends.

Now all this sounds pretty benign, but as the image of 45. cautions, "the superior man renews his weapons in order to meet the unforeseen," I would not forget that this fellow and your ex are connected and probably anything you say will eventually find it's way back to him.

Hi Rosada,

I have been offline so I am just now seeing your response. Thank you for taking the time.

The thing is, considering the circumstances, I don't think this friend (named "G") of my ex is interested in me. I hardly know him but I do know for a fact that he is very happily in love with someone..I know the woman, she's wonderful and she and I got along very well.

I didn't put all of the reading up the other day because I was in a hurry but I saved screenshots so that I could remember the rest of the question and answer session.

G is the friend of my Ex, and my Ex is called "H"

The rest of the questions were:

Does H (my ex) have anything to do with G wanting to meet with me?

Answer 16.4 leading to 2
The line:
"Source of enthusiasm. Great possession gained. Do not doubt. Partners are gathered together as hair clasp gathers hair"

Harumph.
Thanks for the update. I hope you'll let us know what actually happens!
