<human>: I dated Natalie about seven years ago as teenagers, I lost contact with her throughout the years. She dated my friend last year, they both lasted eight months per se and it was pretty bad relationship. Natalie would often come to me for comfort and advice. Natalie would show feelings for me and even told me. There were times when she tried to talk to me, flirt and touch me but it felt to awkward. 

I later grew feelings for Natalie and I told my best friend, I only felt it was right. Though I never did anything with Natalie. I was actually a douche-bag to her cause I did not want to express my feelings for her. My friend stopped talking with me for a while because of this. About in August my friend and I got into an argument and stopped all contact with me (very little contact with Natalie).

Last month Natalie and I hung out again together and feelings were expressed (cuddling) and now we talk more often via text. We both are pretty busy, so its not everyday. Plus she lives about 2 hours from me.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: I am crushing on my friends ex (who was also my ex). I think there are signs that she may like me as well. I don't know if I should continue being friends with her or consider dating her.
