<human>: About five months ago, my ex girlfriend of 5 years and I broke up on relatively good terms. I have spent the last few months enjoying single life and have not been looking for a new relationship. However, a few weeks ago, one of my ex girlfriend's friends came home with me and we hooked up. We then hooked up the following weekend. And now this past weekend we basically spent entirely together. 

However, this past Saturday night, my ex found out that we have been seeing each other and all hell has broken loose. My ex's group of friends is very dramatic and they have asked that the whole thing be put to an end.

Last night, my new friend came over to break it off. We had a good conversation and she said that she spoke to my ex and made a promise to her friends to end our little fling, as she does not want to cause a rift in her group of friends. This is understandable, but we proceeded to have sex…twice.

Before she left, I planted the idea that we can keep a casual, quiet thing going, to which she seemed to have responded well. Though she came over with a definite plan, she seemed to have left more confused.

I'm not sure exactly what my question is, but I would love to keep this thing going. We have connected very quickly and it's evident that she feels the same way. I understand the concerns around the whole situation, but as far as I am concerned we are both single consenting adults..

I guess I just need some advice on how to proceed. I am really into this girl.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
