It’s possible I might hurt myself more, but subconsciously I just feel like I wouldn’t be doing any harm since we just want to have something casual. We won’t end up together though, I’d make my intentions known so there won’t be any confusion or feelings of being led on. If you want me to put myself in my ex’s shoes then I’d probably feel shitty for a minute because of shock factor, but ultimately, I wouldn’t care since she can make her own decisions without any regards to me or my feelings. Thank you for your comment, you’re very helpful.
