Ask her out, what the hell. It will give you a chance to see what she is like and if there is any interest there. It will also probably give you some insight as to her level of interest in her ex, primarily based upon she acts with you. Just don't go into it with any expectations (good or bad) that way you don't "get burned".
And if things don't work out, the world is full of other women. I have always "grabbed the bull by the horns" when it came to trying to figure women out. I'd be completely forthright with them when it came to asking them out, and there were always times where there was an ex in the picture. Personal example, when I met my wife (we'll be married for three years next month), she and her roommate were dating two guys who practically lived in their apartment with them. I met her through work and began to understand that things were less than stellar between her and her boyfriend. On a whim I asked her out one Friday after work and we ended up playing pool and grabbing a pizza at a local bar. We ended up sitting in a park until about two in the morning just talking. The next day (we were working weekends at that point) we grabbed dinner together and parted ways. I saw her Monday morning and she informed me that she had officially broken it off with her boyfriend and he had moved out on Sunday. I didn't waste anytime after that. I've been with her ever since.
Point of the story, I could have sat back and had others dictate events and how they played out. But if I had done that, I may never have ended up with my best friend.
Oh, and by the way Dale Kemp, sound advice to my question. I owe you one.
