Is OK to date a deceased man's best friend?

as long as they are happy it shouldnt matter what other people think.\n\nin fact...it sort of makes sense why they got together so soon. they both lost the same loved one so not only do they understand what the other is going through, but i'm sure they must both have similar qualities as the deceased (ie: instrests, humore, stories etc)\n\nnot to mention that since he was friends with her husband they most likely saw each other a lot. it probably makes her feel like the friend is someone whom her husband would "approve".\n\ntell your friend to remind people of these facts and if they have a problem well then its a good thing they (the accuser) arent going out with her (heehee)  :-)

If it's your best friend, then you owe it to them to do what is right.  An intimate relationship with someone close will change your relationship, maybe for the better, but maybe for the worse.  Are you willing to risk your friendship?

That's kinda hard to answer, I think it would depend on how long you have known that person, what they had done, and how deeply you felt for them. Life is short spend your time wisely

I would say to do what you feel is right! If you feel that you should be at his funeral to show respect and to put closure then by all means be there. Hopefully though this will not happen.

talk to your best friend about whether or not she would be comfortable with you dating either of them! on one hand, she probably still has feelings for her ex, no matter WHAT she says...on the other, she may feel like you are giving her younger brother more attention than her, and that may cause a rift in your relationship...my true advice, date someone that has no ties to your best friend, or you may risk losing her friendship forever. boys will forever come and go, crushes lose their potency...but a true friend is something to be valued more than a boy toy.

Just honestly, maybe even akwardly if you need to be, tell him how much you actually like him. You may feel stupid when you say it, but if he does unfortunately pass away, then at least he knows how you feel, and that he has a real true friend. And I'm sure that he'll love hearing that he's really appreciated and respected. Good luck!

As long as you don't act like an old fuddy duddy and have similar interests, why not.  I've been known to date older men and we got along fine.  As long as both of you know what is expected of each other then it should work out.

no it is not wrong and i think you have answered your own question you already have everything figured out you just need to get past the past and get on with your future remember age is just a state of mind if you have found your soul mate then go for it you should not have any surprises about each others past as you have already been honest with each other keep those lines of communication open and you will have the best relationship of your lives, good luck

what!? the only reason to let your wife date other men ( or women for that matter ) is if you are dying; in which case i hope it is quick & painless and you have lived all your dreams into reality; but dude, really. UNTILL DEATH DO WE PART means after you die. answer: after you die is when to let your wife date.

Your probably looking for someone to tell you its ok. Well I'm not going to lie to you.  Guys have this rule bros before hoes.  Its totally wrong for you to go out with his best friend.  Even worse if you sleep with his best friend he will eventually tell your ex everything you guys do.

sadly if  you have to ask this then i would say no they dont .. when you have a best friend you will know it and dont feel bad because what most people dont realize is that you are very lucky to have ONE best friend in your whole life time... i found my best friend 7 years ago and then 2 yrs ago she died and i am still lost with out her but she taught me so much and from the first time we sat and talked we knew we were best friends by chance sisters in heart.......

depends on how good of a friend this person is to your ex. If they are best friends then that's breaking the unwritten rule and is pretty bad. If they're just casual friends, I don't think it would ruin the friendship.

Yes. It is normal and should be a rule never to date any of your sisters ex boyfriends. For that reason. Once you were ever involved with someone..that should always be yours and sisters should never tress pass onto your territory. Even though you are not involved with him any more..it is your memories not to be shared with a sister in that way. If my sister was to get with any of my ex's..that would be to uncomfortable,with good reason.

I feel bad for you.  I'm so sorry that you have lost someone in your life that sounds like a soul mate.  I hope you will always be friends with this person even if you are not "in love with each other or anything like that."  I would not accept loosing this person in my life if I was you.  Not with computers and pen and paper and phones.  I would talk to my Mom about it and I would contact him and tell him how you feel, that he is important to you and that you would like to remain friends even 3000 miles apart.  Good friends are worth the effort.

I agree, it's wrong. But if this person is really your best friend, then you should talk to them about it. If they have no good excuse, then obviously they aren't a very good friend, now are they?
