Is it okay for a good friend(like a brother) to date an ex of yours?BTW,  I don't think it is..?

I would say out of respect for you, No.  Why would they want to date someone who you where close with and put you into that situation.  Its not selfish for you to think this.  my advice is to be honest.  You can't stop the relationship but you can be straight with them about this.

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 would hope that your best friend would have enough respect for you to not date any of your ex-girlfriends.  Women come and go (same as men), but 'real" friends don't.  But, yeah, I would be a little upset.

I never got that whole if I date him no one can. if you guys are over, and you agreed to see other people then get over it, your not a very good friend if you wont let her have a chance at happiness. I don't see anything wrong with it if she was a good friend, but if she just stared at you and asked you why you were mad, that obviously tells you she's kind of a jerk, she obviously doesn't care about you or your feelings, considering you just told her you were still in love with him, if I started dating my friends ex I would have at least shown that I was sorry for causing any pain, but some thins cant be helped, such as holding back feeling for a guy, dang,...  then I'm sorry but if I were you I would have brought her down. keep in mind though that if you guys are supposed to be together you will and if he wanted to see other people then maybe you deserve better, unless it was your Idea in with case, WHAT ARE YOU BITCHING ABOUT. its not fun but remind yourself of 2 things first of all that she deserves the chance at him, and second of all that you may still have a chance of getting back together with him. I got back together with mine.  Good Enough?

well it really depends, if you and that brother just happened to be close i will wait a while and then make my move. if your the type of person who knows how to carry theirselves right then don't make you move on the brother or anyone who is close to your ex. if you want to go immediatlly to the brother then it just makes you look bad.

Most people I've spoken to believe that dating a friend's ex is off limits. Others feel that it is acceptable, as long as you clear it with your friend before anything happens. Even so, it is almost always a problematic situation. If you are really interested, you should certainly feel free to discuss it with your friend. and thats wat ur friend didn't do,she shud have discussed it with u.but anways,u need not worry coz she will b regretting what she did soon.........

No, there are rules to dating your best friends ex you know. That would just be wrong.

Well, depending on whether you're still friends with your ex-bf. If he's someone you wouldn't like to hurt, I wouldn't touch his friend quite yet ^_-

Sure, why not...I'm mad at my ex, but he thought I liked a friend of mine(and thought I was cheating with the guy) when he was cheating on me!  Long story, but just use your intuition on this one.

Well, if your ex cheated on you, then it shouldn't matter who you date. Even if it is his friend. Hard part about that, is you won't be able to hang out with him when he makes plans with your ex. So there will be a bit of drama more so between the guys, but I also think it's silly to keep things locked up. I hate hiding things, so I would tell the new guy that he should speak up. I dunno, it always sucks being in those kinds of situations. Good luck, I hope everything works out for you.

Be very careful what you do!  I liked two brothers a while ago, and when they found out that I was interested in both of them, they both dropped me because they were offended!  A very sad loss, because they were both amazing guys.  I should've chosen the one that I had deeper feelings for (we had spent more time together, and had more chemistry).

Ask your friend if she would mind if you dated him.  If she says it's okay with her, then you're in the clear.\n\nI had the same thing happen when I was in high school.  My best friend liked a boy.  Then I went away for the summer.  When I came back, she didn't like him, but I did.  She was TOTALLY cool with me dating him.  \n\nIf she didn't want me to date him, I wouldn't have.  She is more important to me than any guy could be.\n\nThat was so long ago!  That boy and I dated for a long time, but eventually broke up.  She and I are still best friends and we're now 30!!!

it is hard to say exactly how the brother feels about you, but it sounds as though he likes you a little, but mostly just trying to be nice to you & hook you up with his brother. Would i be wrong in assuming that you have an attraction to the brother, & you want him to like you? I think that if that is the case, then it would be wrong. Even if you & his brother broke up it would still be wrong. It would cause too many problems in the family, so if that is the case, drop the crush on the brother, & stick with the boyfriend, Or leave them both alone.

yes it is but only if you or that person can have a friendship based purely on a platonic level. In other words you both have to either be over your romantic feelings for each other or you both have to be able to deal with them without them ever getting in the way of your friendship. Truthfully though some people cannot be just friends after the fact because they are all or nothing people...all the way together or not...there is no middle ground with people like this...and if you r your ex is like this friendship will never work because things like jealousy will interfere.

Absolutely not, If she is a good friend don't even consider dating her X. He is an X for a reason. \nIf you want to loose her friendship go right head?

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.
