Girl...If you and your best friend are like "paper and glue" close, I think you should think it over. Think "Would she/he do that to me?" Make sure you know whats good for you. A Girlfriend/Boyfriend come and go, best friends are for LIFE! (If you have the right one)

No, my best friend is, just that, my best friend.  Her EX is, not fair game.\n\nI played this game before, lost out on both counts.  the ex, only wanted to get back at her, she wanted me to "date" him and see if he wanted her back..\nend of story, everyone hated me, for playing thier game!\n\nNO

how long have you been friends??? frankly, it really should be okay because you've moved on, right? unless, your friend is your bestfriend and she knows how you still feel about him, then maybe that's another question...so, maybe you need to ask your friend what is going on...you know, talk to her or something...but if she's not that close, leave it! like i said, you've moved on right? go find someone else better...someone who deserves you... ^_^

OK, let me get this straight...he went was your boyfriend and then went out with your friend too? Oh! Honey, you need to let go- he is just playing you. i mean- you just don't go out with your x's friends, that's dirty. Besides, you need to be thinking if she is even truly your friend. After all, she did go out with your x and you still love him. Just move on- you can do so much better!!!

wow girl you have some problems.. those guys are going out with your friends, if you do make your move on them you'll prove to them exactly how loyal you are. and you just can't do that shyt to a friend, if you really do think of them as your friends. \n\nand if they ever do break up you should talk to your friend first before making your move on her ex. \n\nit's just a unwritten rule that you don't go out with your friends' boyfriends/exes. unless you really do want the drama.

Not good business to date your friends exs.  Tell him you feel like he has cross the line of your friendship, because he use to date your best friend.

The way I see it, your best friend is the only one that is going to get really hurt.  Because your sister's ex is just talking to her to get your sister mad.  Your sister already made a decision and he is using your friend to make his.  Tell her to chill for a bit and see how things develop, just in case his "confused" like all men claim they are when they don't want to admit they f*cked up.  Good luck to all

Why not? hes your best friend. My best friend and me are closer than her boyfriend.  Its best if i know other issues involved but for the question alone, i dont sense any reason why not go out.

people can love their friends too!\n\ni think the timing is just not right, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love you- just that it isn't the right time for you two to be together..\n\nand dating her best friend's ex without her sincere approval is against the girl code, so more than likely she's waiting on that.. maybe her friend (your ex) isn't over it yet so she's still sensitive...\nwhen her friend has moved on completely, she'll bring the subject up to her and see what's what - if you two are still into each other that is...\nbe patient!

Well, I hope you're not friends with your best friend anymore because that's not what I call a true friend. She told you she would never go out with your ex because she loved you like a sister, but that's not the case. You should have never dated your ex-boyfriend's best friend either. If you like other guys such as your ex's best friend than you're not in love. You may really like your ex, but there are other guys out there. Your ex is not worth it. Not only is your friend doing you wrong he is to by being with her.

There's no hard-and-fast rule.  The consensus seems to be that it's not a good idea because of the harm it may cause your ex and the awkwardness it may create in the new relationship.  However, if your ex is out of the picture, and it's unlikely you'll see him again, and his status as your ex doesn't pollute the current relationship, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't explore it.  If it's inevitable that he'll find out, and you've been with him for a long time, you should wait a while before pursuing his friend, and you also should consider letting him know your intentions.

Going after a guy that your friend has dated is always tough. It depends on how their relationship ended and whether your feelings for him are strong. I am currently very interested in my ex-best friend's ex-boyfriend. WE stoped being friends when she found out that I liked him. But I couldn't help how I felt, he's different than any other guy. If you feel like he's special and you could be avoiding something that could be really great for both of you, don't. Go for it, if your friend really cares about you she'll want you to be happy. Best of Luck!

I'm in an identical situation only i am a guy. And the guys in your story are girls in mine. I'm not gay. Just wait it out and eventually they will break up. However you need to know what your best friend would do if you were to go out with her ex. If she was really your best friend, she would understand and she would let you go out with him-but come on thats never gonna happen. You need to find out who you like more, this guy, or your friend. It sound to me that he sorta like you, and if your friend knows he flirts with you, and shes not jealous shes\n- in it because the guy is popular\n- is a whore that just wants to sleep with her boyfriend until she is bored\n- is trying to tell herself shes being uptight\nYou need to know if he likes you before you do anything about your friend. Ask one of his friends or a brother or sister of his. It will be hard, but if you loose a friend, how good of a friend is she?\nP.S. Do not go out with this guy directly when he breaks up with your friend. She wont like that, and he wont think your much of a friend. Wait at least two weeks, by then your friend should be interested in some other guy.

Rule Number 1 of friendship is that you NEVER date an ex of theirs--especially if it's your best friend.  That's almost like incest or something.  Even if you asked her and she agreed with it; somewhere within herself it would hurt her tremendously.  She just wouldn't want you to know that.\n\nRule Number 2 is that you learned a lot about the guy by the way he treated your best friend.  If he was a jerk to her, he'll repeat actions with you.  I personally think he just wants to ruin your friendship and make your best friend suffer by watching the two of you together.\n\nJust don't do it.  There are TOO MANY people out there to narrow things down to a best friend's jerk of an exboyfriend.  That's immediately set up for failure in two aspects.

You shouldn't be considering dating your friend's ex. Your asking for drama in a bad way.
