Dating a friends ex allowed? whats your opinion?

[Demigod]

Kay, well a friend of mine started talking about how people should never date their friends ex's ever and how they're off limits (and i actually mentioned this in another thread ^.^ )

So what do you guys think? Do you agree wid her?

[adam_smith]

no if there single and ur single i see no problems just ask ur friend if he is ok with it

[saraharms1]

it depends....

see I dated my best friends ex... but she also had broken up with him. If he had broken up with her it would be a completly different story. They also hadn't been that close. It all just depends on how much emotion was there and who broke up with who.

Also... I told my best friend that if she didn't like it I'd break things off instantly. Make sure that your friend is okay with it because you dont' want to ruin a friendship over some silly boy.

OK, if they're just an aquaintance (sp) then no problem.
If they are a good friend then NO WAY - this ex is out of bounds!

[Sweetest.x.Sin]

I think if she's your really good friend, or he, whoever. If you are really close friends with this person and they dated for a long time and had strong feelings for each other and their wounds are still healing, I don't think it's right because I see it as betraying your friends when you do that.
I think it's wrong. Sorry, but that's just my opinion.

[aussie_babe24]

it depends entirely on the situation.
my best friend was with my ex for 7 months. i probably would have been ok with it cept we had a messy break up, and i couldnt handle seeing them together.
but in any other circumstance i would have been cool with it.
definately situation-dependent.
the saying is "chicks before dicks" (ok.. maybe that's only in australia haha)

I Think It All Deppends On What Kind Of Rlationship You Have With Ur Bud. Think About It This Way Would You Date Your Brothers Girl? I Would Ask If It Os Ok If Ur Not That Close To Them This Is A Tochy Subject.

I dont think it's against the law not to :P but obviously there can be sideaffects i.e falling out with your friend. :D


"chicks before dicks"

Haha well here it's bro's before hoes :P not calling women hoes btw :D

[dontletthisdie]

Theres tons of other people you could date out there. Why would you want someone that is basically "used" (not literally) by your friend. Save yourself from the awkwardness when you three hang out and stuff. Look for some other babes. Haha.

[mandude]

If a person has a problem with someone dating their ex, it's because they are jealous that it didn't work out with them in the first place, and making room for someone's jealousy is just ignorant.

[dontletthisdie]

Well in my argument. It's not jealousy... it's just I wouldnt want someone who my friend basically had his hands all over on.

Call me mean and self centered, but thats how i roll.

Call me mean and self centered, but thats how i roll.Well, that's looking at it from another perspective, but can you honestly give any reason as to why you would mind if one of your friends was dating an ex of yours? Would you care? Why?

[aussie_babe24]

Haha well here it's bro's before hoes :P not calling women hoes btw :D

haha yeh, we've got that one too.. but as im a girl if i said bro's before hoes itd be the wrong way round :P

[Elliott200]

sry to crush ur bubble but its not allowed since it wuld create awkwardness between u and ur friend eventually u wuld drift apart. so u gota choose 1 either ur friend or ur his ex.

[Leon]

Not necessarily.
