it's never ok to date your best friends ex..........
if they were my best friend,i would have more respect than that for him .......
even if they say it's ok....... it's never really ok.........its always good for hard feelings to date your best friends ex........how awkward.........it's way to much baggage all the way around....theres to many fish in the sea for that.....IMHO....... ................

i gotta vote that it is not ok, it is a bad idea, a mistake, plain ignorant, etc

of course it is not impossible, but you are asking for a lot of extra difficulty,

I'm not sure its neccesarily wrong, but... timing is everything.
Would I date a best-friends ex, right after they broke up, or in the near term, no.
But, I suppose if a couple years had gone by, and he was in another relationship, and her and I hit it off... I wouldn't be averse to asking him about his feelings on it. If he had serioius issues with it, it certainly would make me think about it, because I value my friendships. But I wouldn't neccesarily say 100% no f'ing way right off the bat, just because she's a friends ex.

If a friend and this guy had feelings for each other, kids together, etc... NO.

If they just went on a couple dates and no feelings developed.... possibly. But only after getting the OK from the friend. Exceptions are if they were together before you became friends and you had NO EARTHLY idea that they dated... fair game.

Under no circumstances is this okay... If your friends do this to you, they were never your friends anyways. Go out and find your own man! don't reuse your best friends!!! SICK!

This is actually happening to a friend of mine right now. Needless to say he is absolutely crushed by all this. He was in the guy's wedding party when he got married, helped him out when the marriage fell apart a year later and was a very good friend to the guy. What kind of a jerk asks all that of a friend and then goes and gets with the guy's ex-gf less than a month after they break up after dating for over a year? To me it's all about respect or a lack thereof. If a friend really was into an ex of mine and was upfront about it and asked if I would be cool with it I guess I wouldn't have a problem with it - especially if they were both great people and had a chance to make each other happy. Sneaking around behind a friend's back and dating their ex is BS though.

NOPE.....if it was my best friend's x it would be awkward going places as I still want my girlfriend around at times. I wouldn't be put in the middle of that one.

it's just taboo and if your friend really wants to date your ex maybe they should bee adult enough to tell you first. But anyway i think it's just wrong.

Back in college days my ex gf dated a good friend of mine and I tried to be cool with it. Unfortunately it got more difficult for me when found myself home alone on a Friday night while she was out with him and all my other friends...

They borke up...then my very best friend in the world asked me if he could date her. I said no... he did anyway.

This messed me up pretty good...

My point???

No, it's not a good idea.

You should never , ever, ever date a friends ex and your friends should never date your ex.

Billions of other men and women out there...no need to date a retread of your friend.

"WOW, soup, your best friend is an amazing person then. Shocking. Lucky you. Hope that really tells you something about him. "

completekaos, his friend just may be overjoyed that his ex found someone stable and with good qualities since there are children envolved. Not to mention that alimony ends upon her remarriage.

Ofcourse , what's the problem?I mean what if the entire town you live in was full of your best friend's ex...are you going to move to another place just to date????


Why do people love creating unnecessary problems for themselves?
