Is It OK to Date your Best Friend's X?????

If the breakup was amicable, yes but only after you leave some time period for the parties to fully get over their relationship (different for everyone).
If the breakup was miserable and terrible, no.

Only with permission. Otherwise what you're doing is a breach of most social conventions and is likely to piss people off.

It's ok. You just should clear it with the X before you initiate.

Actually, my best friend did date my ex husband after the divorce...I was neither surprised or upset...I knew she had been in love with him for a long time...she asked me if it was ok...and I said it was ( though I couldn't tell her I thought she wouldn't like the outcome..and I was right about how it ended..but , she would have just thought I was being discouraging)..funny thing was, though I really was ok with it...she wasn't...we were never the same again...I think she always felt guilty anyway...I really missed having her as a friend...

I don't think it is worth the that risk, from my own personal experience...

This is one of the quickest questions to answer NEVER, it has broken so many good friendships and destroyed entire social groups, so is it worth the risk NO!

No, there's plenty of out there without resorting to a friend's ex. I would consider it a betrayal if a mate of mine went out with one of my exes, unless it hadn't been that serious anyway....but I still woudn't like them discussing me. The only time I'd find this acceptable would be in a non serious relationship that didn't last very long where I was the one to end it.

On the subject of this, a guy friend of mine once asked me if I thought it would be ok for him to date his ex fiance's SISTER! My advice was no way!

NO it is not. There are basic lines you dont cross in life and this is one.
If one dose cross it.One lacks in manners respect and not a second thought for your friend.
Keep in mind if you do this to your friends.What else will you do? One cant be trusted

go figure !!!!!

Nope, never ok.
With all the men/women in the world there's no excuse for this trashy behavior.
