Would You Date Your Friends Ex? Options

[EmoEyelinerx]

I always hear people saying "I would never ever, date my friends ex" but most of the time they go and do anyway. I was just wondering how many of you would/wouldent and why/why not. Do you think its wrong if someone does?

I personally would. I have before. I dont think its wrong afterall, it is their ex.

[31miracles]

I see nothing wrong in that.
Unless your friends ex did something really stupid to your friend.

[XRosesXAreXBlack...]

I've done that before and then she did the same thing to me.
It's a long story but basically:
They went out and broke up.I went out with him and after we broke up, she went out with him again.
(The full story's more complicated than that, but I figured no one would want to read it.XD)
We're all still friends, too.
I don't see what the big deal about going out with your friend's ex is. =/

[*MyMichelle*]

It depends on if my friend is completely over the ex or not. And it depends on why they broke up.

[XRosesXAreXBlack...]

Uhhh...NOOOOOO. That seems like a left over to me. Unless their ex's name was Lupe Fiasco or Allen Iverson, probably not.

Why not?

[xhidethedetails]

Depends if my friend still likes them or not. Then I would concider it.

[Chanfleh]

Right now, I would date my friend's ex. She doesn't want to be my friend anymore for a stupid reason and I'm falling for her ex so even more of a reason why I don't care. She's not even a friend anymore.

It depends. There are these two girls who are "bestfriends" and there is this guy who goes back and forth between them, and they're supposely "depressed" whenever he leaves one of them for the other, yet they're still bestfriends. That doesn't make sense.

Also, some girls tend to take you going out with their ex badly. So you pretty much have to figure out which ones worth it.

if i liked them, and my friend was okay with it

[RyanWasHere]

Dating a friends ex is never acceptable, someone who does that, is not my friend, I'd rather not be near my ex anymore than I have to be.

[xburnoutx00]

Uh. - Definitely not. That's all I have to say.

[misoshiru]

Depends on how close I am with that certain friend. If they're a good friend, then no, but if not? Maybe.

[crazeegirl411]

I would say not to, because really...no matter what your friend says, they will always have that feeling in their heart. Well, maybe it's just me, because I forgive but I don't forget. But still...it's just something you don't do unless you're not a very good friend. I've done something like that along the lines, and I nearly lost our friendship. I didn't, but it's never the same again. We don't talk the same way to each other...or share the secrets like we used to.

[ihearrtrevenge]

I see nothing wrong with it ; unless my friends not over her ex

[freeflow]

Depends on how close I am with that certain friend. If they're a good friend, then no, but if not? Maybe.

Yeea same here. If I like a person and they dated a not so close friend of mine why not.

[*stephinika*]

Depends who broke up with whom in the relationship and whatnot right? Like if the friend wasn't over it then obviously no, but otherwise, its an ex so whatever. One of my girl friends is dating my ex and I don't care.

[KayleighKins]

Naw, I understand jealousy, rage, sadness and heartbreak. If my friend had ever even uttered the words "I loved him" in any way, then I wouldn't date him. In fact, I would try hard to not flirt with him. Even if I didn't really think she had loved him.

It's just, there are sooo many guys out there. I don't know why I would want to jump into something that could hurt my friends feelings.

Unless, of course, my friend is already in another loving relationship. In which case he's up for grabs. Course I'd talk to her about it first. It would still make me feel guilty unless she convinced me it was ok.

[tokidokihuu]

I would ask my friend how she would feel about it o_o;;. If shes okay with it I would still have to consider how their relationship ended. If he made a horrible mistake then I'd probably think twice.

[synthase]

I'd probably be tempted to
and then I probably will
then I will feel pretty guilty
and..you know what happens

[gr00vyswordsman]

I've done that before and then she did the same thing to me.
It's a long story but basically:
They went out and broke up.I went out with him and after we broke up, she went out with him again.

We're all still friends, too.
I don't see what the big deal about going out with your friend's ex is. =/

[nycaf12]

well, for my situation, i think its acceptable. at first, my bestfriend dated "A" for a while and "A" cheated on him, so they broke up. i started talking to "a" and i got with her, but before that, i asked my best friend if hes alright with it. haha turns out my best friend was gna date "A"s best friend, "B" so yeh, but they didnt last long because'B" went back to her ex. i continued dating "A" for a while, 9 months? then she cheated on me, so we broke up. and before, "B" was dumped by her ex. a month later, i got with "B". "B" told and asked "A" if it was alright to date me, and "A" said yes, but then afterwards she told her friends that "B", also her bestfriend,was very bitchy for her to do get with me because "B" knows that "A" hasnt gotten over me yet. however, it hink that its acceptable in this case because "A" cheated on me,so she doesnt even have any right to say whatever after i broke up with "A"

kinda gay eh?

[*alovesopure*]

I guess it really depends on how close I am with that friend. Thinking of all my best friends exs, I wouldn't. Just cause I think they are dumb. Potheads and such.

But if I fell in love, and it just happened to be a friends ex, then yes. I think my friend would understand.. and if not then oh well.

[SimplicityGirl]

Yes. In fact my bf is my .. er... well...ex friend's ex.
It's a long story. We all had a huge fight over it, and in the end, she just couldn't face the fact that he didn't want to be with her anymore.
Nothing wrong with it as long as you put it out in the open.

[MrStrife]

You have to ask your friend's permission first if you want to pursue the relationship. That's the rule. But please do correct me if I'm wrong.

[trulyandnever]

Yeah.. why not?

Why ask your friend for permission...
If theyre over- its done, yup?
Shouldnt need anyones permision, she/he/friend can get over it

I suppose the reason/circumstances of why they split would play a role though.
Like, if they split because say, the boy didnt love the friend anymore, and had taken a liking to you instead...
That would be kinda different. All depends!
