Is it wrong to date a no longer friend's ex?

Asked By: jenn070809 18-21, F 11 months ago

I used to be really good friends with this girl and then we got into a fight and she has not been my friend for seven months. She broke up with her boyfriend and then me and him became really good friends. She does not what anything to do with him anymore. So....what's your opinion?

Interesting...
On one hand "Never date a friend's ex" comes in, but on the other hand, she's no longer a friend.
Hm...I'd say wait a little while, make some hints. See if he makes the first move. If he does, then alright. But after a month or so, if he hasn't, though? Go for it.

Depends on the mentality of the ex friend and if you keep your car in a garage or on the street.

Just remember that she now hates you both (twice the resentment) and if she still has any close friends in town it would behoove you to keep it on the down low for a while.

If you are no longer friends, it shouldn't matter what you and her ex do. go for it.

If she's no longer your friend, what's the issue with dating her ex boyfriend?

I'd say it depends on how close she was to each of you; if it was close enough to really feel betrayed I would look at that seriously. It's one thing to have her as "no longer a friend"; it could be something else to have her as an actual enemy. :(

its not even worth it. the guy ****** around with your former friend, and if you really respected her, youll leave him alone.....no offense if that sounded hypocritical. for example, its like if you have a friend youre friends with now, and she has a boyfriend, and you screwed around with him. she'll hate you forever, and i dont think that its a good idea.

I did not have a lot of respect for her and I still don't...I actually have less now than I did before. She is a complete ***. I don't just say that cause I like her ex....the truth is she is an ***. Anyway, my question for you is do you still think it is a bad idea?

Well, first of all it is not like I planned this all out. It just happened over several months. Second, he is one of the best guys I have ever met. So why not?
