No...many would see that as betrayal.

**I'm playing devils advocate here**

If they are broken up...then there would be no cheating right??...and if they still had feelings for each other then they would not have broken up in the first place right??

If they are now "single"...they both would naturally start dating someone else...so what is wrong about it if that "someone" your ex starts dating...is someone you know??

Well...maybe the friend still has feelings for their ex...that could lead to a break in the friendship.

If he's the ex of a good friend - chances are we've talked about WHY he's the ex....ie what happened (his "problem"?their problem")

TMI...

And even if the problem wasn't an issue for me it would show a lack of respect for her on his part and mine ( if we did date ...)

No, there HAS to be more options than her ex....

My 1st girlfriend...I mean real girlfriend, not puppy love was with my best friend's ex. He dumped her for another woman (he is still married to her after 25 years!!). But I asked him if it was OK for me to date his ex. He said no problem, and I fell in love with her. So sometimes it does work...just be open and honest. We dated for 2 years before it ended.

Geez Dave...don't you know i just "generalize" questions so that my thoughts are do not become the issue....laugh


But no...I would not date a friends ex...I think someone else has said it here...if we are friends chances are her and I have "dissected" him a few times in conversation...and again if we are close friends...we probably have the same tastes in things...so i'm thinking the same reasons she did not get along with him for are the same issues i would have with him...

it is easiest not to date that person. Keep the friendships and not add hurdles to get over.

Can you explain what the "moral" issue would be??

Wouldn't the friend's "ex" be single at this time??...so no "cheating" is going on....
