Answer 1

yes it would be DEF wrong to date your friends ex because just friends don't do that because it hurts them trust me i know my friend has done that with two of my boyfriends that i deeply loved and she is nothing to me anymore because she had to feel the need to still my boyfriend and get herself knocked up because she acted like she was scared of having s*x but then went right at it and got pregnant also because my ex wanted to to. and i didn't feel it was right for me to get pregnant right now but she felt the urge to so i mean whatever floats there boat i mean yeahh i wouldn't say we are best friends of course we are friends and of course we talk but i can never trust her anymore.

Answer 2

Please don't, unless your friend gives you permission to do so. My ex and I were together for nearly two years, and my best friend and I were friends for over 4 years. About a month after my ex broke up with me, he started dating my best friend. She just up and walked out on me, and I didn't do a thing to make her do so, and she didn't seem to feel she did anything wrong. I went through months of depression, and neither speak to me anymore.

"You don't date your best friend's ex, unless she gives you permission."

Listen to those words. I lost two wonderful friendships all because of my best friend agreeing to date my ex. My heart was shattered, and I am still picking up the pieces nearly 9-10 months later. Please think this through, and talk to your best friend.

Answer 3

Yes, that is wrong if you don't try to have amature conversation about it with your friend.  It makes you look like a backstabber and make him look like a dog.

Answer 4

Its OK as long as your friend doesn't like him anymore.

Answer 5

thats a cardinal rule in friendship... never date an ex.. but if u arent friends with that person aanymore than it doesnt matter.. but if u are then show sum respect nd pick sum1 else

Answer 6

It wouldn't be weird since you guys aren't close anymore and she moved to another school. It should be cool. but yeah, if you guys were best friends still, he'd be off limits since they had a pretty close relationship with the guy and she'll probably get all jealous and stuff.

Answer 7

If you still value your relationship with this girl you should ask her permission first.  If she is over this guy then she won't have any problem with it.  If you don't it will cause a lot of drama between you two and more than likely between you and this guy. But if you and this girl no longer talk or see eachother...then I'd say he's up for grabs.

Answer 8

No. They aren't dating anymore are they? Then there is nothing wrong with it. I mean unless she plans on getting back with him but I highly doubt that.

Answer 9

I  think its wrong.

Answer 10

If you're not really friends with her any more, it's been a while since she dated him and she's at a different school, I think it's ok.

No

Answer 12

Very much so.  If your friend means anything to you.  If she means nothing to you, then go ahead.  It is really an unethical thing to do though to date ex's of your friends and/or relatives.  There are enough people in the world so that you don't have to do stuff like that.
