Should i flirt with my best friend's ex boyfriend?

Question

he is so hot and they broke up sometime last year. she always talks about him still but claims she doesn't like him. i sort of liked him last year and now i really do. last year i threw hints to her that i thought he was cute but i don't think she realized it.

in lunch today she just kept talking about him and my other best friend asked if she still liked him and she said no but i said "yeah she does" and she started blushing. then in the lunch line she said "he is so hot" and i was like "who?" and she just started smiling so i was just like oh.

in gym today we ran together and talked and he left his group in class to come sit at my desk with me and this other girl (he doesn't like her, they're just friends) so we were having a class discussion and every time i would say something her would be like "danyell said [blah blah blah]" and he would blush so i would laugh and be like "shut up, 'bob' (not his real name)".

so do you think i should flirt back with him? oh and he's short; he's like 5'2" and I'm almost 5'6" should that matter?

Answer 1

no don't do that cause she still likes him she doesn't want to tell anyone and plus friends are always forever but most boyfriends don't last but friends do

Answer 2

Absolutely not!

This is your best friend you're talking about, someone that I assume you care about as you call them your best. If you care about that person as much as you do, then knowing that she'll hurt if you two get together should definitely prevent you from considering him. There are plenty of guys out there, and none of them are worth losing a best friend.

Answer 3

NO

My best friend did that and it made me soo mad!

Answer 4

If you really like him, go ahead but just be aware that you will more than likely lose you friend in the process.  And chances are the guy will be long gone and you'll be without a good friend.

Answer 5

your a S****y best friend if you do flirt with him

Answer 6

Not if you want to keep your best friend. I would leave well alone.

Answer 7

dude you can tell she still likes him and he (if her name is danielle) still likes her so leave it own. find somebody elsee. your a bad bestfriend to even think about doing this

Answer 8

why don't you ask your friend? tell her that you kinda like him and would ask him out if she doesn't mind. If she says ya go for it then be like alright but if she is like ummm then say nevermind. its not worth fighting over a boy with your bff.

Answer 9

Well, you should ask your best friend if you can flirt, because if she doesn't like it, then you might lose your friend.

Answer 10

Yeah if you do it discreetly, your taking a risk of loosing your best friend though, up to you.....But he is short, short people are not to be trusted.  

Answer 11

If you want to stay friends with your bestfriend I suggest you stay away from her ex cause no girl wants their bestfriend dating their ex.Put yourself in her shoes.
