Is It Ever Okay To Date Your Friend's Ex? by zboyd: 7:49am On Aug 04, 2014
Are these relationships workable or wrong from the start?

Have you ever dated a friend's ex?

Are there some people that you should never date?

For me, it's a NO NO...none of my friends should date my ex.

I am in such a dilemma now. My friends ex and I have been friends even while they were dating. We lost contact and recently started talking. We hang out and enjoy each others company. But I am playing careful.
I feel the way we are going, we are gradually building something.
I don't know what to do?
Stop it? Tell my friend? Go ahed?
So confused.

popobaba: For me, it's a NO NO...none of my friends should date my ex.

Why? Is there any law or custom or social belief that states that it is wrong?
If they get to find themselves in it. What will you do?
And you didn't say if its a No No for you to date your friends ex.

What if you meet a guy somewhere, you guys become friends and then you later find out that he dated your gf. Will u break up with her?

I won't date my friend's ex. On ur last question, I don't think the OP is referring to that context, if i didn't know the guy before i started dating her, no qualms.

I can't do that because my friend may believe that I was envious of his relationship and were secretly hoping it would fail so I could have my turn. It ll ruin our friendship and genuine friends are hard to find.

If you do it angry then you obviously don't value your friendship.

No no no and NO! History and comparisons will ruin your relationship. Then there's that awkward moment or two where you are reminded your friend was in this place with him/her doing this/that with him/her and unnecessary jealousy begins.

Sides do you really want your friend making statements like you're having his/her sloppy seconds?
