i dont see what the big deal is... 99% of people are gonna have ex's and your prob gonna be attracted to someone who is into the same things, and therefore has mutual friends involved.

that said. there is a diff between dating a friends ex, and STEALING a friends gf

i wont touch someone my friends have dated unless they have a mutual understanding and both partys are cool with it. its so immoral. and i expect it doesnt happen to me neither.

 

[bubz :D]

i agree with pookie here, if somebody did it to me then id probably shoot them unless id already told them explicitly that i was ok with it and i knew everyone else was ok with the situation too

yeah have to agree- a friend's ex is most of the time off limits except in different situations

don't worry.. just go and date them, every guy is their ex!

i use the rule of 6

if my friend goes out with a person for 1 day then after he breaks up.. i cant got out still 6 days are up.. totalling 7 days..
so lik the more meaningful their relationship is.. its usualli reflected by the timeframe.. e.g 1 yr then i cant got out with them for 6 yrs.. till i leave medical school

note: its a cooling off period to respect ure friend and to insure that if ure friends are players u still hav a chance at a relationship in ure lifetime..

im going out with one of my friends ex's.. well not really an ex.. they hooked up once and the event is apparently regreted by both parties. But my friend said she was absolutely fine with it, that she would rather me be with him and have true feelings for him, than her be with him and have nothing.

but i would never have gone out with him if she had of said she wasnt cool with it when i asked her..

as long as my friend was completely ok about it and there'd been a sufficient period of time between, it's on
dont anyone do what my friends ex did (or do, its up to you, i just think its slack). theyd been going out for 15 months, then she broke up with him one recess, and started going out with the guys best friend at lunch on the same day cos she decided she "had feelings for him"
give it some time

Who cares, honestly.

If a friend of mine had a problem with it, I'd tell them to sod off

 

[Rory]

I figure, they're an ex for a reason, and half the time your friends will be bullshitting through their teeth when they say it's 'fine' by them. Why would you want your friends scraps anyway?

 

[lengstar]

After a sufficient cooling off period there should be no problem, none at all. Its between the two forming a new relationship and previous ones should not be allowed to affect the current one.

i wouldn't want my friends to date my ex, so i wouldn't date their ex....

it's kinda like "i dont swim in ur toilet, so please don't piss in my pool"

 

[~*HSC 4 life*~]

yeah i think its fine as long as they are both over eachother

i used to like one of my friends (current) boyfriends...thats a different story you MUST back away from that

 

[sped_kid01]

i think its pretty wrong...it depends how serious the relationship was, and how it ended. if its cool wit hboth partys then thats ok, but otherwise, wrong...and it has 2 be totally cool, as in ur friend isnt just saying "nah its ok go 4 it" and then secretly crying...

 

[lengstar]

i don't mind if one of my friends goes out with my ex. its over better me and her so whats the problem? unless you are still smotionally attached by which YOU SHOULD GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

 

[toisthbe]

i will actaully totally turned off knowing that chick has dated a friend of mine. BUT I have a friend who is going out with a friend of mine, who is the ex- of a friend of mine, of which this friend, knows the the friend that is currently dating the ex-.

and therefore e=mc^2.

I think that if the relationship has lasted over about a year, I don't think it's very nice to ask your mate "Hey, can I date that hottie you had?". It's just plain disrespectful. However. If they have gone out for a period less than a year, make sure it's okay with your friend first. Seriously.... Half of you people mustn't have any respect for your mates at all.

(NB: A year is just the time that I think it takes to develop a strong enough relationship to be really pissed off if your mate starts cutting your lunch)
