I say go for it! Because even if the breakup hurt I would still want my ex to be happy and if that happened to be one of my friends then so be it. But maybe depends on how the breakup ended?
Unless you plan on ending the friendship. My best friend did this to me to show me that my boyfriend wasn't a good boyfriend long story short we aren't friends and haven't talked since they hooked up.
Yeah go right ahead if you want to ruin yours and your best friends friendship. I guess it sounds hash but I don't want you to do the same thing happened to me
Good advice. Did you ever get your friend back?
No i didn't
She did something that I can never forget and forgive
That sucks. How long has it been
4 months
Do you mind messaging me privately
I don't mind
I can't message you on here but do you have any social media
Did you get mine?
Yes.
Which is more important to you, your friend or this guy? I don’t think that you can have both, unless your friend is really awesome.
Obviously their relationship didn't work out. Who is to say that you two weren't meant for each other. Will it hurt your friend? Maybe, but it's your decision and only you can make the choice.
Most likely you will have to choose between your friend and dating her ex. You probably won't have both... Your friend may even tell you to go for it, but she probably won't mean it.
THATS GIRL CODE: DONT EVER GO AFTER YOUR FRIENDS EX! If you like him now that means you liked him before while they were in a relationship. This is why I don't trust having female friends.
Depense who mean the person before for the friend... also the time... how serious been them relathion... If its been only few months or summer love etc. Why not? Maybe getting real love... never know, if dont try.
If know the ex and the friend had serious story then of course no chances... taboo !
I'm kind of shocked by the people that say it's not okay... if you didn't work out doesn't mean that we won't either. I have to miss out of happiness because you didn't work out. I guess this is the world we live in...
I think your missing the whole point in which it's her friend. Plus they are girls so it's usually less acceptable for them. Us guys are like screw it. Lol. However let me just say this if you have ever truly been in love and your friend dated your ex you'd be pissed. Honestly I'd kill them. If that doesn't bother you then trust me you weren't in love.
I see no problem, just make sure he is over her completely or be comfortable knowing that he may not be and may have contact with her still. You gotta go in the water prepared to swim.
Thanks for your concerns. I know that they are still in contact, but it’s completely platonic. He was the one to have broken up with her anyway. So I’m guessing he’s over her?
You'd be surprised, for all we know, he could have broken up with her cuz he wants to try you (pure assumption) for the worse, nonetheless, a possibility.
GIRL CODE! don’t do it. Ever. It hurts so much to be in her position. Put yourself in her shoes.. how would you feel if she dated someone you were with?
Only and I mean ONLY with your friend's blessing, should u date your friend's ex
Go for it.. you think she would do the same for you? You like him so there's obviously some kind of mutual feelings. He likes you as well because men do not stay on the phone with women for hours just because he likes you as a friend. They broke up its been 2 years and things happened for a reason. Sometimes we don't want to hurt the people we care about or love but in this case it happened that way.
Just let your friend know you like him and stuff before you start trying to date him. That shit burns when you find out later on.
I'm in a similar position, I think my friend is going to break up with her boyfriend (sorta my friend)
If she does I wouldn't really know what do do, it's very tough
There should be no problem with it, however some people take it as disrespectful. I personally don't care.
I think that's a little too close like yea we're over and stuff but that should just be an unwritten rule to me
I agree with @Tahmaseeb that like guys have a bro code of not dating a friends ex or an ex’s friend it’s the same with girls. If it’s a close friend or not never date an ex’s friend or friends ex. Simple as that. :)
No.. I just try to refrain myself from doing that. Plus there are so many guys out there. Why to even think about someone who is remotely related to my ex?
To clarify, it’s my friends ex boyfriend. Not my ex boyfriends friend.
And I’m not the most likeable person. So yah, there might be another 4 billion guys out there. I doubt a single one of them will ever like me and none of them will be like him
Dude.. you are young and its certain to even have these kind of thoughts. I would just say this never belittle yourself cause people will never miss an opportunity to do so. Always walk with your head high. Likeable or not.. who cares.. what matters is that you should be true to yourself. This is what I have learned so far in my life.
So your willing to chose a guy over your friendship? Because you think your not that likable in the first place? You really won't be likable if you face your "friends" ex that she still has feeling for. You should be loyal to her first. He could just be using you to get back at her if you don't even know why they broke up
Nah I personally wouldn’t do it. It’d be just too weird
