Are you okay with your friends dating your ex?

[coachTanthony]

Sure

Hell nah

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't want to see my exes, I don't want to hear about my exes, and I don't want to know who they are fucking now.

I have a colleague who is doing online dating. He saw one of my exes on POF and thought it would be "funny" to prank her by him scheduling a first date and then we both show up. I called her and warned her about the dude and she thanked me for the warning.

Another time, he actually had a first date with a woman I had dated for about four months (but he didn't realize that before he met her.) As soon as she figured out that he and I work together, she let him know they wouldn't be having a second date.

Sure you can date her, but that would result in our contact to come to an end (for as long as the relationship holds), as I do not want to see or hear about my ex again.

She dumped me, and rejected all attempts I made after that to get back together, which caused me quite a bit of pain. I have since then found someone I am a much better match with, but I don't want to be reminded too much of the pain my ex caused me to experience.

But yes; anyone may date her. I will not stand in the way of your happyness.

My close friends are all married or in serious relationships but if they were all magically single I would be happy if they were to date each other because both the females and the male I dated are good people and both groups deserve to be happy. I don't believe we failed as a team because of moral problems, I think we were just too unsteady in our communication style and interdependency due to not developing a crystal clear understanding of who we are and what we want in our lives.

[TenderFantasy]

She wouldn't be my friend anymore if that were to happen. That's just rude and awkward. How would SHE like it if I did that? There's 8 billion people in the world, half of them are males, half of that is over the age of 18, so that's STILL PLENTY LEFT for her to fuck around with! WHY MY EX! ? That's SHITTY and DISRESPECTFUL of me and my relationship with my ex in my opinion! ! She's disrespectful of me and my feelings. Maybe she's even the reason my ex and I broke up, so no thanks!

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

They’d not really match each other. They are totally different types.

[AviatorTom]

Sure, if they're okay with seconds... or maybe thirds. 😎

[Screenwriter]

Never had this experience. But if someone is truly my "ex," and my friends have heard the story of why he is, then it's their choice. And who knows. Maybe they get on fine where we couldn't.

I think it'd be odd, but I've got no skin in the game. Just hope he doesn't pull some of the stuff he did with me.

[wiltingrosepetal]

Nope. I only have one ex who i dated for two years. I grew up beside him, I graduated beside him, he was my first love, kiss, date, etc. And would've been my first time if we didn't split.

I think I've earned the right to be predetorial if any one of my friends dated him ☺ Shut that down or I'm never talking to you again 💞

[sawno]

If I notice that she is available and they are dating i'd approach her myself to. We failed on good terms, so if she were to be open to dating again i'd obviously try and I'd be more likely to succeed than my friends. If she then still goes with a friend the doors closed from then on for her to come back to me.

[HawkPerception]

I personally feel like I would never date a girl that my friend has been with. A lot of feelings come up regardless of if you call yourself "mature" or not and I wouldn't want to put my friend through those emotions.

If I would never do that to a friend, I'd hope that they never do that to me.

It's a no for me.

[SotiCoto]

When I got a divorce, I basically acted as matchmaker for a mutual friend and my ex-wife because I knew he always liked her. Figured he could do a better job than me.
Turns out he had to call it quits in the end too, but it went well for a while.

[electromagnetic]

Truthfully, I’d be surprised if any of my friends wanted to date my exes. Considering we all have different tastes, I’d probably allow it just because I’d want them to be happy. If it was a shitty ex though, I’d put my foot down.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I sure wouldn't care now. Probably wouldn't care back when I had an ex. I've been with the same woman for almost 22 years if you count dating :-)

[caitycat21]

No. Even if I was over my ex, literally why.. there’s so much fish in the sea and you go after my ex?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It has happened and I didn't mind especially since I encouraged it.

[Guccigabbana18]

Hell to the nah. A real friend (close friends) wouldn't date my ex.

[slatyb]

They never would. None of them liked her. Should have been a sign.

[ArrowheadSW]

I've never been in that situation, but I think it would make me a bit uncomfortable.

[katiesmuff]

If they didn't catch on when I had him then fine with me go for it and best of luck.

[FunkyMonkee]

if he WAS my friend, I'd try to steer him clear of her!! I wouldn't want him getting hurt, too!

[BCRanger10]

No! I love and care about my friends too much to allow them to endure such horrors!

[LiamJHayden]

My exes are all fine ladies with whom it just did not work out and my friends are all great, so if they are happy together why would I have an issue with it?

[lilBigPotato]

I'd prefer if they don't but it's none of my business

[Sparkie460]

My friends would never date anyone I went out with just like I wouldn't date anyone they went out with
