Would you date someone who remained friends with her/his ex?

it would certainly give me pause. I did date somebody who remained friendly with her ex. After a few months she dumped me and went back to him.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Never. Huge red flag

So I've done that in the past- the last guy I dated was friends with his ex. He had absolutely no romantic interest in her, but they were still amicable after their breakup.

I even befriended her briefly and she consoled me after he cheated on me (not with her; another woman). I guess it depends?

In most cases, I'd usually say "no," because I know when I break up with my exes, that's it: we completely break ties in order for me to move on and get over said guy. But if the breakup was mutual and yeah, some people really do make better friends than partners... I'd have to see how they interact together and make sure both parties are completely over each other.

1. If they have a child together, I might.

2. If they do NOT have a child together, trying to remain friends is STUPID and too suspect for me. HELL NO!

[NathanDavis]

I have, and done it myself

was never any kind of issue

[SolitarySolace]

No because they are very likely to get back together

[Wise4myage]

Only if we had a child together, otherwise hell no.

Sure, I'm friends with mine but hey it's at distance, up close I could see it being different

[msc545]

Better to be friends than mortal enemies with all that drama.

[Jennz6]

I don’t think so

[ryancg]

I have and regretted it.
