... because people might think that you two were having an affair while they were first together or whatever reason it is.
for me, i think it is okay. it would really be tough when you choose to date her EX, especially on the girl's part. Girls tend to be more emotional. The two girls may break their friendship because of one boy. Lucky man! anyway, i think you should weigh the consequences first and think about the pros and cons like She lost a friend but gain a great love!

hi ktmatunog,
just think about it, whatever you touch on that boy's body, your friend has already touched! eeewww! i know i hold a unique point of view, but dating a friend's ex involves mixing physically and emotionally with the friend's ex and the friend.
also, if the relationship does not last, one ends up losing a boyfriend and friend. just my opinion. take care. happy mylotting.

hi ktmatunog,
i guess i myself would not date a friend's ex but for other people if they want to do it and are willing to risk losing their friend it should be ok. who knows maybe they might marry that guy and still be able to keep their friend. i guess i just get grossed out thinking about the fact that whatever i would touch on that person's body would have already been touched by my friend.

well.., i don't think it will be great to date an ex.., especially if one of you is already dating or going steady with someone else.., but if both of you are still free.., or no strings attached with someone else.., well..,why not?!

i believe it's ok as long as you and your new bf have a clear understanding that it's going to be just him and you working on that relationship and no one else in between. i say, clean slate to begin with and move forward together.
it may seem a little awkward at first, that's true. but if your partner and you have that agreement then i think it's going to be fine.
from my personal experience and staying true to our agreement, i expected everything would be fine. but later on some things showed me that we were getting a little bit too "crowded", although it was no love triangle in the real sense. but the relationship was getting ruined slowly but surely. things were getting complicated. in the end, i gave up on both, friend and lover. i lost touch and i never looked back. it was sad, but i believe i made the right decision.

Everyone is intitled to their own opinions but for me I dont think its ok. If your friends with someone and all of a sudden you have their ex man their was a reason they broke up, so you have there dirt! A friend is someone you tell your secrets to so if your talking to them about your ex and you all are changeing advice and then all of a sudden your friend takes your ex man thats kind of foul.
