I don't wish to argue, I'm just curious.

If friends are so important to you, why expect them to give up their chance at happiness?

Ta,

~C

Go live "YOUR" life!!

Please, come live mine .

WHAT IF, an ex was not right for you, but possibly they could be right for a friend??

Why would we not want an ex and a friend to be happy?

"Why" would I want to live your life? I am very content living mine..

Only because you know no different.

Seriously, I could do with a couple of days off.

it definatly is wrong if u ask me, i would never even flirt with a freinds ex ever!!!

its just out of order in my eyes

oh great...does that mean i shouldnt sleep with my brother in law??? haha im kidding omg dont shoot! naw i dont think its cool to date your friends ex gotta put yourself in their shoes how would you handle it?

ill never do it agian!!!! it was awkward feeling for me when my gf set me up with a guy she dated and when she dated him said she really didnt like him much anyway... well i thought he was nice <turned out he wasnt right for me>..... funny how she had moved on to the next guy already when she set us up and had been for months.... for some reason we no longer talk wth? she begged me to go out with him? what a mistake!

Hey......if my friends think they can be happy with my ex.....more power to them.......but they all witnessed the events.....so very doubtful any of them would be interested in her.....
as for me.......I would not disrespect my friends in that way!

my friend married a ex of mine and asked when he started dating her if i minded....all i told him shes a ex for a reason...hope you can put up with her and best of luck..lol


to me ..he asked first so i didnt mind, he was respectful

it is a bad idea to date a friends ex, ever, unless and this is only unless, you ask and get permission. no amount of time will work, that friend will always harbor feelings for that person and hate everyone they are with. you will be garaunteed to lose a friend if it happens.
with that said i could give a ton of stories about that, but i won't share them to the public. if you want to know, you can contact me and i will tell you

The rules of dating a friend's ex:

1. The split has to have been mutual and friendly
2. The ONLY reason for the split can be lack of chemistry
3. I'd say a good year should go by
4. THEN you still should ask.

Any other time, NO. If they even had sex, its a BIG no. Pretty much it can only be someone they dated for a short time, not anyone that can be really considered an ex... or anyone who did them wrong.

Seriously, I could do with a couple of days off.

And "THAT" is precisely why I retired!!

And "WHO" makes the rules??????

For men...
His name is Neil Strauss

For women...
Her name is Ellen Fein (oh, and Sherrie Schneider)

PERSONALLY NOT ONE FOR LEFT OVER OR SLOPPY SECONDS ESPECIALLY FROM A FRIEND, THEREFORE ALL EX'S ARE OFF LIMITS.

NO NEED IN HELPING HIS EGO GET ANY BIGGER.. LMAO

ah...many dynamics to consider.

my best friend dated every guy that walked, it seemed. no, really. if i were to confine myself to ones she had NOT dated...well, i'd've never gone out. ever, lol.

sometimes, i'd mention to her that i was dating such-n-such, that i KNEW she'd been with before...and she wouldn't even remember their name.

if time has passed, and they've moved on...or split amicably...it can work out just fine. if they are still emotionally hung, maybe not. i'll be damned if i feel guilty for dating the guy that SHE DUMPED and trod on...and now she's married with a brood of kids.

I did it...I asked my friend if it would be ok before we dated. He had another girlfriend and he said it really was ok. We all got along fine.
