Yeah this is a tough one ladies. I personally feel like there are so many options when it comes to dating and how likely is it that ‘the one’ for me is a friend’s ex. Especially if it’s a good friend. It’s possible but not likely. But hey you never know…hmmm I need another cup of coffee! LOL

It really depends on the terms of their relationship ending. If it was bad (like he cheated and what not) then obviously no. But if it was “I just don’t feel like this is leading to marriage, then I might be more likely to. I would talk to my friend about whether or not they were comfortable with me dating their ex though to be considerate. Sometimes feelings can’t be helped. So more likely then not, it would be a yes for me unless my friend had some good reasons as to why I shouldn’t (like not being my friend anymore… which is more important).

No! Never!! There’s a code among friends that you don’t date exes!!! How do u know they weren’t at it before?
