It would turn out really awkward and strained between all of you... Better to just leave it

 I totally agree with nickers... I hate my best friend and my ex now.. They are sooo all over each other. Makes me sick!

 I don't think it's wise, because there ends up being a lot of hard feelings, and turmoil. I don't recommend it.

 It doesn't work because whatever friendship you had with them is gone once the awkwardness goes away.

 An advice from me to you: Don't ever do that.

 Well dear you CAN date them, but it sure isn't smart! And seriously, it isn't a very nice thing to do either, is it? If you didn't already know this you wouldn't be asking. If you want to chance it, you can ask your friend how he/she would feel about it and then make up your mind to act accordingly. But you need to know you do risk losing this friendship. And the reputation of you doing this will follow you, so you may lose more than one friend.

 A "real" friend wouldn't do that to someone they cared for.

 That is just a bad idea all around... Its not worth losing a friend over a girl or a guy. Good friends are hard to come by, why compromise it.

 No i don't think it is a good idea to date and your friends ex. Just depends on how good of a friend they are because it might ruin your friendship and who likes going in behind your friend to me that is gross. I would not want to do it. That's just me.

 NO that was a big thing with me and my ex all of his exs dated his friends and it really bothered him and i promised him i would never do that to him. And i have held true to that i may have hung out with or talked to them but when it came down to it i could never date them b/c i cared about him to much to brake that promised to him now we are becoming a lot closer and could even possible date again

 NO way There are more fish in the sea....why would you

 Hell NO are you crazy!! How would you feel if they dated your friends or better yet your sister or brother (if you have one?)

 Just because there your ex's friends doenst mean that you shouldn't date them.. Mabey gid had you get with your ex so you could meet his friends because that's the one your meant to be with.

 No. I know this from experience.Man my bf was so obsessed w/ me that his friend turned me down cuz he got yelled at by him for trying to kiss me.

 Grow up people!... If your relationship failed, don't take it out on your friends... Maybe they were the couple that was meant to be... Just let things happen... Date their sibling...

 If your best friend starts flirting with your ex behind your back and then goes out with him the day after you broke up with your ex...that is not okay. 1. It would be Soho award. 2.nobody wants to hear your best friend talk about your ex in front of your face :( it hurts if your still not totally over them.3.and your best friend would NEVER do that if they were your best friend in the first place.

 Yish - no way. How would that make your ex feel? Too strange. I would never consider dating or being with my ex's friends.

 Not if they are still friends. They still talk and that's not a good thing. Almost all of my ex's friends have tried to get with me and I refuse. They let him know too. So what does that tell you. And quite frankly, I would not have any of his friends.

 2 unwritten rules. DONT date your best friends ex and DONT date your ex's best friend....My best friend did both and I come out the victim every time. My (so called) best friend tells me everything and the last thing I want to hear is how in love she is with him and what they do together. I was still good friends with my ex and there were still feelings there on both parts, now I've lost 2 people I cared about, I feel totally sh*t on and its all a mess, I'm disgusted with both of them, they are selfish and have no thought or consideration for other peoples feelings they are just out for themselves, while I'm left to deal with the hurt I'm bitter now and don't know who I can trust!

 No its realy not ok. Its your freinds ex. That is realy wrong.

 I say no !..It can create awkward situations

 Really ? How would you feel ?? It's the best question to ask cause that's the only way to get through someone`s head !!! IT's wrong ... And just imagine when you break up with his friend what kinda stories would circulate ... Don't bother there is the rest of the population that is not taken!!

 How would you feel if your best friend broke up with this guy, and then went after you? Disgusted? Annoyed? Certainly there is someone else out there for you.

 No I would never do this.
These are youre friends ex.s. Their are plenty of guy out their, find a fresh new one, intead of youre friends ( sloppy seconds)
I didnt mean to sound so crude on that stament, but if you get the drift go out their and meet someone new for you. :)

 It will be really awkward and unfair on your ex. How would you like it if it happened to you! I no its hard if you cant stop thinking of someone, but it will make things difficult with the new relationship if you choose to date him, because your ex's mates might back him up and make it hell for you and your new partner.

 That is rarily a good idea. Way too aukward for all invovled. There is bound to be resentment when the relationship works out for your friend that you've known for a while.

 Not at all! Even if they are over the person its just not a good situation. Your BFF may be over the person but it would create some weird situations for the both of you.
