Is it ever okay to date your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend best friend?

Question

Is there a time limit to asking them out or is it just wrong? Does it depend how long the relationship has been over?

I broke up with my ex seven years ago and his best friend is hitting on me now. They are still best friends and claims he has been hiding his feeling for me for a long time.

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Many of the problems you may be facing could be just the tip of the iceberg on what is really happening in your marriage. I dont mean to scare you but many problems when they either first show up or if they keep reoccurring could be just whats showing from a larger problem that either you or your spouse cannot even see. One of the only things you can do to help is to talk honestly and openly with each other in the marriage. If things become more serious more serious options need to be looked at as possibilities. I have a blog that has more information on some of what I've been writing about. If you feel like checking it out I would completly suggest it. Read here https://tr.im/2hOwa

Love is a choice that is made everyday when you wake up and every night when you go to sleep. Some days you may not feel the original feeling but love isnt a feeling or an emotion. Its an action a verb. Falling out of love may just mean you need to spice things up a little or that you were never in love in the first place. Don't just get out of a marriage just because you don't think you like the person anymore.

A lot of people do it. But I think it is a waste of time. If they are an ex, there is a reason for it. If it did not work the first time, it seldom will again.
Are you sure you are just not wanting to go out with them because you are lonely? It may be because you are afraid to meet new people and you just want to be with someone with whom you are already familiar. Make sure you you are wanting to be with THEM instead of just SOMEONE before making the decision.

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/AKiLB
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.

Answer 5

I would say ... don't.
There are so many more out there then to start dating someone who is close to someone you dont really want to be around. The ex-person will always be a problem in some sort of fashion.

Answer 6

Nothing is impossible.The important factor is do U really love that person.I think U can date your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend best friend absolutely because your best friend break up with that person and you have the right to do it.

Answer 7

Well me and my boy friend were set up by his ex and we have been together for over a year and a half so to me yes if the friend is OK with it go for it.

Answer 8

It all depends on your relationship and theirs....I dated my ex's nephew 2 years after we split up.

Answer 9

personally, I would not date an ex....their loss, if the suggest it.....go on with your life. If you need a date....go out with a bewst friend, not necessarily a date, but you will ahve good company, and probably exjoy yourself

Answer 10

Yes it's ok...........my older sis is marrying her ex-boyfriend, from when she was 15,in August.

I am dating my best friend!

You date anyone you want,it's probably better to date your best friend because then you would probably get along better.

Answer 11

It's not a good idea. Been there done that, and ended up losing a friend in his best friend.
Seriously, it's a mistake if you make it.
