Because it would hurt your friend badly. Is he really worth that to you?

Well, that all depends on a lot of special circumstances..Like, how close you and the friend are, how long you've known the guy, if your friend still cares about the guy, etc. If wanted o date your friend's ex boyfriend, I would suggest talking to the friend about it first. But usually, in this situation, It almost always comes down to simply choosing between the guy, and the friend.

When most relationships end, especially in young people, they do so after a " fight", a disagreement, jealousy, anger of some sort. To then date your friend's " ex" would be painful to that person, and jeopardize your friendship.
With so many choices of people to date and get to know, one would have to ask why would someone want to date a friend's ex and risk losing that friend.

mkay! i ask my self the exact same question all the time.
*but* then you must take a walk in your friends shoes.
put it this way if you & your boy friend break. up then you wouldn't want your good friend runnin him and snatching him as soon as you let him go would you? NO.. i know it sounds crazy when your the one wanting to date your friends ex. but i think that if you really want to date that person then you should confront your friend about it. let her know that its not something that your doing to try to get back at her. that you just really like the boy. & it just so happnens that she dated him before you did.
but make sure you work things out w// ur friends, because liike the saying goes
"Boy friends come & go. but friends stay for ever!!"

Because there will always be feelings for someone you have had a relationship with. Even if it was a bad breakup or some other reason that caused you to end it.....that doesn't mean you want to see your best friend with him. And best friends are suppose to be able to talk about everything and that just ruins that. You cant sit around and talk about your ex and your friends relationship, sex life, fights or anything without comparing it to your relationship, sex life and fights. Too hard.

it's a form of betrayal. At some point, your friend had feelings for this guy. Now, the relationship is over, however she may still have something lingering. And even if she doesn't, think of it this way. If he wasn't good enough for your friend, he's probably not good enough for you either. Also, think about it this way... would you want your friend to date your ex? It's just one of those things... it's claimed territory, regardless of if they are together still or not. Guys come and go, real friends are forever.

Because there are plenty of men in this world and taking your friend's seconds shows a lack of respect for your friend. I always had a policy with friends to never be interested in the same guy as them. Friendship is FAR more important than who I date. I'm still friends with those girls to this day, but those men are history.

Just put yourself in her shoes. Would you want her to date your ex? I know I would not want that. Just think about it that way and maybe you can make the best decision that way.

If she is really your friend, and you are close to her...dont date her ex...it might ruin your friendship.
But if she is not your close friend, and you really like the guy, go date the guy, you will find another friend..and the good thing is, you got your guy.

It is disrespectful to date your friend's ex. If you value them as a friend you would not do it.

Well you wouldn't want your friend to date your ex would you? I know I wouldn't. Your treat people the way you want to be treated.
