I pretty much had a fling with this guy a couple of years ago. Any how, he just contacted me via email recently asking how I was doing. Any how, he explained to me that he just got of a nasty relationship and asked me for advice. Ok, well to get to the point, he then asked me about my love life. I told him I was in an exclusive relationship, so he asked me if I would be oppossed to him dating one of my close friends. I have always gone by the rule of thumb of not dating guys that my friend have dated. Can someone give me their opinion please. Note, I haven't told my friend anything yet.

I originally said it was a fling, but I would say it was more we dated.

To clarify myself, I dated him not my friend originally. He now wants to date my friend.

The nasty relationship he got out of recently is someone I don't even know if I didn't make myself clear.

I'm totally against dating someone that used to be a friend's boyfriend. However, if they only dated I would talk it over with my friend first and get their opinion on it. It sounds like you would be the one with the opinion in this case...so it's up to you and how you feel about the guy.

Well, if you are in an exclusive relationship then why would it be a problem? Do you still have feelings for this person? Does your friend even know about this?
I don't think you should say anything to your friend, it is not really your place. Just because you have that rule, doesn't mean everyone else should live by it. Let them work it out.
I think he is being very generous in actually asking you if you would mind. He didn't have to.

that's their decision to make, not yours... that rule of thumb applies to when your friend broke up with the guy and then you go out with him.. you basically have no say if you were with him first. Anyway, if you don't like him and you're exclusive, why would you care?

You had a fling, you've moved on. He wasn't your boyfriend. Who cares who he dates?
