Should I date our mutual friend?

Question

I've broken up with my boyfriend as of recent, who I've been dating for almost 5 years. We weren't compatible on many levels, and I gave him a lot of chances. So we're kaput, moving on.

However, I desperately want to date a friend of ours - but it's driving me crazy. We were all friends at the same time, and I'd like to think he and I are better friends than my ex-boyfriend and he. But, I also don't want to ruin what friendship I COULD have with my ex.

So would dating said friend be wrong? Should I simply stick to staying friends and try to find someone else? I ask, because the two of us have so much in common, and really click on a level my ex and I did not.

(And no, I did not break up with my boyfriend to date the friend. That's just stupid.)

Even moreso, should I be the one to "break the ice" to say? Or should I simply let things fall where they are, and if he's interested take it from there?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

i would just leave it alone ,if its something he wants to do he will come and talk to you ,most friends do not do this at all because of all the feelings involved .then if you did get together he would be wondering who else you want to date and it wouldn't work out anyway,its best to just move on there is someone for you and who knows you may end up with a much better bunch of friends so the answer here is (no) its best not to do it........

Answer 2

I'd suggest waiting for a while, since it sounds like you two broke up recently. Guys seem to have a strong bond, and perhaps dating each other would just be bad news for your friendship with your "ex".

Let your friend come to YOU if he's interested, otherwise it'll come off totally wrong of you!

Answer 3

There is nothing bad to date with your mutual friend anyway your ex boyfriend has nothing to do with it because on the first place he is an X already.

you need a break, something to enjoy life after all breaking up is so stressful :)
