Ask your best friend tactfully how they would feel - maybe use an imaginary scenario. Then you could say something like 'So it wouldn't bother you if I asked (name) out for a drink then?'. You will probably have a good idea if your friend is still emotionally involved though in which case maybe you should leave it a while. If not then there shouldn't be a problem.
AnswerNo too close for comfort, go and find your own ground to forrage.I am a girl and my best friend used to "have relations" with this guy, now they were never dating but now me and her don't talk as much because of silly drama and if i were to date him she would think im doing it to get back at her or that im thinking about her and my intentions are bad, but i seriously like him. Idk what to do, but in my head im saying no. She confided in me and trusted that i wouldn't like him and just cause were not as close anymore doesn't mean i can like him now. be a good friend and say no...but what if its true love and im turning my back on it ahhh help me too!
Not if you want to keep your friend!

You need to talk to your best friend first. If your best friend tells you it's okay, you still need to check with their friends and family. Ask your friend's siblings first (sometimes the parents could be mad at you for asking). Ask the sibling if they know if the best friend is still upset about the breakup. Consider what the sibling has said and ask the best friend's friends as well. The sibling and friends are going to give you a more truthful answer than the best friend will because the best friend will most likely tell you that it's okay even if they aren't ready yet.
If you get the okay, make sure to wait at least a week or so. If you start dating a day later or even the day of, you could seriously upset the best friend and make them feel unloved.
Ask yourself if the guy/girl is worth messing up the friendship you have with your friend. Just remember, this person might be with you for a couple months but your friendship could last forever. Don't try to hurt anyone's feelings, the best friend or the ex.
Put yourself in his shoes would you like your friend kissing the same girl you where going out with
He might say he's ok with it but he might not
And he might be completely ok with it
But if you have to ask if it's alright then you have a tiny bit of guilt
not for a while after they break up
no
You should ask your friend first on how she feels if you date him before asking the guy.
Ask your bff first, then see what she says. If she says no, disscuss your feelings with her
It is never okay to date your friend's ex-boyfriend.
I would first ask your friend if it is okay with them, you do not want to tear a friendship apart.
i think its okay as long as you tell your friends before, and she doesn't mind.
Okay, if you like your best friends ex. you like their ex. There really is no way around your feelings, though I know you may try. Talk to your friend about it, if they are your friend they will understand, and will want to make you happy! Hope I helped!
date the one you really like, if don't like ether of them, don't date them, I'd say not to date the Ex because in general getting with your ex's is bad
Make sure that she is okay with you liking her ex. Talk to her about it, but if she is not, respect her feelings. Don't hurt your friend, because if you are there for her she'll be there for you. Friends are forever, but boyfriends come and go.
Date their friends.
Ask her if shes ok with it.
No it would be wrong
Tell your friend that you like his/her ex and ask if its okay if yes good, if no id probably sneek around, if you really like him/her
