How do you get with your ex-girlfriends best friend?

Answer 1

You're treading into a messy situation here. It's not against the law to date an ex's best friend (or to date a best friend's ex), but it's unwise to ignore all of the potential consequences that most likely will occur if you get with this person.

Their friendship will be severely altered if not severed; and even if you don't care about that, consider what happens if the best friend decides to confide in your ex, either while dating you or after the romance is over. Are you fine with having all your dirty laundry--your bad habits, everything you did to and with the ex and the best friend---hashed over and scrutinized? Having your new girlfriend ask you about why you did this and this with the ex?

It doesn't matter how attractive she is----there's only a few billion other women in the world you could go after and not have to deal with this much drama.
