To do, or not do

[the_big_E]

need some advice from out here...

I'll keep the situation short....simply put, I've know one of my better friends for 10 years and another one of my better friends for 8 years. They went out for 2.5 years and broke it off about 2 years ago...so is it wrong for me to go out with my friends ex seeing as they have both been long term friends?

any input would be helpful....thanks!

Ask Your Friend

Why not ask your friend ??

I would think that a 2 year hiatus..cool off period... would be long enough.

If they are your friends talk to them independently.

My personal take, I wouldn't do it. I have never and will never date a friend's ex, no matter what the situation. I have a friend doing it right now, lost his friend who was a good friend. Of course the jack ass is married too so that's no good, but it's always been a rule of mine, don't mow your friends' lawn, and don't shit where you eat (or eat where you shit, whatever that saying is that means, don't date coworkers, especially subordinates). Well, I have other rules, but they are good rules allowing me to do all sorts of nasty things. This just isn't one of them.

Every situation is different. I'm not clear on whether the two of them have remained friends since the break up. I think it would be a good thing if they are. Then just ask your bud what he thinks.

I had a similar situation a number of years ago, except I was the friend who had dated the woman previously, for well over a year. A friend of mine then dated her, and I was totally cool with it, even happy about it, because he was a great guy, and she was a great girl. They ended up getting married!

Good Luck!

It was on Pinto's shoulder. (Watched it last week with the kids.)

Shouldn't this be in the Quiz Corner thread where Goobers answer would be...hmmm, banana?

If you were friends prior to their two and a half year relationship and you are all still friends two years after, you should...'Fuck her!' Just stay away from comparing notes.

it may or may not be long enough to go for it, but it is definately long enough to ask.

I must say agree with thecoolguyms72's sediment...the fact is they have been friends off and on, its tough to guage how he would react if it did happen though...but nothing is imminent as it speaks, so....

why shouldn't you go out with her??

you have known her almost as long as you have known him... you have been friend's with them both for a long time... I would do it and if he gets pissed off.. he should step back and look at the situation.. he should not get jealous, especially if he has moved on and has somebody new

go for it.. then down the road when it does not work out.. you can compare notes with your friend on how good she was in bed and what she did and did not do!!
