Question Posted Saturday February 25 2006, 3:08 pm
Well okay, I have a friend named *Helena*. And she has this ex-boyfriend named *Kenny*.
They went out for a month and he dumped her. For that, I always thought he was a jerk.
But last night, I spent time with him and some more of my friends and my ex-boyfriend [who I think I still have feelings for]. Me and him [*Kenny*] were wrestling and he pinned me down all the time. He was being really nice to me [something I didn't think he was capable of].
Then my ex-boyfriend slapped *Kenny* with baby powder. *Kenny* pushed my ex and he [my ex] tripped and went crazy. Him and *Kenny* started fighting. And one thing my ex said was "What the $%#% *Kenny*?! You pushed me in my own damn house?! In front of my ex-girlfriend?! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
I don't know what that means. But my ex and *Kenny* were friends again minutes later.
I think I have feeling for *Kenny* since he was really sweet to me. But I don't know if I can go for him since he is one of my best friend's ex-boyfriend? Can I go for him?

Other than the obvious complication that he's your friend's ex, he's also you ex boyfriend's friend. You wouldn't be upsetting just one people but two people you were or are close to.
If you really do like him and do want to try making a go of it, you could talk to your friend about it and see how she feels. I would broach this situation VERY carefully however and rather than go diving in with "I think I like your ex boyfriend....mind if I go out with him?", I'd try mentioning him a little more subtly and take it from there. Perhaps start with how you hungout with he and your ex for a bit. Tread the water and see if it's safe. Just be careful and remember that if your friend says no way, he is strictly off limits, unless you want to risk losing a good friend. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]
deathwillcome answered Sunday February 26 2006, 1:36 am: well, you could go for him, but look at how he treated your best friend. How do you know that he won't treat you the same? The thing about what your ex said is probably him trying to show off with you, or impress you. Anyway, if you want to, you can ask him out and go out with him, but don't be surprised if he hurts you. I have done it. My ex cheated on me and then my friend asked him out and, even though she won't believe me, he is cheating on her already...it isn't very great!Don't totaly disresepect yourself. I hope that I helped and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate, but it would be nice. Thanks! [ deathwillcome's advice column | Ask deathwillcome A Question ]

You're not to go out with your friend's ex boyfriend, and she's not to date your's. I don't really know what to tell you. My best friend did that to me almost a year ago, and I HATED her ever since, because he was someone I really loved, and still is, because we're back together. =], but anyways, talk to her about it first before you decide to do ANYTHING. If she still likes him, back off.

Think about this hard, you saw how he treated your friend, and he might have just acted sweeter because of who you were around. Dating a friend's ex, and dating your ex's friend would only lead to problems. If it were me, I wouldn't go for him, but it is up too you.
