why is it wrong to date a friend's ex?


Question Posted Sunday December 3 2006, 12:18 am

why is it wrong to date a friend's ex? i just dont get why i wouldnt do it but i still dont know why but also my friend was asking why. because she liked a this one guy and her friend knew that she likes him and she even said"im not gonna go out with him hes like my brother i wouldnt do that to her" but next thing you know she's going out with him, and i think shes mad at her about this she said she would go out with him if he asked her out but i said " i think its wrong" but she said "well i had a right to get mad at her too" what do you think about this situation?

Well it's not exactly WRONG, but it can put a tamper on the friendship. Sometimes after a girl stops dating a guy, he's still somewhat marked as her territory and some girls take it as sort of a sign of "betrayl" if one of their really good friends goes out with him. And they may take it as their friends not considering them and their feelings, which can come off as mean.

Now I can see it as wrong if for example, a girl went out with this guy and he dumped her, and she and she still loved him and had feelings for him and her best friend just went and started dating him behind her back or something. That's just downright mean, but that's not the case here.

I just think that if a friend is going to date their friend's ex, they should just talk to her about it and give her the heads up so she has more time to get used to it and accept it, and plus it wouldn't be considered "betrayl" because you're not doing it behind her back, and you considered her feelings and thoughts by letting her in on it beforehand.

I hope I helped.

it really isn't wrong to date a friend's ex, just awkward. but if someone goes out with a friend's ex, and the friend can't get over that, then he/she has their own issues they need to work out.
