x_s_a_r_a_h_x answered Thursday May 24 2007, 11:20 am: I was in your situation a year ago, just split up with my ex then I started talking to my current boyfriend who at the time was friends with my ex and I was still good friends with him too.
It all worked out in the end and I'm still going out with him after over a year and I've never been happier.
It's not wrong as long as you go about it the right way and don't lie about anything if you want to keep your friendship with him.
But if you think that he would be too hurt by this, then don't go for it if you still want to remain good friends with him.
ConfusedOne answered Thursday May 24 2007, 10:22 am: I think there shouldn't be any problem. I have been in a situation similar to that. I went out with my ex Bf's cousin. He wasn't all that great but I don't regret it.. nor do I feel bad about it. My ex didn't think anything of it and we are still really good friends.. If you like someone then go for it, and if your ex is cool with it, or is in good terms with you then, by all means. Have fun. Don't fret about the little stuff. Take it one day at at a time.. Hope things work out for you.

If the feeling between you and your ex are on good terms and you and both your ex's friend really like eachother i think its fine. but the person that matters is your ex boyfriend you don't wanna be a bitch and go out with his friend if he still has feelings for you or something. So i'd talk to your ex about going out with your ex's friend. that is if he asks you out or you two go out. [ soccergurlie1220's advice column | Ask soccergurlie1220 A Question ]

But then, that really depends on the people involved: The ex, the friend, and, well, "you."
Is anyone going to be unhappy or uncomfortable with it? Is it going to harm any of the friendships? Is the romance more important than the friendships, or vice-versa?
Has it been discussed between the people involved?
Basically, with a genuine blessing from the ex, there's no concern. Without, there's a question as to whether he would feel resentment towards "you" or towards his friend.
So. It might not be bad. It might not be good.
Relationships are not self-validating: they aren't good just because they follow a specific pattern. Love doesn't triumph over evil: the lovers have to do that.
It's the same in all these cases.
Who can you cooperate with? Who's that important to you? That's the starting point for answering your question, and the solution will go from there.
