LYYSSAA answered Friday June 1 2007, 6:04 pm: THE SAME THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME. This is my advice... go for the guy, but go for it knowing this
1) Your best friend might be a little hurt.
2) You cant talk to her about how "amazing" your boyfriend is and such like that beacue obviously it would be akward.
CheerCandi answered Friday June 1 2007, 3:40 pm: maybe it wouldnt be as awkward as you think. i saw go for it lovey. if hes so hot then say yes. but talk to your friend first and to share her feelings with you. say that you dont want to put your friendship in jeopardy. but make sure you tell her that you realy do like him. if shes really over him then she'll understand
Brandi_S answered Friday June 1 2007, 3:23 am: I know she's your best friend and all, but if you really like him and he really likes you, then I say go for it. If she gets mad about it, if she is TRULY your friend, she will get over it.
Don't base your love life on how your friends feel about it. It's your life to live, not theirs.
Yah, may sound harsh or even rude, but it is true.
If I were to have lived by the so-called rule of not dating your friend's ex, I wouldn't be happily married, and she would have never had the chance to get over it and be happy for us.
P.S. She was only mad for maybe a week... [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

Maybe one of these two scenarios happen:
Maybe she had a really good reason for breaking up with him, like he's a jerk and controlling once you go out with him, and by asking her you can prevent yourself from getting hurt the same way he hurt her.
Or maybe they're still good friends and it just wasn't right, and she'll be totally be for you two as a couple, because she knows he's a nice guy!
Jeanne answered Friday June 1 2007, 1:53 am: Well, I guess it depends on how recently they broke up, and if she still has feelings for him. If she does, then it might be better to hold off for a while. You could even tell him that... that you really like him, but you don't want to hurt your friend, so would he be willing to wait for a while? If you think your friend is pretty much over him, I would ask her how she'd feel if you went out with him, just as a courtesy. If she's really over him, she might not care at all.
