4givrnt4gtr Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Say you at one point lived with 4 roommates, you are all very close. You are specially close to your actual room buddy, you guys get along great. However, this roommate dated a girl for a short time. After a month they broke up and you played the nice guy friend to the girl. Obviously you also become really close to the girl, to the point that you become best friends. Unfortunately, your room buddy is sometimes suspicious of your friendship with the girl, even though you have a girlfriend, he has a girlfriend and she is even seeing someone too. To top that off, he and her cant really be in the same room together. More his doing that hers. Anyway, you and this girl continue being platonic friends for a good amount of years. You are also friends with your roommate even though he moved far away as well as your other two roommates. However, you are all still close and miss your buddy that moved away. You feel a strong alliance to these group. THen you start having feelings for the girl and end up making out with her. Now...knowing that your buddy who is far far away might still have feelings for this girl (though he would never accept them or do anything about it) would you date this girl???
PrincessPeach Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Don't ask us... Ask your friend how he feels about you going further with this girl if your friendship is important to you.
Stockalone Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 That depends on how much the guy in question values the friendship they have. Dating the ex of a friend can be a huge no-go. If you date a friend's ex without telling him first, that can destroy a friendship as it is very disrespectful. However, this sort of thing (being attracted to the ex of a friend) can happen and if one of the guys wants to date the ex of a friend, he should at least inform his friend of his intentions and basically ask for permisson.
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Princess and Stock are right; rules are rules. Dating a good buddy's ex always requires a nod from the buddy first, no matter how far away he moved.
