moral dilemna

[biffbacon]

ok, heres the situation. I have this pretty close friend who was dating a girl for about two years. i always thought the girl was hot, and cool, but never really thought too much about it. turns out he dumps her high and dry to get back with his ex from a previous relationship. its been a little over six months now, and hes still dating the ex he went back to....

now the drama...

i run into her at a bar last weekend. it was the first time ive seen her in like 6 months. we hit it off really well, and it turns out she has some pictures i can use for a website im putting together. we leave it at that, and go our separate ways. tonight she brings over the pictures, and we hung out for a while. i definitely got the vibe that she was interested in me, but nothing happened....

so, would it be wrong to pursue it? Would my friend have a right to be pissed at me if i did? he dumped her, theyve been broken up for over six months, and hes in his new happy relationship...

what ya think?

He dumped HER, and it's been half a year, with no signs they're getting back together.

Hit it like it owes you money.

Your friend ditched her. She's fair game.

Good God man, this is the perfect textbook case, if I've ever heard of one, in which it's OK to go with her.

The most important part is that HE broke up with her, not the other way around.

Plus, it's been over 6 months, so you didn't jump right in for sloppy seconds.

I'd hit it, and if he takes issue with it, he's not deserving of your friendship. Don't let that chick go to waste

...You lucky bastard.

Hope she really does have an interest

thats what im sayin, but hes a pretty good friend, and im a little worried about burning a bridge with a good friend for a chick

You could ask him, but if he's a good friend like you say he'll understand.

ok, let me complicate things just a little further... so the ex that he is dating now, and the other really DO NOT like each other....

and the one that he is dating now is moving to our city to be with him... and shes going to be my roommate.

i second that. but remember: you're pickin up old trash.

maybe you need a place of your own...

Oh well, this complicates it a lot. I would recommend...um, posting on AT when it all goes to sh*t. The only way around is to figure out why they don't like each other probably, but otherwise you're a bit screwed.

It's always so petty the way ex-girlfriends inherently have to hate each other. I don't see that with guys so much. I have no resentments to mrsskoorb's former boyfriends and why should I? But an ex-girlfriend of a guy automatically has to be hated by his current ex!
