I dated my last girlfriend for about three months. Things were all fine and dandy at first, but towards the end of our relationship things got rocky and I realized she was a total bitch so I decided to move it to the friends zone. Anyhow, one of my ex's best friends has a thing for me and we get a long really well. My question is this: I broke up with my ex 3 days ago... is her friend fair game to start dating, especially so soon? Thanks.

EDIT: No pics, so don't even ask. :p

Depends what you mean by fair game.

Are you going to piss your ex off and possibly her friends? Yes.
Should that stop you? Well that's up to you.

I like neither her nor her friends, so I guess that means fair game...?

Would you care if your ex fvcked your best friend? I thought so....

Seriously though, that situation is a quick way to have your name become mud in their circle. And that circle could be a lot bigger than you think it is, thus putting your penis in masturbation mode for quite awhile.

Besides, the friend who's into you now is likely only using you to settle a score with your ex, then you'll be cut. Mark my words.

As someone who was in a similar situation (best friend's ex had a thing for me), STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE. I'm still friends with my best friend out of pure luck... and that he was willing to forgive me for it.

That's some sound advice, but I have a few problems with it. First off, no one is ****** anyone, this isn't a bad porno. Secondly, my ex was a bitch... she ditched me to hang out with other guys, refused to show any more basic affection than a simple hug and was completely self-centered... just to name a few of the things. For all I care her and her friends can never talk to me again, I have PLENTY of friends of my own.

You are a wise man, MisterJackson.

Listen to the man.

Yup, wise man indeed. In high school I broke up with my ex, and she just went 10 houses down to my best friend(who has been my best friend since 1st grade...and lived 10 houses away since then...and STILL does) and started dating him. You dont' want that kind of situation. It just gets stupid after that.

Granted, my gf is my ex's best friend and I didn't even know for awhile. Neither of them said anything. It also helps when it's your ex of 2-3 years.

Still, wish one of them had said something. Spent those couple years trying to fix a messed up relationship back into the friendship it was before. It got "weird" after awhile but seems their both cool with it.

Input does not compute. Do I understand correctly, you don't like her friend but you want to date that friend?

This seems like the old highschool date circle. Everyone breaks up, tells all their friends how horrible the person was, 3 weeks later their friends are dating that horrible person. Rinse and repeat until everyone has dated everyone. Each time they didn't learn.

If you broke up with your girlfriend 3 days ago you are most definaitly NOT in the friends zone yet. It take a year or more to become friends with an ex. if it can be done at all! So the answer to you questions is. No it is not proper. you will be hurting your ex-girlfriend if you date her friend. I am assuming you are asking this as to not hurt your ex-girlfriend right?

Sounds like a 15 yr old's idea of romance. Is this strictly 1st base material? If so, all's fair in high school baseball.
