Well i am going to ask this girl out soon and we flirt alot and it just so happens that her best friend is my ex.

I was wondering if it was looked down upon. Me and my ex are still really good friends.

Any help would be great...

It's good that you and your ex are still good friends.See what she thinks by asking her in a what if question what she thinks about you dating her friend but always remember that she can't stop you from dating her friend as long you both like each other.

All the best.

Just like everyone said before me, ask your ex before you move ahead with it. I had a friend go behind my back to get my ex and it hurt a lot when I finally found out since I still had hardcore feelings for him at the time.

ask if they feel that it is ok, but who dumped how if she dumped him there is a chance that he still has feelings for her, and member that some people do say that it okay but deep down it's not. And rember bro's before .... yeah you get the point!!!

SamuraiRick agony auntI don't think there's anything wrong with dating an ex's friend. If your ex is a cool person she may even give you her blessing and be happy that you two can be happy. Just don't throw it in her face and use a little discretion. If you broke up with your ex in friendly terms, which it sounds like, you should be ok.

A reader, anonymous, writes (29 November 2007):

I would suggest, particularly if you and your ex are still good friends, is to tell her that you are wanting to ask this girl out, but didn't want to hurt or offend your ex.

She may be very happy and have no problem. Whilst, now that you and her are not together, and she really has no rights or interest now in you, it makes it sometimes uncomfortable if she will be seeing close up your new relationship with her best friend. It will be hard for her as this girl will want to talk about you and she may feel a bit funny not necessarily jealous.

You seem like a nice young man who does not want to hurt anyone or do anything which is inappropriate, I think that is fantastic. But if you have a little chat with your ex, you will soon see if it is going to be a problem for all of you before you ask her out.

thatgothgirl20 agony auntIf you and your ex are still really good friends ask her how she would feel about it. Also keep in mind that females talk. Do you really want your new gf venting about certain things she hates that you do to your ex, and then just talking and talking about you behind your back?

jm81690 agony auntIt depends I guess, how long ago were you dating your ex?

If it was recently your ex will probably get jealous, especially if you broke up with her.
