I would be hesitant about going out with any of my friends' exes, but not for that reason. I wouldn't feel loyal to my friend, unless I had expressly sat down and discussed with her my intentions.
I don't think, even if he has dated your friend, that he would compare the two of you, simply because he's not interested in going back to her? Their relationship should be over, and no thoughts of each other left. You would be the only one he thinks about if you're right for him.
Brightest Blessings.

I wouldn't go out with someone my bestfriend dated. I have a strict rule for that. You don't go where your friends have been. Meaning I don't date anyone that has dated a friend of mine. To me, that would be just to weird. I would be constantly wondering if he was comparing me and it would be weird being with him and around my friend at the same time.

I don't have a first hand experience with this. But I have seen my classmates before having this scenario. It was even different since the previous lover of the girl had become her bestfriend's new sweetheart. For me, it is so awkward to be in this situation. I just thought that maybe, they're just really in love.

I have actually Been in this situation ( way Back when ) I was really upset w/ the guy I was dating , But I knew his Best friend really liked Me.
I toyed w/ the Idea of Dating the Friend ( just to be rotten to the Boyfriend....) But when it came down to it.....I never did. I never even talked to the other friend , Because I knew ( somewhere in my Screwed up Mind ) that I did not want that action to stay with Me the rest of My life.
I would have been taking advantage of the friend ( which I don't think he would have Minded ) But I hold my self accountable for ......well......everything.....and I know me.
I didn't want that Albatross around my Neck ....Weighing me down.
My Boyfriend ( suprisingly ) parted on Amicable terms......I still see him in somewhat of a positive light.
Great Topic My friend!

I don't really think that we compare two people in our minds when we date different people, maybe more so the ways that each react to different things. Then after you've been in a relationship for a while, you just don't even think about it anymore.
I myself, tend to go with the pinky agreement, and not date people my friends have dated.

Well if shes over it and he makes you happy I dont see why not. But at the same time, id feel weird. What if they wanted to hang out alone and you didnt like the idea? She gets offended cause shes your best friend and you dont trust her, and really you have no reason to NOT trust her but it still bugs you?! It can be an iffy situation, I was in a situaiton like this once, and it was like walking on eggshells for days. Hopefully the friend is understanding

I personally wouldn't get into a relationship with a friend of my ex. To me it's just something you don't do. I know there have been people who have done it and some of them has ended up married, but I wouldn't do it.

No, because she would think it was the problem with her relationship. Unless I knew him, before her, then it might be different. But from my experience, it's better to let well enough alone.
If it was her immediate ex, like she just broke up with him and I'd be the new girl, no way....I wouldn't do that to a friend.
