    Default guy code or whatever..

    What do the people of IA think? Is it ok to date a friend's ex? given this situation, You been with this girl for a couple of months and whatnot but the realationship was getting serious but things came up.. [living in another state, money, and blah blah.] So of course you being into this girl you talked about her.. a lot. So now that you two are not together your buddy that knows everything about her CAUSE of you is making moves on her but is denieding the actuations... but clearly he does it in front of your face.

    this is what I got from him " situational consequences and correlating various relationships. weighing the situation and attempting to find a happy medium. sorting things out in my head in other words."

    Poll coming just wait

    I think if you let her go...she's fair game for anyone. Who are you to keep a guy from finding a girl that he might end up being REALLY happy with??

    the fact that he's using the infomation I gave out [dumb mistake] to make him seem like the perfect guy for her... Again I didn't want to let her go but at that moment I had to.

    If you saw a girl that you liked and you happened to know some info about her that you know would help your chances...I'm pretty sure you'd use it to your advantage too.

    agreed.

    plus when you are young, does it really even matter? you need to date/meet different ppl. thats part of the game and education.

    heh Its all in a short time period, plus Its not something Im gonna break my head over, it's just that MOST of my friends pretty much agree that our "ex's" are off limits. But I guess one didn't think so..

    I think that's stupid...you can't help who you're attracted to. Plus, in 10 years it's not even gonna matter, so, why dwell on it now?

    Who cares what your friend thinks?? He's obviously ok with the idea. If YOU were HIS friends you'd just be glad that he's happy, right? Like I said before, if you really wanted her you wouldn't have let her go.

    Depends on how you feel.

    Types of situations
    Let's say you care and don't want your friends messing with this girl.
    -Your real friends won't fuck with her
    -Your "friends" will fuck with her
    -People you don't know will fuck with her

    Let's say you don't care
    -Everybody will fuck with her.

    Didn't read your thread, but the odds are against you in any situation.

    then you shouldn't have let her go. It's your mistake...don't take it out on your friend. If you REALLY REALLY liked her, you would've found a way to make it work.

    No, NO, and HELL NO.

    You never date a friend's ex. NEVER. If they are truly your friend, then you respect that, period.

    Some of you have not been fully cooked yet, so this is where having been around the block a few times, i.e. being old, is advantageous.

    Friend's exes should always be strictly off limits, UNLESS you either have, A: the friend's blessing, or B: it was just some menial one-night type of relationship. If they dated for any reasonable length of time or you KNOW that he/she (your friend) had feelings for that other person......then its absolutely "NO".

    Why should it even matter?? If you let someone go, you're saying they're free game for anyone. If you're gonna get hurt by someone talking or flirting with your girl, then you're obviously not over them and probably shouldn't have broken up with them in the first place.

    I mean if it was me and my bf left me and his friend hit on me, id have to punch his friend. but then again it also depends on how long you guys dated cus ive been with mine for 4 years . but i still wouldn't go for my bf's friends. thats just sleazy on both their parts. just tell her how you feel cus obviously you still have something for her of you wouldnt be concerned about her

    i would never mess with a friends ex.. it just goes against my code.. especially if yall are good friends. And if you know that your friend liked the girl alot. its just asking for problems..

    but the world is all fucked up nowadays.. dudes dont follow no kind of codes.. they just fuck and suck everything without any boundaries..

    It's okay to date her, but only if she screwed your friend over and the sole purpose of you dating her is to show up at her doorstep one day later in the relationship to present her with a cardboard box full of angry wasps.

    Oh shit I just dealt with some crap like this. Here's my take on it. I thinks it's ok to as long as they both come to you and ask *prob won't happen though* if its cool that they date. Not that you have to just out of respect and consideration. At least the friend should and it ended up helping me get over her because I knew I could do waaaay better.

    ask him, if hes like me and dont give a fuck, then go for it. If he does, fuck her while shes drunk so she'll know nothing.

    plus when you are young, does it really even matter? you need to date/meet different ppl. thats part of the game and education.

    If you let a girl go, you can't control who she goes out and sees. If you're gonna get pissed because she's seeing someone you're not comfortable with, then you shouldn't have let her go.

    but once again, that's my just opinion.
    And that, my friends, is just the first couple of pages. I wouldve quoted more, but I'm on my iPhone.

    I'm guessing someone fucked your ex by how hard you worked on this to "make your point".
