This is so crazy. My friend had dated my ex and I had no problem with it. He is my ex for a reason!!! We have no more feelings left for each other. Why should I prevent a relationship that could potentially turn into something real because of my own selfishness?? I say, under certain circumstances "yes".
We do not "own" our exs or our friends and if they decide to date, we cannot possibly hold it against them. Now, if you are still harboring strong feelings for your ex and your friend knows about it, then it's just common courtesy not to date him, but if it's been awhile since you 2 broke up and you have moved on and he had moved on, then why not?
I've been dating a guy for 5.5 years and he used to date one of my best friends (they only lasted about 6 months, and I also waited 6 months before actually dating him). She's happily married now!
But there's a difference between dating someone your friend went out with for 4 months 6 years ago, and someone she lived with for several years and broke up with a year ago. You might be able to finesse the former situation, but definitely not the latter.
My sister dated her friend's ex and they're happily married. She just gave birth 3 days ago. My friend "Lisa" wanted to date "Nick" but his ex, "Jessica", is still heartbroken over their relationship which ended a year and a half ago-almost two years now, I think. Lisa and Jessica are good friends, and Jessica is mad and won't talk to Lisa when she found out that Lisa and Nick were taking. I think it is important to consider your friend's feeling but people DO move on with life. She wants to be with him, but she doesn't want her friendship with Jessica to end either. She didn't date him because of other reasons too.
