This is not something Ive ever approved of. Just curious as to your opinions. The friend is now married , ex.boyfiend was from nearly 10 years ago. I met him randomly , he is cute , , he is still friends with my friend and it came up in conversation he'd met me (and other girls , I guess they talk about thier current love lives) he's looking for a girl friend. I wanted to take a break from dating so Im thinking that's what I'll do , but funny men really seem to like the new , bitchy maddog1 (rather than ms.nice that I usually am- I should start a thread on that , but I bet it's been done) opinions?

Your friend is married and it's been a decade since she's dated the ex, who remains a friend. WHO CARES? There is no reason NOT to date him unless the idea that he might have had sex with one of your friends skeeves you out that much. Honestly, I'd love to set some of my exes up with my single friends whom they are more compatible with.

I would think it depends on how serious she was about this guy. Just because she's married now doesn't mean she would be ok with you dating him. If you care about how she feels, you should talk to her about it first. If you don't care, just do what you want.

I think if she is married she doesn't have any veto rights over the situation.

That doesn't mean your friend will act the way you want her to.

She wouldn't have "veto rights" regardless, but I'm just saying if the OP is concerned at all about her friend's feelings, she should talk to her first.

I could have sex with a friends ex, but never date. That's crossing the line IMO
