Do you find this acceptable? I really don't. Especially if you live in a large city. I know it can kinda be an issue in a really small town but I still think you should avoid dating anyone in the close circle. What do you think?
do you realize how easy it is to run into the same people over and over even in a large city?
I met one guy when I first moved to Chicago two years ago. About two months ago I met another guy. Second guy's roommate is actually friends with the first guy I met.
Then there's also the story of this other guy that I met who was "in love" with this girl who was spending a year in Korea. turns out my best friend here in Chicago wound up rooming with the Korea girl.
No No No If your friend had any feelings for a person at one time, it would be an uncaring and selfish move to date them.
Once I was worried that a girlfriend of mine would date an ex that I loved as he was hitting on her and I said something about it to another friend and she asked me if I would want to stand in the way of true love. And, wouldn't I be happy if they both found happiness with each other. I say heck yes and heck no! They both could find happiness with someone with which I didn't have a previous relationship.
Fortunately, my girlfriend knew I had feelings and denied him.
You know, people are too caught up with what others will think and what's "right", then they neglect their own happieness. This person is your "ex" for a reason. If you have a connection with a friend of your ex, you should go for it. You never know, you may be passing on a great relationship.
This type of thing never stopped me in my life. If I was attracted to someone who was friends of my ex, I'd go for it! What I would NOT do is date an ex of my friends IF they still have feelings for them, but if they don't, then it's a fair game as well...such as dating friends of "ex".
Folks, it's life, it's not easy to find a real connection with someone and passing on it just for what seems silly reasons is well...silly.
