Life is never black and white and there is no hard and fast rule that says you can never date a friends ex. Be thoughtful and considerate of their feelings and be as transparent as possible when discussing your desire to date that special person.

Is it OK to date your best friends ex boyfriend?

If your friend did the breaking up, its more socially acceptable to date your friends ex. Under all circumstances, it would be a nice idea to just ask your friend politely if he or she is okay with it. Things get more difficult when its your friend who got dumped.
