Would You Put the Moves on a Friend’s Ex?

So you’ve fallen for a great guy — yay! Only problem? A friend of yours has already dated him. But being the good friend you are, you put your animal urges aside, convince yourself that you’re crazy, and try to find a guy who’s better.

So is it ever OK to move in on a friend’s former flame? Does it matter whether she was serious with him, or if it was just a fling? Is it cheating that you’ve already heard he’s great in bed? We asked our ever-so-loyal girlfriends to weigh in:

Yes!
“I hooked up with my friend’s crush,” said Sasha, 24. “They were never boyfriend-girlfriend and even though she really liked him, all that ever came of it were make-out sessions.

“The guy and I had always been friends and she was away at college while I had stayed in touch and hung out with him occasionally. Then one drunken night, one thing led to another and it just happened. It was fun and then it was over. It wasn’t something that I had planned.”

Never!
“I’m gonna have to say no,” said Tara, 25. “I guess it’s hard to generalize because you have to factor in how good a friend this person was or is, but if we’re talking best friends, definitely not OK to do! If it happens, all parties will have to deal with the consequences. It’s just not a boundary that should be crossed. I think it’s disrespectful and uncomfortable and ultimately and most importantly runs the risk of ruining your friendship.”

While we don’t condone hooking up with your best friend’s former boyfriends, we can understand where the line can become a little fuzzy, especially if you have one of those friends who considers every dude she’s made out with — which happens to be half the town — her ‘ex’ of some sort.

So tell us: Would you ever move in on your best friend’s ex? Has it ever happened to you?
