Thanks for your insight Tatami. I do believe we are in different situations because I didn't tell my friend about it... I'll just take a leap of faith and just try to stop this. Thanks for your opinion peeps!
I think the OP isn't in the same situation as I was.
To echo the other sentiments, when I said "it depends," I meant I did not risk my best friend in the process. If you would and are actually considering it, either you aren't as close as you thought or you're a pretty bad friend.
is this the sort of question where you know it's a bad idea but you're looking for someone to give you the go ahead because you've already kind of decided to do it?
why would you even consider this? Are you willing to risk losing your best friend for his/her ex? If you are, then go for it. If you don't want to risk losing your best bf, then avoid the recent ex of your best friend. Your CHOICE.
My current girlfriend (~4 months) is my best friend's ex, I would say it really just depends on how okay with it they are.
My best friend was really encouraging of it. They broke up after realizing they weren't a good match and when he realized we were he was pretty enthusiastic.
It's a bit harder on her end where she doesn't really like me to bring him up, which is kind of hard when he's my best friend.
