Dating your ex boyfriend's good friend

Am I allowed to do this or is there some rule against it? I know I would never date any of my friend's exboyfriends but if my exboyfriend's friend wants to start something with me should I let him? We went out for sushi and then to a martini bar the other night and causally kissed. He just called and asked me if I want to go to dinner again next week. I really want to go, but don't want any hard feelings between him and my ex boyfriend.
Is it wrong to date him? I have had a crush on him since high school and he is smart, funny, owns his own company, a condo in Laguana Beach and loves to camp, kayak, go to vegas and ride quads. We always have so much to talk about.
Can I do it or is it too fucked up?

 

The onus of morality here rides on the guy.

 

By the way his friend and I were only together for two months and he only got upset about me breaking things off with him after he recently found out I lost a lot of weight. He is not a jerk but he did not try hard enough for me and drank and did coke and had a bmw instead of a dick so I just stopped returning his calls. He also told his roomate I gave him head (it was true but tacky to tell) so I feel like since he's insensitive I don't have to be sensitive.
OK so there's the whole story give me the verdict!

 

That's what I am thinking. thanks!

ya know when I read your sig I immediatley thought of marc jacobs and was cracking up but I am thinking now you mean your sack of whatever; not prada.

 

I don't have the slightest idea who Marc Jacobs is.

And the sig comes from a bunch of us at a bar called Sargents a couple thursdays ago... I was trying to convince the waitress, who I've partied with, to bring me a free Jagerbomb. She said only if she could cop a feel... So i yelled it out and dropped the belt.

 

you should be ashamed of yourself, he is only the greatest designer on earth for both casual wear and bags. His evening clothing line is a little out there for me...both in style and price.

funny story by the way...you should morph into a woman with large breasts, you will save a lot of money on nessecities, like jaegerbombs

 

Nah. I remain utterly convinced that life as a woman is maybe a tenth as fun as life as man.

 

Do it. Go and enjoy yourself. If you are finding happieness and you like his company then I'd do it.

It could lead to something awesome.

 

I have a couple years left before I have to make the jump from comfortable clothes to suits. One last year of uni, plus one backpacking Asia next year. I'll just find a girl to pick out suits when I start Lawschool after that.

 

Thank you! I now know it's the okay thing to do...which is good because I already said yes to him before I made this thread d: hah...I'm a bad girl

 

personal shoppers are usually complimentary in the suit department...the girls are really hot (I know I used to be one d: ) and you don't have to buy them stuff for shopping with you like you would a girlfriend.

 

since when to guys "have" to buy them stuff for shopping with 'em? Cali sounds like a crazy fucked up place sometimes.

anyways. How long ago did you guys date? Does the ex know you two are gonna be dating?
Really it's something for the two of them to worry about.

 

guys are weird, especially old ones. It's like they get turned on by it the trying it on for them and all that weird crap. Some guys just get off on spending money on girls...I have actually seen my ex fiance get wood at the register. I'm not into it with anyone besides him who I was with for several years and we lived together so all was comfy.
When I reunited with an ex in august he actually asked if I wanted to go to Macys in san francisco and told me his card limit as to imply major shopping...I felt like a total prostitute and was super insulted by his offer even though I am sure he was trying to be genuine. Most guys I'm like alright check out the electronics while I run in the gap and we'll meet back. I hate hate hate clothes shopping for me with guys but a lot of my friends dig it...I think it shows mad insecurity when guys do that if you barley know them...huge turn off for me.
