Is It Wrong To Date Your Friends Ex?

Ok, my friend went out with this boy in 5th grade we are now 9th graders and we still talk to him. Well i call him one date because i wanted to see how he was doing and we just got to talking for like 2 hours. And after that we talked ever day. Well a few days ago he told me he like me and i kinda feared this would happen and i like him to because he makes me laugh and we can just talk and talk. But right now im trying to push him away because i dont want us to get involved. I told him that since he dated her i dont think we should date and he said it was 4years ago so why should it matter. I kinda been mean to him but he still talks to me. I havent told my friend yet because im afraid of what she might say. But if you have a suggestion please post.Is It Wrong To Date Your Friends Ex?
while in some cases dating a friend's ex is wrong, in your case i don't see it as a problem. i agree that since it's been 4 years that it doesn't really matter, but still, talk to you friend and see exactly where she stands with this boy. let her know that you like him. it may seem harder to do but it would be better to talk. i know, i've been in the same situation as you are and i explained to my friend how i felt. she understood and said she hoped i was happy. i hope that helps you.Is It Wrong To Date Your Friends Ex?
IMO, i think it's wrong to date your friend's ex- but then again this situation is different- since when your friend dated him- they were like 10/11- when relationships aren't that serious. maybe you can discreetly fish around for what your friend who think/do about this situation.
Tell your friend, and see if she cares. If she's over him and she doesn't care, then tell the guy it's okay. Explain to your friend what happened between you and the guy lately, and hopefully she'll understand. Don't be afraid to do anything. It just means your backing down, and it'll make everything harder. Good luck. =]
