Your best friend has been going out with this guy, but things didn't turn out so good and they broke up. They have broken up for about a few weeks or a month now, is it ok for you to go out with him?

No. I strongly feel that no matter the situation, how long they have not been together i think that it would be wrong for the individual to go out with their friends ex. I think it just comes down to loyalty

But what if your best friend is already going out with another person and they are happy in that relationship, wouldn't it be ok then?

I think this is a tricky because - We all know ' The rules' about best friends ex and stuff and I'm sure as a general rule most of us won't go for out best friends ex.
But obviously in this situation theres a bit of a dilema because the said girl obviously likes this boy enough to be considering it and is loyal enough to her friend to feel bad.
so lol i don't think its a yes or no answer

Bim- yeh i understand what you are saying totally, this would still be an issue though yes she may have moved on but wahat if she sees her friend with her ex and she falls back in love again? that would be an absoulute nightmare lol

Well.... i think that the fact that the friend has waited for her best friend to be happy again before even considering anything is considerate, but then again i do agree with "the rule", it just doesn't seem right to do such a thing. But in some situations it could be genuine love that the friend has for the guy and his previous history with her best friend should not get in the way of that.

seun- what r u talking about loool..... nah im joking i dnt think loyalty and feelings have anything in common to a certain extent. i believe she would have to feel bad regardless just for the simple fact that they are friends other wise if she didnt feel bad then they wer probably not that good of friends in the first place
