Celebrity "friends" seem to end up swapping mates within their circle all the time. Would you ever date your friend's ex (either boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse)??

I would never! And people who voted 'depending on the circumstances', aren't REAL friends! It's not even worth losing a friendship over a stupid man...

"And people who voted 'depending on the circumstances', aren't REAL friends! It's not even worth losing a friendship over a stupid man..."
so not true.
I have REALLY CLOSE friends, and friends...
REALLY CLOSE FRIENDS are a definite not okay.
friends... I'll have to ask them about it.. and even then I'd probably still feel guilty.. but if I truly liked the guy, and the friend wasn't okay with it.. I'd most likely break it off..
but I guess I won't know t ill I'm in the situation.

One of my friends dated my current boyfriend for maybe 3 months. Then she cheated on him on a spring break trip. I have been with him now for 4 years and we are still friends. I didn't feel bad about it because we weren't best friends and she had gone after several guys I really liked before. Plus, they were never serious. In these circumstances I thought it was ok. i wouldn't have done something like that to a close friend, though now we actually are pretty close.

I would never EVER date one of my friends ex's which I find humorous because my best friend married my ex!

Well, my friends don't do serious relatinoships and I do. So if it's something like she used him or she got bored and wouldn't mind, yeah. She isn't very deep and her newest bf is NOT someone I would date anyway.

However if she was like in love with him and I just had a silly little crush, than heck noo.

That happened to me. I felt weird telling her that she couldnt so i pretended that its cool. It ruined our friendship.

Of all my friends who have dated their friends' exes, most ended up not being friends anymore. But all of this happened because it was done behind each other's backs. I feel that if you're a true friend, you'll be honest about having feelings for a friend's ex before doing anything. And if it's not cool, then back away. Chicks before dicks!!

I dated my friend's ex and we're still really good friends. I've also had friends who have dated my exes. If it's only "dating" and it's nothing serious then it doesn't really matter in my
opinion. 
But I can see how how people would get mad. I would never date someone that a
friend was serious about or used to be in love with.

I did once ... and never again. I even had her "permission" beforehand ... but she got jealous and really resentful a few months later. It ended up breaking me and the guy up as well as ending the friendship. We didn't have a big argument and quit being friends right then and there ... but our friendship slowly died anyway.

I can't think of a circumstance when I would ever think it right to date a friends ex. Unless I wanted her to be my ex-friend.

It depends on how close the friend is and how seriously they dated. If she didn't really see him as a boyfriend and has been pretty laid-back on dating in the past, I'd do it. Otherwise, just leave it alone - there'll always be men, but great girlfriends are hard to come by.

I really really doubt it.
