Would you date someone who had previously dated one of your friends?

Yes! I'm perfectly happy to date my friend's exes. They're exes for a reason.
No! It's too incestuous. I don't feel comfortable dating a friend's ex.
Maybe Yes: I haven't had the opportunity, but I don't see a problem with it.
Maybe No: I haven't done it, but I don't think I would.

FWB mad because I found a real boyfriend. How do I get him to leave me be?
I dated this guy and from the beginning we both had different views on what we wanted. I was looking for something along the lines of a relationship and he wanted us to be friends for awhile before the word relationship came into play. So at the beginning I went along with him and let him know that my options were still open to other guys, and basically no boundaries were set. We probably dated for 2 and a half months until I met my boyfriend or potential boyfriend (pb) at the time. When I met my PB, he was everything the old guy wasn't. He wanted to date and he actually pursued me because I wasn't interested at first, but he won me over. I gradually pulled away from my old guy because I knew at the end of the day we wanted different things (and I wasn't about to sit there and wait for him). Now that I'm finally happy in a relationship, the old guy keeps calling me and thinks can come back into my life like nothing has changed. He's (old guy) mad because I got into a relationship. I actually think he thought I was going to be his friend forever. I've told him I'm happy and my new boyfriend is getting upset because he's calling at all hours of the night. How do I resolve this so he (old guy) can leave me alone for good?

If old boyfriend won't listen to you tell him that you don't want the same things out of life, you can tell him what he REALLY needs to hear: he shouldn't have been so afraid to jump into a relationship. His hesitation made him lose you. You, and most women, can't afford to wait so long.

Maybe if you say this in a certain way, he will take this experience for what it is: a difficult must necessary lesson.

It could be one of two things. This guy (old guy) obviously still has feelings for you and has a hard time letting go or he wants to test you and see if you'll cheat on your boyfriend. Either way it's not worth your time.

Even though you and "old guy" did agree to disagree he probably never thought you'd be the first to leave out the friendship. And since you did; he truly is wondering how could you? and why? His ego is a little bruised, this situation may not have happened to him a lot or a little too often.

As a good girlfriend, you have to protect what's near and dear to you, your relationship. Since you are happy in it, you need to let him know that he has no place calling you, especially all hours of the night (DON'T ANSWER). Next time he calls you, (in the day)tell him how you feel. Just make it a bittersweet goodbye. Tell him you kept your side of the deal (agreement) and now he has to do the same. He has to be a man and accept defeat.
