I went out with my friend's brother briefly when I was younger (I am in my late 40s now) and I think she wasn't happy about it. The relationship didn't last long and it wrecked our friendship for a while. However once we became friendly again she would always tell me what he was doing with his life when she met up with me (and apparently used to tell him the same about me). Apart from one night when he tried to get together with me 9 months later and came to look for me 3 years later (nothing further happened). We became friends on facebook and obviously comment on each other's statuses and he has now moved up to within 8 miles of where I live (as a half way house to be with his girlfriend). Admittedly his sister doesn't talk openly about him as she used to and I sense she isn't happy that we are friends on facebook but we have not seen each other in person since the night he turned up to see me and there is no reason for us to meet up.Is anyone else still friendly with their friend's brother/sister after dating, do you ever see that ex boyfriend/girlfriend when you see your friend and how do you feel around them.

 I don't see what her problem is, you are all adults, why would she be annoyed if you both dated? It really is none off her business. I met my fiance through his sister as I was her friend. She is happy for us both she is actually our bridesmaid so no I really don't see why she has an issue.

Well, I dated my brother's best friend - does that count?
He is the only ex-boyfriend that I still consider to be a "friend" but I use that term loosely because he's more of an acquaintance now. We live in different countries and have done for years. I only get to catch up with him when we both go back to our "home country" to visit our respective parents who remain good friends. If my brother or my parents have seen him they will usually fill me in on how/what he's doing. (I expect they fill him in about me too if he asks). We're not friends on facebook (neither of us use it).
I don't feel uncomfortable around him or any of his family members. (Although it was a bit weird for some family members when we started dating and a little bit awkward when we first broke up but no lasting effects)
To be honest, it was so long ago now I have to remind myself that I ever dated him. I can't understand what I saw in him! Don't get me wrong - he's a really great guy - I just don't fancy him any more!
