Should I get involved knowing I am second choice, to my best mate?

Question - (6 January 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 6 January 2011)
A male United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

My friend and I were mates for years,we did everything together. We were inseparable, that is until a woman came between us. He and she became a couple, and we drifted apart, although staying in touch and the odd lads night out. Years after things went sour between those two, and it ended between them. I recently bumped into this woman and had the usual, 'hi, how you doing?' chat and said our goodbyes. Some how she has managed to find out where i live and showed up on a few occasions and made it pretty clear what she wants. Would you get involved knowing that you were second choice to your best mate, and must be desperate if you accept her offer?

I dont think you are second choice, as they seemed to have parted ways on their own accord and then it was only by chance you bumped into her recently.

However, this is quite a messy situation. Even though you and your friend are not as close, there is still that unwritten rule where it is expected that you do NOT date a friends ex. Even if he has no feelings for her anymore, he wont be pleased with you for seeing her.

There are so many women out there, why not date one of them instead of a mates ex?
