I think there isn't really a yes or no answer to this sort of question. In my opinion it's ok to be with a friends' ex as long as they give you permission for it. This happened with me and I'm now going out with a friends' ex because she was generally ok with it though i still feel a little guilty. Also i think it depends on how close you are to the friend~ It would be worse if your friend was one of your closest and as someone else wrote your friendship could be ruined (luckily i'm still friends with my friend and it all seems to be ok). I think it would also depend on how the situation is with the friend and the ex as well as if they are into anyone else. In your situation though, as you've already said your friend won't let you, then you should try and get over him, and as the first poster said she might not care in the future and let you be with him.Good Luck :)

yep, usually, and your friends are the ones who listen to you and help you get over it when it all goes wrong with a boy, remember that too :)

this will hurt your friend and rightly or wrongly she is forbidding you from being with him. an uwritten rule in dating is 'your friends ex - don't go there'
is she a friend who you don't want to lose? coz that will happen (or at least she won't trust you the same again) if you get with this lad.
how would you feel if you got with him and he went out with you for a couple of months and then you broke up, in the meantime you have lost your friend.
my advice is get over him, there are plenty more lads you could go out with but GOOD friends are not that easy to find. give her a bit longer to get over him, she lost her virginity to him and they have only been broke up for 8 weeks, in the future she may not care and tell you that you are welcome to him
