+122 The girl rule that says *a friend may only date another friend's ex boyfriend if said friend has permission* should be followed at all times, amirite?

The bro code has a similar commandment

It depends on why you're interested in him. If you're just bored and want a boyfriend, and your friend isn't okay with it, you should look for someone else, but if you actually have a real interest in him, you don't need anyone's permission.

I would never date one of my friends ex's anyway... 1) sloppy seconds 2) it's kinda...incesty

It truly does depend on the circumstances. Did your friend breakup with him? And if so, why did she? Are you really in love with him? Are they totally against it? How close of a friend are they? Idk those are things I'd think about.

I don't think you have to have permission but I think it's considerate to talk to them about it before you do it. If nothing else hopefully she'll feel better finding out from you than through the grapevine. Plus, it might be nice to hear from her about what went wrong in their relationship. If she told me that he cheated or was emotionally abusive or something then I might reconsider dating him.
