Dating Tips. Should you date a friend’s ex

Love is crazy some times

By Aderah Karugaba

 Is it the ultimate girl crime or can it be justified?

 Yes

We have all had that stomach flutter when your best pal introduces her new man who you can’t help but notice is very attractive.

So what happens when their romance crushes and burns but your flutter doesn’t go away. Should you curse your awful heart and embark on a life of spinsterhood or mourning what could have been.

Dating, give me a break ladies…..It is one thing spending your life hopelessly searching for a non-existent Mr. Perfect, and another torturing yourself because you have met him but aren’t allowed to go there.

Whether it was a longtime relationship or a one night stand as commonly termed. Sometimes rules have to be broken in a relationship, after all your friend and her Ex were never married so he didn’t belong to her.

I remember one day, a classmate having told me how she fancied and dated her best friend’s ex.

The truth was seeing them together for those four months, they really burnt a hole in her stomach. She always had a connection with him and believe me, six years on, my classmate is happily in love and she still keeps her best friend.

  • Sometimes it's normal to become interested in a person you spend a lot of time with.what you have to sort out is whether it's the person that you could long for even if you were not so close to each other.
