I can only think of one guy that I would even think about passing off! The rest I would be ashamed to pass on to someone else. lol

o no no no no no no no no no no no no no way.
then again if ur talking about the boyfriends i had from 2nd grade thru junior high, yea anyone can have them high school and college..no no no no o and yea..NO.

I wouldn't wish my friends on my exes or my exes on my friends, I just can't imagine any of them getting along in a romantic context

Not technicaly an ex, but a guy I went on a few dates with and kissed a few times (terrible kisser!). I introduced him to my friend a few years later and they've been together over a year...

god no
like marni said, maybe a guy who i dated way long ago in elementary or secondary school and who i am friends with years later, but not like a recent ex

No i dont think I have.
I probably would not be able to handle it.

No way.

This is like getting it on with a co worker bad idea!

Getting it on with a coworker isn't ALWAYS a bad idea, there are certainly exceptions to any rule.

In regards to the question, I answered Yes and it worked! - even though I'm currently in the process of doing this and hoping it works out! My ex is a fantastic guy who just didn't have the strong personality it takes to handle my crazy self and I have a feeling he and one of my sweet friends from back in H.S. would be perfect so I'm encouraging/doing some behind the scenes coaching of him to go after her!

He needs a good girl in his life!

Never done it, but I would. I'm amicable with all of my exes and so I'd be more than happy to set them up with a g/f if I ever had any that were cute and single.

HAHAHAHA no, but I passed my ex-husband off to someone I couldn't stand, does that count? LOL

I wouldn't date my ex's friend. I considered it long enough to believe it's not a good idea. That and he turned out to be a BIG jerk! so the decision would have made itself

I always thought it was a bad idea, until my bestie set me up with her ex. (She had to get me pretty liquored up to agree!) Neither of us were looking for anything serious at the time, but he and I definitely became friends, and still talk pretty frequently. I'd say it worked out.

Now... to date a friend's ex. Not possible. My closest friends are my cousins and sisters. That's gross. And the other women I know date men I wouldn't. So still no.

One time in high school my friend and I dated the same guy. Nothing horrible happened but nothing great either.

I wouldn't be happy if a friend dated my exes, and I wouldn't date any of theirs either.

Tried it didn't work. I don't think I'd ever be able to do it with my current love.

I didn't necessarily pass him off to my friends, but he did try and date my friends as soon as we broke up....I think he was just trying to make me mad though, it didn't last.

Absolutely not.

I did once, after a stormy, frequently violent and volatile relationship, and it worked pretty well. Of course, my ex and I had to come to an understanding about what our new relationship would now be (just friends), but now we all hang out and have a real blast together. Of course, after I dropped the restraining order.

When I was in middle school I would go on blind dates to the skating rink and if I thought the guy was ugly I would pass him off to my friend lol. But now I would never pass an ex onto a friend. My exes are all @$$hats.

LOL @ @$$hats!

I'd never intentionally pass a boyfriend along but in high school my current bff (former nemesis, lol) and I dated the same guy off and on. We HATED each other for it but we both eventually dropped him and became best friends

I only have 1 ex (in terms of a serious relationship) and our relationship ended badly so there's no way I would ever set him up with anyone I know. Heck, I feel bad for the girl he's dating now... she doesn't know what she's in for.

i've done this before and it's never been a bad thing. the funniest thing though is when i pimped out a friend in order to get something from my ex (i.e a phone number of his best friend). it's sad that i had to go to that length, but i figured that if i knew that my ex liked one of my friends, and that i could get the number that i wanted - then there was nothing wrong with that right?

It is never OK

it depends if its a close friend or not, never in a million years would i pass up an ex i was in love with to a close friend i don't think it would do yours and your friends relationship any good , but if you only went out for a while and have absolutely no feelings for them but think they would be good with a friend then i think it might be ok...unless they still have feelings for you...

I did that once. It was years after we'd been a couple, and she was a new-ish work friend. They met, had an intense chemistry, dated and you-know-what for about 2 months and then pffffft! He vanished. She never left me alone about him after that, calling me more and more, trying to find out if I'd heard from him, etc. etc. It wasn't worth it and I'd never do it again.

I've done it twice.

one time it didn't work out but they ended on friendly terms.

and the other time worked out perfectly, they have a 1 yr old baby together!

If I thought it would work, I would not mind.

But I do recall a guy (he was about 28) I dated about three years ago who was very charming but had NO balls whatsoever. Just really afraid of the world but good at hiding it, even from himself.

When a mutual friend began to fall for him (She's Greek - really outspoken and charming but wants a "manly man"....also a single mom, 34, lovely person) she asked how I felt since she knew he and I had dated previously.

I just told her - gently - that I was totally over him but to be careful. That as an adult, and a parent, I thought he would hardly meet up with what she wanted, that he wasn't unkind but he was a total wuss and that he will play mind games to protect himself.

I meant every word I said, and sadly he did begin to behave just as I worried he might - and luckily she saw my words at face value and moved on quickly.

If an ex was suitable, I'd say so to the right friend. But usually my ex's were exes for a reason, and I would never put a friend into shoes I would not want to fill myself. My other best female friend is married, and happily so, so that wouldn't apply anyway!

I think I would be fine now that it's been a year since we stopped dating, but if it happened right after we broke up, it would hurt. However, I am currently with an ex's friend, so I can't say I would never allow it.

I did this once...I broke up with an incredibly sweet guy, and about a year later, my best friend told me that they had feelings for each other & wanted to get my approval before dating, since we were all good friends. I thought it was cool of them to include me in their decision and make me feel loved, important, all that jazz, and really what was I supposed to say? It had been a year and we were over each other...but my best friend (who isn't anymore) got really insecure and jealous, and started telling my ex/her current all kinds of things I'd confided in her, as well as making up mean lies about me to make sure he couldn't possibly start liking me again. The breakup with her that followed when I found out was worse than any breakup with any guy I've ever gone through.

no way

Sort of an unwritten rule of friendship - don't date each others exs. I would go a step further and say steer clear of your exs friends, too, except for certain situations - i.e. I went out with a guy for 8 months, we broke up and I became friends with someone I met through him. My ex and the friend stopped hanging out and two years later I got together with said friend. I think it's ok when two people stop being friends to date someone your ex knows. But if theres any chance of seeing your ex on a regular basis because of it, then no way.
