"If Your Friend Is Totally Over His Ex, Has No Romantic Feelings For
Him/Her, And Wouldn't Mind Being Around The Two Of You Socially, That
Could Work," Muses Nina Atwood, Author Of "Temptations Of The Single
Girl." "But Look At All The Conditions That Have To Be Met! The
Reality Is That It's Just Too Weird And Uncomfortable For Most People
To Want To Deal With."
The Only Time It Might Be Okay Is If Your Friend Has Moved On To
Another Relationship," She Says, "Even If The Two Of Them Have Split,
Emotions Take A While To Heal, So It's Unlikely That The Friend Is
Going To Be Okay With It."
But Not All Relationship Experts See It This Way. "It's Ok To Move In
If They Are Estranged And No Longer In LOVE And Divorcing," Says
Matchmaker Marla Martenson. "You Never Know Where You Will Find Love.
It Could Be Right Under Your Nose, And Circumstances Have To Shift For
Things To Evolve." As Martenson Point Out, "It's A Delicate
Situation, But Why Let A Potential Love Match Get Away? If It's A
Great Match, It's A Great Match•"
Still, It's Best To Proceed With Caution. "Letting Things Dissipate A
Bit" Before Making Your Move. If You Do Decide To Pursue A Friend's
Ex, Be Prepared For The Potential For Some Major Fall-Out. "You Should
Avoid This Whole Scenario Unless You Feel Very Strongly That Your
Friend's Ex Is Your Ultimate Soul Mate, "Says Atwood. "If You Decide
To Pursue The Ex, You Should Be Prepared To Lose Friendship. "Most
People Are Highly Uncomfortable With These Situations, So It's Best To
Look For Love Somewhere Else•"
