Dating a friend’s ex is one of the biggest taboos, but what about dating your ex boyfriend’s friend? You know that you want to be with him but you’re not sure how to go about it, how it’s possible to have a normal relationship. If you want to date your ex boyfriend’s friend but you don’t know how, take a look at the suggestions below.Wait To Go PublicEven if you have been engaging in a secret affair with your ex boyfriend’s friend, give it some time after the breakup before you go public. Particularly if you broke up with him he is probably hurting, and dating one of his friends will be a low blow. That means that you shouldn‘t hang out with mutual friends as a couple because word will always get around.Don’t Rub It InOnce your ex boyfriend finds out that you are dating his friend, don’t rub it in his face. Don’t post a ton of photos on your Facebook or MySpace page because you know your ex is going to see those pictures. Don’t go somewhere as a couple that you know your ex is going to be, and definitely don’t go to his place or work or an area that you know is his turf. Don’t Interfere With Their FriendshipIt might sound silly to not interfere with your ex boyfriend and your new boyfriend’s friendship because you have already interfered by dating his friend, but don’t try to break up their friendship. It might feel weird for you if the two of them are friends but they were friends before you came along. Don’t talk smack about your ex to your new boyfriend, or vise versa. Don’t try to create any further tension between the two of them. Don’t CompareOne of the worst things you can do to your current relationship is compare him with your ex. It’s hurtful to compare your boyfriend to any ex but it makes it that much worse when your boyfriend actually knows your ex and hangs out with him on a regular basis. It’s bad enough that your boyfriend knows you have probably slept with his friend, so don’t make it any worse. Don’t Reminisce Too MuchYou probably had some great memories with your ex boyfriend but your current boyfriend does not want to know the vivid details of your relationship with his friend. No matter how much he says that the situation does not bother him, he does not want to think about you with his friend more than he already does.

My present boyfriend was friends with my ex, but my ex guy moved out of state, so we haven't had too many issues over it.
