Is it okay to like a guy your friend use to have a huge crush on?

Ask your friend if she would mind if you dated him.  If she says it's okay with her, then you're in the clear.\n\nI had the same thing happen when I was in high school.  My best friend liked a boy.  Then I went away for the summer.  When I came back, she didn't like him, but I did.  She was TOTALLY cool with me dating him.  \n\nIf she didn't want me to date him, I wouldn't have.  She is more important to me than any guy could be.\n\nThat was so long ago!  That boy and I dated for a long time, but eventually broke up.  She and I are still best friends and we're now 30!!!

Going after a guy that your friend has dated is always tough. It depends on how their relationship ended and whether your feelings for him are strong. I am currently very interested in my ex-best friend's ex-boyfriend. WE stoped being friends when she found out that I liked him. But I couldn't help how I felt, he's different than any other guy. If you feel like he's special and you could be avoiding something that could be really great for both of you, don't. Go for it, if your friend really cares about you she'll want you to be happy. Best of Luck!

It depends on how serious they were...If she was really into him, and is still hurting from the relationship, then obviously, No. But if they have moved on and have remained friends, and can look back at their relationship and laugh, then Yes. I was in that situation and my friend actually suggested that I get with her ex, because it was so obvious that we had chemistry. Sometimes girls fall so hard for guys that we become blind to others feelings though, so make SURE your friend is okay with it. But even if she isn't, if it's meant to be with the guy, it will be.

It's ok to have a crush on someone older than you, I was a sophomore when I met my bf (who was in 8th grade) and it always feels like we're the same age.  But you should be careful, some boys can be real jerks, especially high school boys. so just don't let your guard down :)

I think you like him more than a friend too. I have rather recently started a relationship, and all I ever think about is her! I hope you are as happy in your thoughts as I am in mine.

Well, if he can't get over his ex, then he obviously still has feeling for her.  It's definitely not a good idea to get with someone in that situation.  You really can't do anything about that situation, because that's his problem, not yours.  You and your friend probably will have to wait for that situation to die down if either of you want to make a move on him.  \n\nBetween the two of you, you need to be honest with your friend about your feelings.  It's only fair that both of you know what's going on before mixed feelings comes up if either of you hook up with that guy.\n\nGood luck!

Well it depends, does your friend know you have a crush on that guy? If she does, that's fucked up what she's doing. Well if she doesn't know then tell her and tell her that you don't appreciate her flirting with him. Also ask her if she likes him. If she does, don't ever let a guy come in between you and your friend,cuz friendship is more valuable than a guy, I can guarantee you that!!!\n\nGood Luck

I'd say it's fine, however he may change his opinion from friend to romantic interest depending on how he already feels

ask her. do not tell her that you like him when you ask though. kinda get a feeling for what she feels for him. If she likes him, than you might want to cool off a little bit. in HS my friend and i liked the same guy. he asked me out and i accepted. That really did hurt my friend. I decide not to go out with him because she met more to me.

So he thinks you're weird. That's one guy out of how many? Don't be bummed out about it. And don't go chaning yourself over some guy that you used to like! Someday someone will love you for who you are. Don't get upset over what some crush from the past has to say! They're in the past. Leave them there and move on! : )

first of all figure out if he is even worth your time and energy,, make sure you really like him... also you haven't even started off right... you lost a friend for this guy and you don't even know if he likes you... what would be the right thing to do is apologize with your friend and try to get back together and even if your friend says anything about yeah u better cause its all your fault or he's mine deal.. shruggle it off because its not worth another fight... also if your friend stopped being your friend because you guys like the same guy then maybe you should think about if your friend was really ever your friend... but if you really like this guy then i say go for it... but dont do anything you will regret

If you like him and he likes you then its ok to get to know each other and be boyfriend/girlfriend!  But remember to take things very very slowly and never let a boy pressure you into doing anything u r not ready for!!!  As long as he doesnt care that his friend use to be your boyfriend and u dont care then it should be just fine!!!  TAKE THINGS SLOW!!!

If he's your best guy friend ... you already know you like each other.  It's workin' out just great the way they are.  Don't rush it.  Things will take care of themselves.

Well I'd say ask him. But keep in mind that if he's not interested it may hurt your friendship. I had a friend that end up liking me and after he told me I felt so uncomfortable around him.  So your taking a chance but I think if you don't, you'll probably regret it forever. GOOD LUCK!!

If you and your best friend likes him then he should automatically be off limits to both of you. You don't want your friendship to be ruined over some guy. There are plenty other guys that you will like.....don't risk your friendship

Yes*\nAnd he turned out to be the love of my life. AND I later found out that 'the friend' was not really a friend at all.  \nHowever, the rule of thumb is, if your best friend likes them, 'their off limits' until either they break up or she moves on. And even then, your supposed to ask your friend if its ok to make a play for that special hottie
