In reference to the original thread topic.. for me it comes down to self respect.. I could not bring myself to ever hit on a good friends ex, no matter the time passed. If it was someone that they went on a date with once back in the 80's, that is different, but i would still be respectful of my friend. If it was someone that they were serious about, cried on my shoulder about, not happening. They are off limits. Further to that, I have a personal rule for myself, that I stick to, and it is that i will never sit at a party with my mate and have been with any of their friends. To me, it just lacks class. Yes it happens for some, small circles of friends, our population only being 11% ish.. but id rather be single if that was the only other option. It is not so much femme code for me, as I find it rarely exists in its intended purpose but rather when it suits one party or another. I have found even a few times here that I would be talking to someone, to find out that they are also talking to a friend of mine, and I back off, I just cant do that to my friend.
As to the other topic, I have always jokingly said... after a respectable amount of time has passed.. please by all means, date, find happy, that would make me very happy to know that you are not sitting there alone thinking i would not approve. But .. you now know what happy feels like, dont settle for anything less... and if you start dating while my grave is still warm.. ill curse you to life of shitty sex and haunt your sorry disrespecting ass....
