Oy. Bugger.

Bro law, bro. Thou shall not date ones friends ex.

Bros before Hoes.

But then...

Bro law doesn't always apply, and bros should understand about hoes when it comes up. And it only matters if you are good/best friends with him. Shit. Depends on the situation. Good luck.

My friend and his girlfriend broke up (high school) Now SHE IS GETTING INTO ME and she is really cool in my opionion. The problem is I don't know what to do. Right know I am playing it safe and just stepping back contemplating the Bros before Hoes expression. Any input on the subject I am just looking for different views any help or criticism is much appreciated.

Edit: They have been serious for about year now.
If shes IN YOU I think its a little late for dating...

The Bro Code

Article 1
Bros before Hoes.
The bond between two men is stronger than the bond between a man and a woman because, on average, men are stronger than women. That's just science.

Article 87
Never sleep with your friends ex.

You can not defy the bro code bro. Let the skank go. That or try to find a instance where said bro has violated the bro code thus is no longer protected.
Can you explain why can't you date a friend's ex?

How long ago did they break up?
I don't know your friend but I think he might deserve to be talked-to about this. Ask him how he'd feel, and all that. Communication is vital to a relationship after all.

According to the Man code, you are required to ask him if it's ok for you to date her, and he is required to say that it is.

Depends how long they were going out for, if they were going out for a while and then you've gotten with her recently after then expect her to break up with you shortly after cause chances are she will miss her ex. If they were a one week relationship sort then you should be fine. But to be honest, I would never go for a friends ex, not because of morals but because whatever problems your friend had with her are now your problems, she could've cheated on him, she'll now cheat on you, she's a compulsive liar, you see where I'm going with this.

It's less a moral thing and more a common sense thing.

EDIT: Saw you put they've been serious for a year. A year is a long time. How long after they broke up did you get with her? And how long have you two been going out for? My original point stands though, and now I know it's a year she will start to miss him eventualy, so be prepared for that, or you could've not got involved in the first place.

Seriously. Kill yourself.
This brocode stuff was mildly amusing twenty years ago. Now its just played out and retarded.

I would suggest you go into this with eyes wide open. you may lose a friend. if she has the potential to be more than a fling, it might be worth it.


Oh,also, most of your "mates" from high school will likely end up being douche bags you despise later in life.

I did!. Though in my case, the girl and my friend weren't really in a serious relationship and they were only going out for half a year. After they broke up I ended up in the same situation as you, so I waited, talked to my friend about this (he was cool with it) and I let events take its course.

That said each scenario is different and it depends on a lot of things that sadly is beyond your control (most of the time). The best place to start though is talking with your friend if you are really serious about this girl.

p.s- All is fair in love and war!

Wasn't there like a Man Law or something pertaining to this?

Edit:
Man Law: It is wholly unacceptable for a man to date a friend's ex. (Addendum: If the girl is a 10, said ex is off-limits for six months.)
