Cupid’s Advice:
If you’re starting to have feelings toward your friend’s ex and it is mutual, follow these tips before it goes any further:

2. Time: Make sure it has been longer than just a few months since your prospective beau and your friend have broken up. You do not want to be a rebound to them or be seen as an incredibly bad friend.
