Dating the ex's friend

[Boy]

Hi,

My ex was my first relationship.
It was over a week and a half ago, after I broke up with her, and lasted 3 months.
I realized that I was so excited by being in a relationship for the first time, that at first I ignore too many traits which I was repelled by - like she was kind of dependant on me, she was afraid to tell me things that bothered her about me so I wouldn't be mad or like her less or something like that.

Her friend doesn't have too much of a problem with us dating, we dated yesterday but when I wanted to date her tonight she refused and wanted first to figure out what was going on between me and my ex that I decided to break up with her after telling her that I loved her during our 3 months together

So I told her what I just told you, and that after 3 months I started seeing all the traits I was repelled by and admitted it.

What do you think of dating the ex's friend?
Can it work?

PS
It seems that this friend knows everything about the relationship me and my ex had.
My ex even showed her love letters that I wrote for her, which surprised her friend how come I broke up with her after sending her love letters.

Already doomed. Your ex confided in this new girl and yeah, she knows things about you that she would only discover if she were dating you. Why wouldn't she be confused, you told o girl you loved her within three months then broke up with her. The new girl is probably afraid you'll do the same to her. If i were you, I'd just work on self and find a new girl who isn't your ex gfs' bff.

^^Yeah, agreed.

I wouldn't go out with you either, knowing about how you were with your ex.

Also, a week and a half is too soon to start dating her friends. Dating her friends is iffy, anyway.

Thanks fellas for you honest advices.

MerryH, you got me freaking curious, what does iffy stand for?

[MerryH]

It means questionable.

In your case, I meant it as "potentially bad idea".

This is disrespectful to your ex girlfriend, even if she says she is okay with it. Unless you are like 14, stay away from your ex's friends.

I think you are an insensitive jerk. You've only been split with the ex for a week and already you are seeing someone else and not just that, but it's her friend??

Are you for real?

[Boy]

It was my first relationship.
I ignoered all the signs telling we're not for each other because I was excited of not being alone finally.

I have no feelings for her, since the moment we broke up I didn't even think of her.

I know it's bad dating her best friend, but what can you do?
Ignore your feelings?
