O.K. Dating an ex or someone that a friend has dated has already been acknowledged in this blog as a touchy subject.
Nevertheless, it does happen. And when it happens, it should be handled carefully. I know some people who think that you should ask the friend's permission before going down that road.
I believe that when it comes to dating an ex of a friend, the friend should at least be put on notice that you are pursuing the person. There is nothing worse than finding out from somebody else. Depending on what type of person you are, your friend's reaction may cause you to change course or you will just move on no matter what is said.
How do you believe dating an ex of a friend should be handled? Do you believe you should ask for permission? Do you believe the friend should know before?

I definitely think you should let your friend know before you date one of their exes. Not necessarily to ask permission, per se, but to give them a chance to be heard and air any grievances. Based on your friend's reaction, you should decide if going out with the ex is worth it. If you risk losing your friendship, the date probably is not worth it.
