Yes, you're wrong. That is the absolute worst thing you could have done to your friend. You should not go out with this guy, and hope that your friend will forgive you. I, who happens to be very forgiving and understanding, would have a very hard time forgiving you.

Please understand that I am not judging you but friendship is more important than any guy! If that is your best friend you need to respect her feelings and take them into consideration. I have been friends with my best friend since 16 and I am 30. I would never do anything to dishonor our friendship or to hurt her. No matter what goes on in your life boyfriends, money issues, family problems, happy occasions your best friends are the ones that sees you through and are there long after the guys are gone. Just think about if she did it to you. If you value your friendship you would just let this guy go because it's not worth losing a TRUE friend over!
Good Luck and I hope everything works out for you and your best friend! God Bless.

You are breaking the cardinal rule; You need to choose your friends over a guy, and you aren't doing that.
It doesn't matter that she broke up with him; it has only been a week, and even if it was a year after she broke up with him, you should have said no. At minimum, if you really, really like the guy, and a long time (like, years) had passed since they broke up, you should have talked to her about it and got her feelings about it then gone from there.
I would be mad at you, too. You are thinking more of yourself and not your friend. If you want to save your friendship, you would tell him immediately that you will not be going out with him, then apologize to your friend and hope she forgives you.

Yes you are wrong because you are dating your best friend's leftovers and it is a big fat NO NO!! You shouldn't have said yes to him. The best thing that you can do for yourself is to cancel the date with this guy. Let him know that you should've told him no and that you wouldn't date your best friend's ex-boyfriends. How would you feel if she did that to you? This is something that you really need to think hard about. Once you say no to this guy, apologize to your best friend and let her know that you wouldn't do that to her again. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so find your own man to date. Good luck...

Yes, you are completely wrong. Unwritten girl code is that you NEVER date an ex, or even a crush of a friend/best friend/sister. That is just mean and even if she did dump him-she still has a history of some sort with him and you didn't even give her time to get over him. My god......a week? Talk about insensitive.

okay i understand what your saying and i don't blame your friend for being mad! maybe you should have asked her before you said yes. did you ever think that he could be doing this to get back at her? i don't know any of you and to me it sounds like a bad situation all around. think about this do you really want to loose your friend over a guy? i'm 25 and i did what your doing whin i was 17 and i lost a really good friend over something so stupid we haven't talked in 8 years and we were like sisters.

The only time it is right for someone to date their best friends ex is if they haven't been together for a looong time and you have the friend's permission. It has only been a week and regardless of the fact that she broke with him, it is not right at all to go out with him. It is a complete betrayal of her trust.

I think you already know that this is scandalous and SO wrong! Isn't there enough men out there that you don't have to go after your friends sloppy seconds? YUCK! Your friend has every right to be mad at you, if I were her, I would get you out of my life fast!

If she were your true friend she would not care but just cause she is mad at you does not mean you have to break up with him or anything like that. what if you 2 were meant to be are you going to let her get between you guys No!!
any ways she broke up with him

You should have been a friend to your supposed 'best friend' and said NO! Chances are you are just rebound anyway, since they have only been broken up for a week.
