I like my best friends ex. I have got on with him since they first got together and we would talk when we saw each other, we always say hi to each other or have a quick conversation since they have broken up. I started to like him when they were together but since they have broken up I feel I like him even more. People have said to me they think he likes me (without knowing I like him). I don't know whether to pursue my feelings or not because he is my friend's ex. What should I do to stop me feeling like this, I have never felt this way about someone before. What do I do?

Have you talked to your friend about this? It might be awkward, but I'm sure if they want you to be happy, they'd let you pursue their ex; maybe even help you, considering they have experience with that person.

Thank you for your advice. I haven't spoken to her, but this has happened before with her previous ex with another friend and even though she has never openly said it's affected their relationship you can tell it has.

A lot depends on how the relationship ended, and how she feels about him. This may be different to the one before.
Either way, if you respect your friend, you must talk to her. It isn't about asking her permission - it's about telling her before someone else does. Not to talk to her would be disrespect, and not friendship at all.
Once you've spoken with her, then you'll need to make your decision. And it IS your decision; you need to consider that chasing this guy may mean throwing away that friendship, if she's stuck in her past - and you'll need to decide if he's worth that.
On the other hand, she may be fine with the whole thing.
