Depends on how close they are as friends.

Often a guy's friend won't go after one of his ex's. just thats the way it is.

Well first off your still young so dont worrie about it. I dont think you are in love with him. As for the friend thing, I wouldnt do it, its to much of a hasle to go out with one guy and then his best friend. The first guy will be way upset and try to get back at you in every way by trying to get you two broken up. And sometimes it works.

Defaintly wait. He might be upset about you braking up with his friend, or maybe he wouldnt want to betray his friend like that. Who knows what guys think?

The smartest thing to do would be starting a friendship with this guy! Dont spill every detail of your life to him though...because then you wont seem interesting any more. Be mysterious. Make him want to know more! Dont make it seem like your in this for a relationship...let him start the relationship when he's ready. If he doesn't seem to like you, then dont waste your time with this guy. Find someone new.

Write this down, doll. Heres how to find out if he likes you...

Keep an eye on how many times you catch her/him staring at you.
Take notice of whether s/he smiles at you a lot.
Look for whether s/he focuses on you in a crowd.
Observe if s/he has suddenly taken more interest in your friends.
Pay attention to any significant changes in her/his behavior toward you recently.
Start showing her/him a bit more interest and see how they respond.
Have a friend talk to her/him or one of her/his friends about you.
Ask, '[name], are you interested in me?'

Hopefully you will not have to use steps 7 or 8, but if you're having difficulty reading her/him, these steps are your last resort!
Remember, this is not an exact science, and it may take a few mistakes to perfect your technique

But, remember...dont start the relationship if a relationship is to be ...let him do it.

But listen to this...i got this exerpt off of about.com : Ask the Love Lady - My best friend stole my girl!
Featured Question: My so-called best friend just started dating my ex. I broke up with her a few months ago but my buddy knows that I still have some feelings for her and that I was thinking of getting back with her. Before I could he snuck in and started dating her. Would I be wrong to try to get her back even though they are a couple now?

I think that if you and your boyfriend have broken up and that if you and him agree that it is over. I say go for it. There is no real conflict if the previous relationship is no longer an issue.

If you have been in love with your ex boyfriend for two years and just broke up and wanting to see this aother guy are you sure you were in love? It is always best in my opinon to let the guy make the move that way you know he is interested in you. Of course I am old fastion. Today things have changed. How does he feel? Some guys are shy but my mother told me those were the ones you had to be careful of, If hes not shy give it time and see where it takes you. you have plenty of time your young. Life is short don't rush into anything your not ready for. Good luck

I love what tomturkey said, you took the words right out of my mouth. Love takes time to heal. So in other words if you dumped him how can you all of a sudden want to try his friend? Be careful, some guts will tell the other guy to go ahead just to end up using you or to get what they want from you. Or to end up spreading rumors about you. You are young and will be able to get another guy. Do not rush. Have a party, hang out with friends,go to the movies. You will find another guy. You are beautiful from what I see on the picture.
