Weird Friendship with x's sibling ksu01: I have somewhat of a strange situation. I have become really good friends with my x's sibling. My x and this person have pretty much disowned each other. We both went through divorce at the same time and became really close friends, we have both been divorced over a year and I feel we both are attracted to each other, my question is since we are both not seeing anyone seriously, should I approach this person about possibly taking the friendship to the next step or is that just to weird. I find myself sexually attracted to this person and we have discussed the absence of our sex lives. Also do you believe two people can have a one night stand and still remain friends if you both agree it is to awkward.
Re: Weird Friendship with x's sibling JNA: All of the women I have ever dated I have been friends with first...
I have remained friends with all but one
It is good in the manner that it lets you get to know them before diving in...
The downside though is the friends you may lose if she is not one that can handle a breakup if it comes to that
All things considered I say go for it...

Re: Weird Friendship with x's sibling alonewith2: The key is that you both have to agree. However, if one really didn't find "it" awkward...they will find that going back to friendship awkward after the fact.
Re: Weird Friendship with x's sibling isp34: Is it any surprise you are interested in your x's sibling? I don't think so; you were attracted to your x for whatever reason, you shared a bond of divorce with the sibling, and have stayed friends...all these things lend themselves to the start of a great relationship IMHO.
Now, get over the weirdness (unless there were kids involved) and talk to the sibling. Try to be as upfront as possible without going to far. Emphasize the importance of the friendship and how that is what you want to keep no matter what happens between you two. Then say/ask if you could go on some/several dates, and see what happens. If the physical thing happens, let it, but then make sure to communicate and insure the friendship is still intact. I think your heart will guide you well after these types of things happen.
Good Luck!!
