Last week, we filled you in on the right way to handle the moral dilemmas that you'll face as a married man. But what about the single guy? For those of you still playing the field, there are many opportunities to choose the wrong romantic path and look like a giant buttmunch. However, instead of telling you what to think, we thought we'd ask you to weigh in.

We'll deliver a verdict based on your feedback, so if you like seeing your name in print, make your opinions known.

Dilemma #1: Is it acceptable to ask out your friend's ex-girlfriend? If so, how long should you wait?

Say that your best guy friend was dating Cameron Diaz for a while, but now he's dating Jessica Biel. (Is that a step up or a step down? Forget it, that's a question for another "dilemmas" story.) You know you're not supposed to lust after her, but Cameron keeps dropping pens at the beach and spilling whipped cream on her miniskirt. With that kind of erotic energy in the air, how could you not sleep with her? The real question is how long after they break up is it acceptable to ask her out on a real date?


Our friend John (his real name, the bastard) is one of the experts on stealing ex-girlfriends. He says, "It's because I usually don't have a problem getting girls and then, all of a sudden, here's a majorly hot girl I'm not allowed to touch. The temptation grows stronger when she comes on to me after she dumps your sorry ass."

While John is probably kidding here, this is serious dilemma for platonic male relationships. What are the ground rules, if any, for dating a friend's ex? If you sign up for sloppy seconds, do you accept the consequences, too?
