I would respectfully disagree with this advice. It might not be a great relationship, but it sounds to me like his best buddy is possibly still in it, and definitely not recovered from it. I would suggest waiting a short while and then talking with the best buddy about his interest, gently. Ask him if in six months or so he would feel OK with you dating his ex. Romance and falling in love are amazing, but so are really good friends. And is someone a really good friend if they are inconsiderate of their best buddy?
