Would you relent to an invitation by your ex to a friendly date? It's not me but my high school chum who was widowed a few years back. Now, her ex had contacted here via social media and being persistent with the invitation. My friend is hesitant because the guy has a family. What if something happens that is not morally right? Anyway, my advice is it's all right to go on a date with a chaperon. At least they cannot be intimate because they are not alone. What do you say?

If this individual is being persistent with the invitation and has a family of their own, I would be really careful about that. If it were me, personally, I wouldn't go.
I had a guy that kept asking me to have coffee with him. Well, I knew something was off so I kept making it sound like I was busy but he was pretty persistent himself with the invite to have coffee. After telling someone I knew about this particular individual, I found out that this person had been convicted of rape and they weren't listed as a sex offender either.
Point is, be careful! I know I don't know this person at all but you don't know what this person's intentions are. They may have the best intentions in the world or they could have the worst intentions in the world....you don't know till you end up in that situation. If your friend insists on going, they should take your advice and take some other people with her. I would make it a group thing and invite several people to the "date". If this person backs out when they find out that other people have been invited, then you'll know they had bad intentions to begin with.

I met with my ex 2 times already. He wanted help with 2 websites and we decided to work together. I told my husband about the discussion and he was OK with it. We're both in our own separate families now, we are both parents, no reason to try rekindle what didn't work in the first place 😀
I'm fine meeting exes for a friendly chat, but nothing as formal as a "date" as some people may think of it differently. Also, we are both in stable relationships right now so it's better for it to stay that way and for our partners to not think otherwise.
If the ex is single and I too am single I wouldn't mind going out as friends. I say single because I also know once you've been in a relationship with someone old feelings can return and something could happen. Whether it be a kiss, compliment, etc. I morally would feel terrible if either were in a relationship.
And I was thinking the idea of if both of us were in a relationship and we went on a double date..... just how awkward would that be?? lol. No thank you. Most of my ex's and I are not in any kind of communication anymore. Not really how I wanted things to be, but people grow apart for reasons.
