(You've always been attracted to your best friend's long-time significant
other. They've just broke up!)
(do you make the move?)

Depends. Do you want to be the rebound person and lose the friend?
It sounds like a weigh-the-risks question rather than an ethics
question, but I'd probably be up front with the friend to avoid
problems.

nope, I'd bide my time and see what things looked like now that s/he is
free. After all, forbidden fruit is often very tempting. That doesn't
mean you rush to make a salad at the first opp. After s/he had been
around as a single for a while, and we'd been friends for a while, then maybe I
would -- if it stilled seemed like a good idea.
This is the theory. In practice, my hormones usually get the best of me
and I'd probably be married to me best friend's ex- within the year.
Hopefully I woul;d have been able to salvage my friendship. (I probably would
-- I almost never lose friends through anger.)

No, that is the lowest thing you can do to a friend. No matter if they
broke up on good or bad terms, chances are your friend will still be very
angry. From experience , MY friend wanted to date a guy that I used to like
and even though I didn't like him anymore, it hurt.

I would look at the reasons for the break-up and ask my friend if he/she minded
my spending time with this person.

I would ask her if she would like to have a lime jello bath with me.

I wouldn't risk the love of my greatest friendship unless I was in love with
the girl. Women are not worth losing friendships; however, love is.

I'd never move in right away. Wait and see what happens first. I wouldn't
want to be a rebound.
