This did not happen to me personally, but it did happen to a very good friend of mind. Long story short:
Girl meets boy from another town while in high school. They become pen pals
Girl and boy go to college in same town (different schools, but near each other) and remain friends, but date other people
After about 2 years boy introduces girl to a friend of his and they began to date. Girl introduces boy to one of her friends and they began to date.
Dating last about 2-3 months. Original girl and original boy realize that they really like each other, friends realize they like each other and couples 'switch'
Fast forward.... Original boy and girl are married (to each other) and have 3 kids. "Friends" are also married to each other and have 4 kids. Both couples have been marriend over 10 years
They are all still friends and even though they live in different cities keep in contact. When they get together they say they are glad they all realized the way things were supposed to be before it was too late!
Sooooo....although I will say I would NOT date an ex of a good friend of mine, I think this is a one -in- a million case of where it actually worked out!
