Several times I have been asked out by a friend's ex-boyfriends or ex- husbands. I have obviously declined. However, I have seen my other friends having a fling with their friends' ex-partners without a problem! For some reason, I just cannot bring myself to attach with someone who I know was once in a relationship with a person known to me, I would feel awkward bringing them in front of my same friend? What are your views in this matter?

It could be dangerous because some of them are of the alpha variety.
Dating a friend’s ex doesn't sound right. It can really damage your friendship. I have seen people who do not see issues in that but I feel it's a sign of betrayal.
I don't know about anyone else, but for me, if my friend has dated a girl before, she is completely off limits, wether they are still together or not.
I think the feeling of running into an ex with a best friend is awkward. It's awkward even if it's with a stranger.
I would always talk to my friend if I have interest in his ex. I would ask him if he is over her completely. When he gives me the go ahead, I don't see any reason I shouldn't date her if I like her. Would I have to pass on someone I genuinely love because he or she had a failed relationship with my friend? For me, certainly no.
If I date my friend's ex, that guy would have succeeded in sleeping with two friends. That's so cheap of me and of our friendship. For me, my friend's ex is a no go area.
Your your friend has already ended their relationship, their ex would be single and dating a single wouldn't be a problem, in my opinion. However, since this person also used to be your friend's partner in the past, an ethical and moral question exist. I wouldn't do that
