I trust in my friends judgement therefore if they broke up with someone, I would trust that it was for good reason and I would stay away from that person. Besides its kinda a silent betray of trust esp if their break up ended messy/bad.

Unlikely - voted never.
Only in very certain circumstances I might consider it (i.e. it was a fling, not serious, they didn't care etc)
I've had friends do it to me and I still hate them for doing it, massive disrespect. Had the last laugh with that one since they only went out with my friend to make me jealous to get me back

Not if they were together for a year. If it was a 1 month thing then maybe but I highly doubt it. Brocode right?

That depends on what why they broke up, if I consider the guy as a really good friend or not, if I really love the girl, if I think it can be something serious etc. So yeah, maybe.

There's really no telling. They could have been in a relationship for a year but never really completely opened up to each other and gotten really serious. It also depends on how the relationship ended, how long ago it was/whether he's completely over her and whether or not they're still in contact or, more importantly really, if they are then what terms they're on. In either sense, always talk it over with your friend first. If there are kids involved as well then that makes it awkward, my best mate has kids with his ex and I'd never get with her because I know he'd feel weird about me moving in and taking on the role of step-father to his kids, even though I've known them since birth and they see me as an uncle it's still weird.

Depends why they split. How much you like her. A bit what your friend is like.

If he dates a former fling of mine sure. A long term relationship if we ended tragically it depends on how relieved I am that we've finally split. If I've made it clear that I've feelings for her still and he creeps on her and he says, "Well you two aren't together anymore though!" Idk about that.

So if you being this person's friend have witnessed their ups and downs and what have you and then they finally split you'd move in on him/her? I think it depends on your last bit only tbh if your friend don't mind but still I think nites out would be weird... lol
