i want to add my ex's best friend of facebook, is that a bad idea?

You can add him on fb and he will probably accept but he won't speak to you unless you talk to him.

If he was really his best friend he will not doing anything beyond just talking to you and thats about it. Unless he asked your ex for permission then its a GO.

I doubt he will ask how you are if he broke up with you. He will probably interrogate his best friend though to why he is talking to you assuming he talks to you at all. It is never a good idea to jump from one friend to another that are in the same group especially if they are best friends unless there is potential for something better than just a couple for a year or two.
