pulling a cody

When a boy goes for a good friend's ex, either during a rough patch in their relationship or right after a breakup, and does so with the ill-timed and unlikely intentions of NOT hurting the friend.

C1: So. Talk to me. What's going on?
C2: Well, you see, he's trying to date his best friend's ex-girlfriend. And he doesn't actually think that's gonna cause a problem.
C1: Oh. Fantastic. He's pulling a cody.
C2: Did you really have to put it that way?
