After youve been more? Weve all seen it hyped on tv shows and such but is it a real life possibility? what if nothing is wrong with the other person and you just wanted to be friends again would that be possible and how would one go about becoming friends again and nothing more?

i think its possible if its a mutual break up. it becomes much more difficult and hurtful for one of you if they want the relationship to work again. i speak from experience with that.

It is possible in some situations, but you might not be as close as with some other friends. A girl that I was with 8 years and I saw each other a couple times a year, and now aren't in touch. But a girl that I only dated a month, I ended up being friends with for 4 years. We were both always a little jealous when the other one went out with someone, but we just joked about it. My ex-wife, who left a few years ago, she'd call once every 6 to 8 weeks for a while, now even less. So, the friendships may not be the day to day one's, but there are lots of types of friendships. Most of all, right after the break up is the hardest. Especially if one left the other. The one left usually has the harder time just being friends. If you both agree to part, then you might be able to be better friends. But, like I said, right after the break up you will still be emotionally attached... After a few months, it might be better. Every Situation is Different... Good Luck.

It is possible but not everyone wants to work for it. Some people are okay with it and some arent. I have a guy friend who is friends with everyone of his ex's. It isnt something everyone does because many want to harbor their anger and sadness, which prevents moving on and being friends. You just have to work at and dont give up on the friendship you know is there.

If you guys had been friends for a long time BEFORE dating, there is a chance of becoming friends again. But it takes a lot of time. It took over a year for me and an ex, we rarely saw each other, only through mutual friends, and now he is my friend, but not a close friend. If you went from meeting someone to dating them, chances are HIGH that you wont be able to be friends again.

No, it is not possible. Once you've been lovers, and that ends, things can never be the same. You may think you can be just friends, but your heart won't lie to you. You will always think of what you had and and your heart will ache. I know from experience.

basically u just tell the person that u want to just be friends if it's possible but the thing is once u date a friend it will always be akward moments when ur playing and saying certain things to each other trying to make a joke about it but u can be friends again.ur always going to wonder though about wat it would have been like.

I haven't found it possible. Once with some I dated 20 years ago, but none of the others.

Nothing is impossible.
It is possible to go back to being friends with someone. All you have to do is find the best way to start again.

hell yes if you were realy frinds in the first place
a little exchange of body fluid is no big deal
you should only have sex with those you care about
if you realy care you only want whats best for them
sex is no big deal you can take care of eachothers needs from time to time
