There has been silence between my ex and I for a couple months now. We have both since moved on. I see him around but I don't say anything because I figure that if he wanted to talk, he'd make the first move. So...do you keep in touch with your ex's or is it just too weird?
It didn't necessarily end on an argument....is was more impatience and miscommunication that ended it.

I don't know. Do you have anything to gain or lose from either maintaining the silence or breaking it?

Wow that sounds like me and my ex. I think its good to keep communication open because at one point you both were friends. What made you two friends in the first place is still their. My ex and I have alot of mutual friends so we happened to run into each other at party's and malls. Most of the time we wont say anything to one another and act like we didn't see each other but it would always get back that we asked about each other. When one of us broke the silence we were equally happy to here from one another. We both thought the other would be mad and not wont to be friends. We got over it and I learned sometimes people make better friends than boyfriends or girlfriends.

Well, most of the time it is to weird to be friends with your ex because everythime you get together, memories come back and you remember how things used to be, and it could ruin your friendship. Just try to get over him the best you know how and time will heal. Keep yourself busy and your mind occupied. Things will get better. If he hasn't contacted you by now, then he probably never will. There are plenty of other guys out there. Don't settle until you find that Mr. Right!!! Good Luck!!!

confident, i ought to agree all individuals argue each and every so typically. i do no longer imagine of it quite concerns who's proper or incorrect, even even if interior the authentic you do not ignore that no be counted what you're prepared to disagree and that each and every and each and every would have their personal opinion and that ok. Silence is something that I call a cooling off era, once you recognize the communique is going no the position and that is interior the circle effect>>no ingredient in easy terms retains going. i quite do no longer imagine of it would nicely be about whom will spoil it, even even if is the concern be counted or grew to change into it that substantial interior the first position.....even as you're patently waiting to ensure this aspect then why no longer be the in worry-free words....after the cooling era it really is. optimal proper desires

I don't keep in touch with my ex's. They're ex's for a reason. If you had a break-up that was amicable, such as you found yourselves growing apart or feeling more as friends than romantically involved, I can see staying in touch. But otherwise move on and let the past remain in the past.

A couple of my ex-boyfriends and I kept in touch for a short time afterwards, but honestly only for sex.
I think it may depend on your relationship and how it ended as to whether it's weird or not, as well as why you want to keep in touch.

Here's my take: Examine what you want to get out of the re-contact. Are you still harboring hope of reconciliation? Can you handle hearing about new dates in their life? Can you talk to them as a friend without hoping for more? If so, then go ahead and try it. If not, walk on, you aren't ready. If you need more time, approach him casually and see if he is open. If he's not, you have your answer, if he is, then take it step by step keeping your feelings in check as you go. Sometimes you can be friends, and sometimes you can't. In order to do it, both people have to be able to drop any expectations of more than mere friendship and go with it. Think about it and be honest with yourself before you go for it. Good luck.

I have seen people keep in touch with their ex's. It is not weird...especially if you did not end on bad terms. When you see him around next time you stop to say HI it may surprise him BUT it will show your maturity. GOOD LUCK!!!!

If you want to be friends with this guy then i suggest saying hey to him one day and see what happens. If he responds in a good way then you could try being friends with him, but if he just ignores you even after you say hey a few times or try to talk to him, then you better wait and see if he ever comes to you. However, if you dont' feel comfortable being his friend or just don't want to then you probly shouldn't worry about it.

some may realize that you are better off friends than in a relationship. if you want to change things see how well it goes just to be friends with him. you two may be best friends after a while and realize that's better then trying to get back together.
