It depends. Sometimes a good friendship can evolve but other times, it's just not possible.

Friends is ideal but the way "nature" really works 90% of situations is to let go of any type of relationship with the person first..then let time choose the rest. Youll see that "life" does the work for you. I am friends with all my past boyfriends and or on "good terms". I hate leaving things in any unpeaceful manor. I have to have closure that ...we acknowledge that we are 2 great people that just aren't meant to be in a intimate relationship. no biggie. Then there is only good energy left out there and nothing to come back around to bite you in the booty!
Good luck
ps. If the relationship was in anyway dangerous ...just forget about the whole friends thing...theyre not worth it.

Depends on the people. I have a guy right now that I want to be friends with even though I ended it but he is being a pain and saying all or nothing.

I would prefer that we remain being friends if not the best of friends if it was a mutual decision after all we did had fun together never mind the fights we've had but if otherwise i guess it would be best that we'll never see each other again.

Every situation is different. I think it's healthy to be friends if both sides have put the intimate, romantic feelings aside, no longer there. You never know one of my best of friends I dated for 3 years, and then ended. We both knew even though we were not good as a couple, we were good still as Friends, and we still are to date. It's been 8 years now. I see him with his girlfriends, he see's me with my husband, and all is good.
As I said earlier it all depends on how you 'both' feel.
Best of Luck

i think it depends, if both just broke up with a graceful exit..meaning, both decided to then best of friends will surely evolve...but if it is just the other person's decision..then i think, it depends on the reason behind of the break-up because its sometime helpful for the other person to be a friend after that (think of the good old days) but then just like the other says, if its a not too good break-up, it will take a time for you to consider - even friendship to that guy....
weigh things first what's best...if friendship and being attached to him can make you happy then go on...if not...move on with urself

Honestly, it depends how long we were together or how much I cared about them. If i cared a lot bout him then I would prefer to be friends. Because it can be really hard to deal with a break up on your own, at least if you still talk to him and if you are around and you guys still talk then it will be easier because its like you never really lost him.

I think I would prefer being nothing. Just because I know how I am it would hurt me to much to see him be with another woman, thats not me. We all live on memories so if you know how memories work they always come back an stick to ya wheather they are good or bad.

it is up to you, do you think you would be comfortable meeting a new girlfriend, or giving advice on girls? it takes a big person to be friends with an ex. As hard as it is, I prefer to just let the other person go altogether.

If someone has ended it with you, you may be feeling pretty badly about it. Why make it worse by not being friends?
