It depends on how long you were going out with the person. If a long term, I would say no, even if there are no feelings any longer it's still just confusing. You liked that person once and it could happen again. That's what usually happens after u break up with someon you forget why u did it. Then you want to get back together again. For most cases I would say it's a bad idea to be friends with ur ex. Too many feelings there!!

It depends on your feelings for your ex. If you are still in love, or have strong feelings, there will always be the potential to end up in a romantic situation that you may later regret... Also, are you the jealous type? Will you have a problem being friends with him, and meeting his new person in his life? Will you be comfortable talking about his new interest? Just something to think about. If you can, and you are not still caring about your ex the same way, and are not jealous, then I don't see a problem with it.... Who knows, they may end up being your best friend... Good luck to you.

yea you really can be friends with your ex... i say this because every guy i have ever broken up with i am still great friends with and there is no sexual attraction between us because we have all moved on and are completely happy with the people we are with but wee continue to be great friends and have a great time and hang out together and tell each other things so yes you can be friends with your exs if you both know how to handle it correctly

Of course, as long as you both COMPLETELY understand that you are just friends AND you're both ok with that. The problem will come when one of you starts seeing someone else. Even if the someone else isn't the jealous type, most people can't handle their significant other involved with any ex.

The only ex-girlfriends I don't talk to are the one I lost contact with. Of course. That's the point of being over the age of 13. Relationships span carnal sex if they ever existed.

I don't know why you can't if he or she is willing to do that. I think its a very mature attitude to have to be friends after a breakup but some adults act like they are in jr high.

Nope... didn't work for me
Bestfriends + Dating (3weeks) +Break up= not even friends anymore
(Except for the occasional txt)
(And I didn't hold a grudge)
