My ex really wants us to. And i can see it in the future but give time to grieve the end of one relationship before embarking on a completely new one in a different direction. Gonna take a bit of time to adjust to not kissing him, holding his hand.... also gotta stop wanting him so much! Then and only then i believe yes we can be real good friends because this break up is fairly amicable and we get on soooo well and have loads in common....
You can never have enough friends!!

Best to let it lye for now, spend time away or have very little contact other than occasional calls.In time once the smoke clears you can work back into being closer again but in a different sense.Trying to transition too quickly will make it very stressful and complicate both of your lives.

Yep - for sure.
But you can't do it on your own - your ex will need to display the same maturity and respect that you will to them.
As long as you can handle the thought of them with others moving forward.
It may be tricky at first, but you should get there if both parties are easy going.
Good luck

I;ve remained really good friends with a few, but the last is a monster.. she says that she wants to be friends, but she is incapable of it. I have had to have my fone changed, my work email changed, my yahoo email blocks her. I have had to get the Police involved before. Then she turns up at my door wanting to be friends.
she is a monster. I have to be cold blooded about it. Now she accuses me of being a horrible person....
my answer is - yes, and it is a good thought, but some people are incapable of it.

Yes, but you have to work at it for a while, and you both have to have an underlying foundation of respect for each other. If it's not a two way street, don't waste your time trying to convert the other person to your mindset.

really depends on if ur were friends first and how painful the break up was, it is always hard seeing ur ex with someone else, doing all the little things they used to do for u that u thought were special....

Me and my ex wife are still best friends. And we were married for 23yrs. Makes life so much easier for the kids.

I believe so, as long as both of you are over your feeling for each other and are both in agreement that it's over and you are just friends. I wouldn't double date or introduce your next boyfriend,girlfriend to each other for awhile though.
