I have had this type of conversation before with people. I would like to think so but I just cant see it happening. There was obviously some sort of attraction between the two before, and regardless of their diffences in opinions and what not, it will always be there. They may not get back together but there is a high probablity that their "animal instincts" will cause something to happen.

It depends on how much time it's been since your split. If you broke up recently & are trying to be friends right away..nope..doesnt work that way. If you really want to be friends with your ex, give your self and your ex some time to first get over each other. Once that is out of the way, then you can be friends. But otherwise, both of you will be stuck in a stage not knowing whether to move on or to keep the hopes alive.

Hmmm it may be possible but I think that deep down inside there will always be that feeling where yall are still attracted to each other. Thats just something that you cant help. If it gets to the point where you think something may happen, you have to be the bigger person and let them know that you dont feel comfortable doing this and that you just want to keep it on a friendship level.

it all depends on the break up. That and how long you two knew eachother pre-relationship. If it was a bad break up, the chances are slim, but they are still there. Also, if one of you wants back, and the other doesn't, that is going to make things a little harder as well. But, if you don't act like a lost, drooling puppy, and you take things slow, iI think things should be fine. Love lives on in many different ways, and friendship is themost common. ^_^

Yes b/c I have a relationship with one of my ex's and we went together for a while but now we are just friends & nothings ever happened. If you still have fellings for that person then you might to wait a while before you actually just become genuine friends.

There is ALWAYS a "chance". Perhaps not coitus but what about all that leads up to it? What about that simple kiss when the x is feeling so down & out & confesses to you that they miss you deep deep inside, all the good times you had together...blagh blagh blagh. It happens! I didn't think it would but it does, if you become their true friend, you get closer than most couples do while they were married! And that is dangerous & unfair to your new significant other. The x is just that X...let each other GO so the next person your both with won't always have to wonder...my b/f of 4 years claimed "best friends" with his xwife, that I'd just "have to deal with it". She'd call him over 7-10 times a day beginning at 7am a lot of the times. I had NO idea "how close" they were til after I moved in (10 months of dating) with him. Then I found out she had a KEY to "our" home "in case their kids needed anything while he was at work"...I'm a stay at home mom when am I not home? And why didn't MY x get a key?! Then 8 months ago after I bought MYown home and he moved in with ME I found naked pics of his exwife hidden on a disk in his bible! The pics were taken two years AFTER the divorce! "Best Friends", eh?! Needless to say, it was HER or ME. NO more friendships with the X...he is still living with me now but mentions (during arguments) how I made him give up his "best friend"; that he misses that "friendship". So NO, NO, NO, I dont believe x's can be JUST friends...m/b at first but over time...you get to missing something about them. That "missing" ____ is what is dangerous. But if you don't have a significant other...then who cares what we all think...

You can have a gnuine friendship but it will depend on what the person is like. If he's calm, relaxed and laid back then yes it is possible.
Something happens if you or he lets it happen or wants it to happen. So it will depend on you as much as him for the friendship to work. I have loads of mates who are in this catergory.

Yes. and I dont just think so, I know so. My ex is my best friend. Just dont push him/her into something they dont want, or dont want to do. GENUINE friendship from an ex takes time...Good luck

Absolutely no chance! Once you have crossed that line, (been intimate) it is too hard to just be friends. I have tried it with my ex partner, he wanted to be my friend and be there for me, but in the end he just wanted cuddles and hugs and MORE! Its just not worth it, especially if DEEP down you are doing it to try and keep him, its over you need to move on remember the good times, but remember why he is your ex and that usually works

Absolutely. If both of you understand something happening is not going to happen then that fact shouldn't get in your way. He/she can become the closest friend you've ever had because you've already been through so much together that you already trust each other with your deepest secrets.
