after a real relationship everything changes, nothing is the same anymore. Its not something you can explain but a friendship that has developed into a relationship cannot take a step back, its like permanent marker, after you use it you can try to erase all you want but there will always be a light imprint of what was there. maybe he cant get passed you being his ex because the way he'll always see you is the way he did during the relaitonship and that might make him uncomfortable

I would say it's probably because of hurt feelings and emotions involved. I have a friendship with a guy that developed into more, and if we were to ever not go there anymore we'd still be great friends. The reason this can happen is because we aren't getting our feelings involved more than having a good time and enjoying each other. As soon as you move beyond that point, you cross into an area that you can't recover from.

Friends accept each other without 'baggage' or 'attitudes' resulting from their time spent together.
Lovers want to dominate the time of their lovers...are more demanding and controlling.
Once you cross the line, it is almost impossible to go back, unless the two have discussed in advance the expectations of the other. Sex DOES NOT MAKE FRIENDS A COUPLE!!!
ONLY A MUTUAL AGREEMENT CAN DO THAT. So, if you had sex with a friend, thinking, "OK, now we are a couple", you could be thinking that alone, unless the other person agreed to the commitment. Good Luck.

Yes, sex does change a relationship. The way you broke up and/or the reason for the breakup might be significant too.
Give your friend some time to sort out his feelings and also think about what you really feel. Actually, sometimes a very intense relationship can be too much to handle, especially if it progressed too quickly. If it's too soon after your breakup, just give him time and check back later if he hasn't called. It is very difficult to step down a relationship to 'just friends' .

No, I thoroughly understand and trust you. I fell in love with one in all my acquaintances... and inspite of the shown fact that we did no longer relatively initiate a relationship, I now experience as though i can not be around him anymore. it is not infantile in any respect, some anybody is waiting to stay acquaintances and a few are not. you're terrific, in case you stayed in touch it may make it lots extra tricky to circulate on. i do no longer comprehend why she does not understand, inspite of the shown fact that that's unhappy that she has to lose you as a pal. i do no longer comprehend, yet carry in there. via the way, large call. I crave simplicity especially situations besides, yet on the entire i think of complexity makes issues extra exciting.

Ah, he feels awkward about everything. Just...talk to him. Force friendship upon him. Chances are he wants to be friends too...but dating changes things.
