Yes, possible. If you can truly face them that is mean all love and hate had vanished.

Well, I think that anything is possible, but I think that it should be done with the right intent.
I think that people need a cooling off period, no matter how amicable the split was. I mean, really, the other person was someone who you cared about and most usually slept with, it's hard to just unattach your feelings in spite of wanting a friendship. Maybe after 6 months or more, start talking again and see how that goes. For the most part I think it will end up making the new significant other uneasy, which may not be worth the friendship.
I think people can be friends if they don't have tension (sexual or otherwise) and when they are both on the same page. I don't think it could work if one was still hopelessly in love with the other.

No ... at least not the type of friend you once were because there has been a profound change.
Same as your best friend in third grade isn't the same as your best friend in college. There has been a profound change. Even if the friendship remains, there has to be growth, and a common goal.
Most break-ups break the "common goals" and the new goals are separate from each other.

Depends on the person & the reason for breaking up. I've been really good friends with all of my exes & there are no wierd feelings between us. Now if they had cheated or something, then I would never speak to them again. But breakups shouldn't be so dramatic & awkward- that's why you should be friends first before dating someone.

Yep!!
My hubby and I were seperated for about a year and I had an affair with my son's girlfriends brother.
After my hubby and I got back together, my ex's sister got pregnant with my grandson and my ex became real good friends with my brother. We see each other often during the year so we stay on friendly terms. Even my hubby doesn't mind much anymore!!

Depends on hope you broke up. If it was mutual then yes but if someone got really hurt i think it would be really hard for that person to just let things go. It might take a while but i still think its possible.

I wasn't able to stay pals with my former best pal that became a woman, grew to become relationship. We had a bad injury up although, if it became mutual i might say it rather is totally conceivable in order that long as you the two understand there is not something you % on hand there.

i would say it would depend on how nasty the break up was. If it was amicable and both parties agreed it was the right thing to do, then yes u could b friends. If the 2 of u were throwing daggers and insults back and forth , then i'd say it would b extremely difficult.

Usually has been for me. Especially if you have the same circle of friends. I've never been through a particularly acrimonius break up though.

depends. Were you friends with her before you went out with her? Then yes. Because you two know how to just be friends. Were you not? Then you could try it, but it might not work.
