no it just takes time a lot depending how far the relationship went and why it ended. in most cases you can not be friends right away you need that time to cool off and get yourself together bot of you. you also have to have that mourning period and closure. then you can but the trust may not be there completly or there may be some feelings there and that is just torture on you or them so choose wisely what you talk about with your ex because all things aside even if they say it doesn't hurt it still might. it took me 4 years to start being friends with my ex fiance and even now sometimes it is hard so good luck and i hope it all works out for you!

I don't think it's impossible. If your main focus is the friendship rather than the past then it will work out great. I stayed friends with an ex for 5 years. Had to sadly end it because either one of us kept bringing up the past. It made it very difficult and confusing to figure out what I wanted and had to sadly let go altogether. If you both want the same thing then a friendship would work out. If not, don't bother. Don't expect the friendship to be normal like all others though, coz u've shared something extra, something that other friends don't have!

Not at all. Almost all of my previous lovers are still my friends. My ex wife and I are still in touch and am working on still being friends. The only ex I'm not friends with is the woman I was engaged to before meeting my now ex wife. The only reason we're not friends is because she was killed shortly before we were to be married. Which is now, even more tragic as I know, that marriage would have lasted.

Very difficoult, expecially if you, or the other one, has some lingering feelings left for you, but not impossible. When both go over the phase "That witch stole my heart and broke it" and "I thought he was my prince, but he used me only as a pet" that follows very messy breaking up, you can still be friends. Then you'll have the additional difficulty to balance your ex with your new bf/gf jealousy.
But you can, expecially if you parted out in a friendly way

It had NEVER worked with me
We stop dating or break up
Let things settle and the friends thing just does not work
Over time they come up with the idea of maybe we could be that little bit more
Just want a boink buddy

No, that's the way it SHOULD be. Anger or pain over the break up should be short lived; and the fact that you know each other so well, and have experienced much together, can make for a wonderful friendship.

its not impossible but its hard. Cause sometimes those old feelings come back or their current BF or GF gets jealous and they try to control them. It sucks but its worth it to remain friends trust me on it, im going through it right now lol

I am still friends with most of my ex boyfriends. I find that we get along better as friends now, than we ever did as a couple.

No... you can not be friends, I have tried with my ex, we still fight like when we were dating, and we dated 5 years ago... you figure that by NOW, it would be different, but it hasn't changed

No, I'm friends with a guy I used to date and I'm VERY close with my most recent ex. He's one of my closest friends.
