Being friends with your ex

just be his friend! ITs better to be that and not be around him at all! I have experienced it! Just go with your instinct! Just be friends with him! I personally think that is better! LEt me know what happens! ♥

u culd be his best friend!!! hu knows??? well go for it!!!

With all of my X's... They said ''Hey we still can be friends" And just like in all them movies, the guy never comes around to it. Im not trying to burst your bubble here. But if you can be his friend, Go for it!! if you can't, just leave him alone. Sometimes its easier getting over someone if they're not around you 24/7... you know what i mean?
But best of wishes.

If you still have feelings for him I don't think just being friends will work. You will take everything he says and does and hang onto that hope that he cares for you more than a friend. In your mind you might think that there is still a chance for the two of you to get back together and work things out. It ends up just being false hope and you end up getting hurt even more. Usually when a guy says "lets be friends" he is taking the easy way out because he never had the same feelings for you in the beginning. The only way I have had that work is if it was a mutual break up. In time when you are over him it might work for you. Just my opinion I hope things will work out for you. It's your decision to make.

I was in a relationship with someone for 6 years. we split, became friends, and now we're like family. that was 12 years ago.

My ex still wants to be friends with me even though I have moved on after what she has done to me.
I still care for her as a friend but nothing more!

I think it might be best if you took some time apart. Spend time away from him, and when you feel confident that you can be friends without becoming too emotionally attached, then start seeing more of eachother.

My ex and I broke up in February and we are just now starting to become friends. We had tried acting like friends right away, but it only made things worse because the more we talked the more I liked him.

Be friends with him, you might get a second chance :)

Iam trying to be friends with my ex but it not working out, I am trying to be nice to her but she just says things that makes me mad, She says she wants to talk to me but all she does is make me get mad. I talk with her becuase she is one person that understands me.

My best friend is my ex-boyfriend. We went out and we didn't know each other as well as we thought and it didn't really work. He broke up with me but still wanted to be friends. I didn't want to cause I thought I would never get over him and that a friendship would never work. But it turns out to be much better. We still fight and stuff but I think it's much easier to make up with him as his best friend then as his girlfriend.

i'm still good friends with my ex, go for it! it might be awkward at first, but things will get better, one of my best friends is my ex...I actually love him more now as a friend than i did as a boyfriend, i hope things work out for you.
