Yeah, i guess they can. Even though you broke up that doesn't mean that you can never talk again. My parents got divorced and they still have a pretty good verbal relationship. So if you have the chance to gain another friend don't push them away.

i have many friends who are divorced or ended a relationship where they were able to remain friends. They also knew why they ended their relationship. While you and your ex don't know why it ended, i think you will have problems remaining friends. When one of you starts to go out with someone else, i think there will be jealousy or anger toward the other person. I would figure out why it ended before you wonder if you can remain friends, because maybe it hasn't ended yet...

Yes you can still be friends but it might become harder for you and the other person when you both get a boyfriend and girlfriend.

yeah of course you can. one of my exes is my best friend and the rest i still keep in touch and hang out. as long as you didnt end your relationship with them with fighting, it wouldnt be awkward and theres no reason why you couldnt be friends.

yes. definetely. i am living proof that it can happen- every single one of the guys ive ever gone out with i keep in contact with, and am still goodd friends with to this day. so i know that its possible,and actually- i would recommend it to anyone. i mean, you went out with that person becuase you had feelings for them- you can still love them. maybe not the same way, but trust me- there will always be that love for them somewhere in your heart.

yes you can. as long as you're not upset with the person for some reason, and you two arn't awkward around eachother, it's perfectly fine to be friends with your ex. my ex is literally one of my best friends. =) so yes, it's possible.

bsktballchick45 answered Thursday November 9 2006, 10:35 pm:
Yes they can. I went out with my ex a couple times, one time for four months. And now he is my best friend. But also, it might not happen. Just give it time, and see what happens. But exes can be friends.

Yes, Ex's can still be friends, I have seen it happen plenty of times. If you were friends before you went out soemtimes breaking up even makes your relationship stronger.

queenhearts answered Thursday November 9 2006, 10:23 pm:
Yes you can be friends.

But then some people can't. One person may want to get back with them, the other person doesn't want to.. so it causes some damage to the whole friendship thing.

But you can be friends or best friends, especially if you were good with communication in the relationship.

Yes- my last boyfriend and i broke up after 3 days because it just wasn't working. We're like best friends now and we can talk about whatever. I still care about him, and he cares about me, but we aren't going out. The most certainly CAN be friends.
