tlo2977 answered Friday November 10 2006, 9:41 pm: 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... [ tlo2977's advice column | Ask tlo2977 A Question ]

adviice_whore answered Friday November 10 2006, 7:00 am: 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.

pinkpong answered Thursday November 9 2006, 11:51 pm: 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.

loveismurderbabyyy answered Thursday November 9 2006, 11:49 pm: 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. [ bsktballchick45's advice column | Ask bsktballchick45 A Question ]
advicecutie22 answered Thursday November 9 2006, 10:24 pm: 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.
Meghanbucher14 answered Thursday November 9 2006, 10:20 pm: 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.
