I think it's great. I am still friends with the only other guy I've ever been in love with besides my husband.
-
Dangerous. Not in the physical sense obviously, but emotionally. Once one of you starts dating another person it will get much more awkward, and from what I've seen it will make it that more ugly. But if you can pull it off, strength to ya.

If you two ended the relationship because you feel that you have better friendship chemistry than romantic chemistry, then it's fine to stay good friends. Just make sure you're not clinging to friendship in the hope that you'll reunite as a couple.

I think it can denote a level of maturity on the prt of both parties involved because there doesn't have to always be a bad guy. Conversely, if you are close because of being codependent upon each other, then it isn't such a good thing. Whichever it is for you is for you alone to decide in private.

well, i think only time will tell. however, your current bf if u have one mite get jealous of ur ex. but i am no expert. so good luck girly :)

It's not something for me. But it might work for other people.

Ah the old break up but not stop sleeping together gag. Love that one.
-
Only if the two of you agree to do it. If he is saying "let's be friends" just to placate his conscience, it won't be a good thing for you. If you both agree a romance is not there but you can remain civil to each other, that's fine too.

i dont think its possible maybe you can pull it off but with my exes i always have an attraction for them unless im with some one else
-
I think it's a good idea but, for myself at least, I wouldn't waste any effort on someone I broke up with and certainly I wouldn't wish to be their friend.
-
Whether its possible or a good thing probably depends on the two of you. I just wouldn't want to be your new bf/gf. That would be an awkward situation to enter. It would always be easy to doubt that I was the center of your attention, and your comfort in time of need.
