yes, but generally only if it's one of those cases where you were friends, tried dating, and realized there was no chemistry.

The more romance involved, and the longer the relationship, the lower your chances of staying friends.

hmm hasnt really happened to me. I have only had three serious boyfriends though. One i was with for 6 yrs and we arent friends at all. He choose to do some stupid things. And the others im not on bad terms with but i just dont really keep in contact with them. So i guess its differnet for everyone..

Yes, it can be done -- one of my best friends is someone I was involved with many years ago. She's married and has 2 kids now, and we hang out and there's never been a problem. Her husband is a wonderful guy, by far the best one she's ever been with, and he and I get along just fine.

Yes you can. I hate drama, so I make sure things are mended up.

Oh yes most definately, my best friend for 11 years is my first boyfriend ever. Dont forget that you both had an attraction for each other once and that you loved and respected her for something that you found amusing, great and interesting. If it didnt work as an intimate relationship, then it might be meant for something other than that..

take it from this guy..the answer is a deffinate yes..
i know that none of my ex's will ever even think about taking me back,because i am much too grounded in cement where my job is conserned..and..i would never be with them either..once i am seperated,it' for good..

but we still call,we still go downtown to montreal and rock the bars,..i even chat with them when i am on a out of province construction detail..

just because two people have decided that they were not meant to be a couple,doesn't mean that the friendship has to die..

Yes they can
I am really good friends with my first ex wife and would never consider being ahything else but friends.

Also needed to state my first ex wife got pregnant by someone else while we were still married...thats why we divorced.
But she is now one of my best friends...We love each other, but in a different way. She is more like family than an Ex.
We could sleep in the same bed, and I would never touch her.
She is just a friend, and that is all it will ever be.

I think it depends on the reasons you broke up, but yeah, it's possible. I'm friends with just about every significant "ex" in my life. My ex-husband is one of my best friends, we couldn't live together, but we get along great now.

It can be done...one of my best friends who is engaged to a great girl that I get along with also...He and I keep in touch as a matter of fact they invite me over for cook outs and what not..we are all good friends...flowerforyou
Before he got involved with his fiance', we kept in touch and remained good friends...

It probably depends how the relationship ended.
