| No, it's never, ever, ever a good idea. | 24 |
its normal as long as you both are 100% over eachother and the breakup wasnt bad, it was a mutual decision
just dont end up fucking or drink alcohol which could cause you to fuck again.. BAD idea
me n my ex r still really good mates we text all the time n hang out when we can. We dated for 6 years tho n knew each other since we were 13 so wud b impossible to have no contact with each other...we r both dating other ppl... so id say its normal to hang out with an ex :) but guess depends on the situation
A lot of exes get back in touch with me and we just have a chat and maintain an acquaintance. It's flattering that I'm apparently quite difficult to forget.
Not always, but with certain people. If the people don't break up because of hate, but because they just want to see other people or don't think your right for each other, then of course.
Doubt it, unless it's me. I'm over people quickly ;). But when I tried hanging out with my exes, they'd still have feelings. I don't see how they can, I'm old news
It's very iffy. Years ago I would have said no effing way but I'm actually friends with a couple of my exes, but I dated them so long ago people are shocked to find out we ever went out, because we are sooooo "just friends" with each other. Granted, this took a long time, a lot of time not in one another's lives, and spending time in other relationships since for both of us. Generally, it's best avoided, but if you guys just get along that darn well, just wait out your feelings until you don't think of them as anything but a friend (it will take longer than you think, but it will happen). To make sure, hang out with them when you have another partner and/or they do, and see if any jealous feelings come up or weird behavior occurs. Once you can be around them without feeling weird or them feeling weird, you've reached the friendzone!
If you are a girl make sure his name isn't Ike.To long a story to mention here.
It just end up screwing the chances to get into a new relationship if the ex is ALWAYS around.
Who in their right mind would start a relationship that has a BIG potential of turning into the unfamous '' but I still have feelings for the ex'' or you learned they f*cked behind your back during the whole relationship
It really just depends on the two people.. I can't be friends with any of my exes because they usually end up having feelings for me still.. And I quite frankly don't need my Fiance to go on a killing spree and end up in Jail lol
Maybe not friends per say, but its always a good idea to make sure they are never enemies. Of course it depends on how long you guys were dating, whether they blatantly cheated on you, or if they are just a horrible human being. But all too often people see normal good people who they just didn't have things working out with as the plague, and something to avoid, there is no need for that level of immaturity in the world. Whether you love or hate him, Hugh Hefner has said in the past that he still tries to keep in contact with all of his past lovers. I personally think that we can all learn a little from that.
Yes after the heart break is all done with. Thing is, if one or the other gets another girlfriend or boyfriend, I hope they won't get jealous because I'm sure many people don't like an ex in the picture.
if its a mutural break up give it a bit of time then hang out with them if you dump them give it a bit longer if the dump you it usualy ends up being arkward...
I think it depends on the situation, how the breakup was and ect. I am friends with all my ex's and have strong friendships with them all.
