After we broke up my ex-girlfriend wants to be friends. She was the one who initiated the break-up.
I said of course I want to be friends and I was first to leave after 5 minutes of talking the break-up and deleted her phone number.
Is it normal if I just want to forget her and move on as soon as possible?
I think you should just give it some time. You have some emotions that need to settle down before you make any decisions.
Even though you might hate her now, you might come to regret it later.
...or it might just be best to eradicate her from your life.
Its all relative.
I don't really believe in a friendship with the ex especially if we cared about each other. We will be jealous all the time and is a waste of time. Instead we can meet other people to date.
However I agree with @tygeronherbed regarding being 'fuck-buddies' until we meet somebody else.
i think you are normal, and i do think that you are right about not remaining friends.
lovers who have been demoted to "friends" were never serious lovers to the one who wants friendship now.
yeah its normal, but you should try to take her feelings into consideration as well. if you two were very close she probably still wants to depend on you for emotional support, or at least as a real friend she can talk to and trust.
my last bf and i were together for a year and when i finally did break up with him it was because i just felt we would make better friends then lovers. i was so afraid that if i broke his heart he would want nothing to do with me, but he took the break up like a man and still treats me as sweetly as ever. even tho i have a new bf now he and i still talk on the phone, text, facebook, and count on each other for advice and friendship.
we know each other so well, why throw away a friendship just because a relationship cant work?
absolutely
especially if you really liked her and want to move on.
however, nowadays a 'fuck-buddies' system is pretty socially acceptable with exes between serious relationships, often continuing through dating, even if it's not talked about openly.
so, yeah if you wanna, I'd remain friendly and charming and she'll eventually get frustrated not being able to fuck you and she'll want you right bad.
