This is a two way effort. If he's not feeling it, then you can't change a thing.
im in the same situation!!!!
personally 4 me, its never a good idea 2 b friends with an ex. they know too much about u and u with them also. but if u really want 2, u can try ';beating around the bush';, like say sumthin like its a nice day out, u got a new shirt, u like his shoes or sumthin like that. itll eventually ease things up a bit and then u guys can talk.

here's a concept: don't be friends with your ex. what's gonna happen is it's gonna be hard for you to detach, and once you do move on the new person is gonna wonder why the hell you stick talk to your ex. just drop it. exes are in th past.
The truth is you cant never be friends with your ex, depending on how serious you were with him. Just take some time off, you can send a occasional txt askin how he is...





Its awkward being friends with someone who you went out with..
Dont have a friendship with you ex. Just be cordial when you see him out, say hi, how are you? and well i gtg good night and then keep it pushing. Buddy-buddy with ex usually isnt a good thing. They are ex's for a reason.
if you dont know and its hard to rekindle a friendship with an ex then its obvious not time yet. its too soon for you guys to be rekindling anything. just live your life without him right now. you guys broke up for a reason as friends AND partners. maybe sometime in the future a month or year or 3 yrs from now u'll be ready.you guys can be friends but obviously not now. let it go.......
I would probably advise against it because there will be a lot of pitfalls in the friendship.
ah that sucks!





do you still want to be friends? is it something you really want in your life?





you should ask yourself how far you're willing to go.. and i say this because if you both mutally avoid each other then there's the possibility he doesn't want to be your friend either =/


it's a possibility, but you never know unless you take the intiative to talk to him... if it's kind of akward in person, why don't you try calling him and talking to him... at least you will hear his voice and see how sincere he is about it, while texting or messaging, you don't know their true feelings.





if he doesn't want to be your friend at least you got it off your chest and aren't left to wonder in the unknown.


but he still wants to be your friend, well hooray, right?





well whatever should happen btwn you guys good luck (:
He's your Ex dude! When he gets a new girlfriend you won't be his friend anymore, she'll see to that...think about it! Will you want your new boyfriend's ex all buddy-buddy with him? I know this is harsh but you might as well just keep things the way they are.
I personally don't see why ex's should talk and be friends. If a girl breaks up with me then I never talk to her again in any form or manner. Now if I broke up with her I still wouldn't talk to her because it would be awkward
If you were together a long time you should know each other pretty well. Get past the awkwardness by letting him know you care about him as a person and you would like to have a genuine relationship as a friend. You should be understanding if he doesn't feel like talking to the girl he wants to be his girlfriend again. My ex and I were friends because we understood one another very well.
