I've been friends with most of my exes and some of my girlfriends became friends with my exes. I've also had a case where my ex wanted nothing to do with me and continues to treat me like I'm dead to her. It really depends on the person and also, what your desire is here. Why do you want to remain friends, knowing the potential awkwardness and tensions that might be present?
True collectros don't bother with non-vinyl relationships. Don't waste your time with people and you won't have this problem. Why do so many collectro greats avoid bathing? When you're only friends are other collectros and your records, there's no need to bathe.

the usual i suppose---Lost a great friend
I hear you. Personally, I think it's worth trying if you think it's possible but don't force the issue. If she's not feeling you b/c of the break-up + you being with a new person, then just let it go. If you guys were meant to be friends, a little time may be all that's needed.

TRUTH. This is the only reason for maintaining a friendship with an ex.
All you guys saying you shouldn't be friends with exes or only if you wanna "smash" again are really exposing themselves real little dudes.
I have great relationships with the majority of all my exes, only the ones that I didn't feel a real connection to begin with fall to the side. Almost every time one of my ex-girlfriends comes to town, we still go out to lunch/dinner, and I'm still on good terms w/ her parents, sometimes they even join us for meals.
I personally believe that your relationship with exes says alot about who you are and your personality.As O-dub said, if you were friends to be and its meant to happen, give it time and it will happen. If not, just move on. There is no worse look than trying to hang on to something thats over or rubbing her nose in your new found friend. My two cents.

Exactly. My current ex and I (of 6 months) are trying to make it work as friends. It's hard because we both still have feelings for each other, but know we don't work as a couple. We always meet up with other people there, and for now we don't hug or anything, trying to keep it as easy to be neutral as possible.

Yeah, I can understand not wanting to be friends if the relationship ended badly, but I've been on friendly terms with all but one of my exes. I just got a call a couple of months ago from an ex on the East Coast and we had a nice, long chat. I'm hoping she and her husband can come out and visit so I can see her newest kid. This whole "you can't be friends with an ex" sounds like some very personal grudges are being held.
Hate my most recent one too, but she burnt me bad, if it ends amicably it may be possible to be friends with your ex. Very much dependent on the situation & how the relationship went.

But that's the key. As an overly blunt friend of mine once said while breaking up with his girlfriend, "I sitll wanna be friendly. Not friends, but friendly."

OVERRATED.
Eh, I wouldn't say that. But in the grand scheme, it's hardly essential.

At least in my experience, it's never as good as it once was. Once there's bad blood, it never really goes away.

Harsh, but very true.
