sakiiru Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Say you were with someone you knew it was never going to work out with, and they broke up with you but you still have feelings for them. How does it feel to talk to this person as friends afterward (whether they are moving on or not)? I just want to understand. Any answers would be appreciated.
Author sakiiru Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 Yes I know that it's not a good idea to do it, but how does it feel from the dumped person's POV?
Tree_Salmon Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 I stayed friends with one of my ex's and it actually turned out really well. We think of each other as weird extended family now. I never loved her again after we broke up or wanted to be with her but it's interesting to see how people change and grow. In fact, it feels weird to even think about her that way again. It CAN be cool but both people have to be over the romantic part and mature enough to do it. Normally though it doesn't turn out this way.
gibson Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 A lot of dumpers don't actually mean they want to be your friend... They are just letting you down gently. Let's assume your Ex actually wants to be your friend though. What does it feel like for your Ex? All you have to do is ask yourself how it feels to be friends with your friends. That's your answer. Would it bother you to hear who they like, dating, kissing, sleeping with? If that does bother you or you are hoping to get your Ex back by being their friend... You are not going to be a very good friend and you will get your heart broken over and over again.
