Me and my boyfriend broke up but he still wants to be friends can that really happen?

I think you can. My ex and I went back to being friends. We are actually very close still. I don't see or talk to him as much but I think that we are still counted as friends. It think you guys could go back to being friends if you keep talking.

sure u didn't see each other anyway so shoot him a hey how u doin' every once in a while. Be long distance speaking friends. Exchange nothing except words and you can be friends. The reason I say this is because when ppl say they only want to be friends and they know you have feelings sometimes they use you ie.. can you help me pay to get my car fixed and you wire money ... you can be his friend but only speaking friends don't get caught up. If it was me I wouldn't care if I ever spoke to him again and get on with my life.

if youre both mature and civil about it, then yes you can remain friends. i was in a 5 year relationship before, and we decided to remain friends after the break up because we're very very close. we were pretty much best friends for 5 years so it's hard to lose a best friend. i still hang out with him and talk to him on a regular basis. i have to admit it was extremely hard at first, but we're important to each other so we worked at it. he's dating now, and i'm interested in someone else too. and we're both ok with it.

good luck.

I wouldn't if I were you. I have an ex that I'm friends with and it might end up causing problems in future relationships. If you get a new boyfriend he will not enjoy you talking to your ex at all. I know breakups suck, but I would just leave the past behind you completely and move on.

you can, it will probably be hard though. It would probably be easier if you only text him or talked to him on the computer. Maybe talk to him on the phone once a month. If you don't talk as much it will give you time to move on. But if you don't see any point to a friendship then just tell him no.

If you both choose to, yes it can happen. It's completely up to you guys...sometimes it is best to avoid contact a few weeks or more after just breaking up (until the initial pain/sting fades) before attempting a more platonic relationship.

Hmm, I don't know.

It's kinda hard.

You can try.

But it's gonna hurt you if he starts to talk about other girls to you.

Give it time to get over him.

Then see what happens.

I used to be in the same situation.

Now we are back together. [:
