After a breakup, Is it best not be friends right away but give it about three months to move?

I don't want to get back with him at least not on the idea that we are both doing the exact same things but I wondering if friendship is bad with an ex. We were practically best friends and friends before we dated. So its harder to cut ties completely. What is the best thing to do?

    Friendship is not bad so long as boundaries are established. You dated for a reason and had a relationship because for a while besides being romantically attracted to eachother you were best friends... but again boundaries! Make sure you both understand that no sexuality should come back out from this... kissing cuddling even hugging can sometimes complicate things.... bring emotions back that may be conflicting- which is why space may be necessary.... give you both time to heal regain yourself and then friendship will be easier. But time depends on the person~ and how ur relationship ended... for some friendship is never reconcievable for others its as easy as 123.....

    Hope this helps

    Yes it is best to move on. I know it is hard to say good-bye to the people who you have cared about, but your relationship (friend or otherwise) will never go back to the way it was.

    It might hurt a lot now to be apart from him, but it will hurt you more in the long run if you hang around him & you two aren't as close as you want to be.

    Dating (& breaking up) has a way of ruining friendships.

    If you're ready to be friends again then sure.But if you still feel unsure about this,give it some time.
