99% of the time it's too fine a line because of why they're your "ex". That doesn't extend to family and friends, as one poster suggested. Besides, if you find someone new, it can be disrespectful to go spend time with an "ex" the new squeeze knows you were intimate with. Trust is a wonderful and necessary thing but why push it?

Not hear. Wish I could too many feelings. To much learned, too much offered. Nothing left to offer a friendship.

Anyways the steps go: Meet, like, chat, friends, attraction, relationship, and sex.
Last two can be switched if it suits the situation.
Hardly ever hear of friends working after a relationship.
Unless it was a short one

sure. I don't know many who even still talk to their ex's, let alone visit with them. If you try to establish a great relationship with a new someone, this can be difficult for them and you have to respect that.

How many of you have gone to be friends with someone you've had a relationship with when it ends?
Cant do it. hurts way too much and provides absolutely zero closure. closure is important cuz when you break up from a serious relationship you have to tell yourself that you will never be together ever again. thats important and if it does not happen then you can never really move on. JMO.

if there isn't total respect, by both, the relationship won't last (unless it's strictly sexual).
