where is the friction in your desscription?

I tend to agree that former boyfriends/girlfriends are best as friends "from a distance"

but i am also wondering what u mean???

Yeah may be but sometime fantasis will creat problems
Then that situation will ??.....distance friendship is another matter,

Regarding exgirlfriends, in my own experience unless they were part of a circle of friends, all contact stopped after we broke up for no other reason than just going our separate ways. However friendly the breakup, I don't believe getting back together is something both of us would ever want, in my opinion when it's over it's over, you need to move on with your life.

Yes I have new boyfriend

Ok

Well, it depends on the maturity of the two people involved. I just had lunch with my ex-boyfriend today but we are strictly friends. We have no intention of dating or ever getting back together. I have another ex who chats with me on Facebook but he is in a relationship; so again no chance of us getting back together. I have others that call me or email me as a friends but no chance of getting back together. I think its harder for younger people to stay friends with their exes than someone that is older but that is just my opinion.

Navygirls are just cool like that!

I do think you can be friends with an ex IF it is agreed you are
never going back together. I am friends with a lot of my guys that
I use to date. Some of them are married now and I am even friends
with their wives, their wives know that I am not the type to mess
with a married man so we have no problems. They are my ex for a
reason so its not like I am sitting there trying to figure out how
to get them back...I am sitting there thinking OMG I am so glad you
got stuck with them. LOL not really, they are just friends and I
am happy that they are happy with their lives.
I think as you get older you mature and realize that you dated them
when you were younger and things were not to be for a reason. You
can be friends with them because they are your PAST and we are moving
on with the FUTURE.
I am also friends with my ex husband and I have no problems with
his new wife. I think you just have to be mature about the situation
and know that things didn't work out for the best. Life does go on
and you will find better.

I've posted here the situations that allow me to be friends with my ex boyfriends, but not what would prevent it.

If I ever lost respect for an ex boyfriend due to cheating, lying, or any kind of cruel behavior, I would not be able to be friends with them. I have to be able to respect my friends.

Agreed cindrela

Aww; thanks.

distance can have more than one meaning in this context. A long distance frienddhip like u and I have because we live thousands of miles apart is one meaning.

"Distance" in a relationship also simply means giving someone personal space for whatever reason. For two people who used to have a romance but no longer have that, it would be remaining on friendly or civil terms but not actively seeking each other out (presumably because each of them has gone on to find new love, and should be able to do that with "ex drama." and both understand that for each other). That is the meaning I had for my statement about remaining friends with an ex from a distance.

agreed. tho I am on civil terms with exes who have done those things I do not have or want an active friendship with them

Hi sweety...thanks u have feelings???but distance will work sometimes if u hv aith n feelingd

its depend to them if they want to be back each other again. if they still love each other then why not right.." love gives a second chance."

right, it is important that both people have the same understanding about the nature of their friendship..... that it is not going to be a romantic relationship

Yes you can be acquaintances.

Yes you can be acquaintances.

you are definitely right.
