I been talking to this guy for about a year but thing didn't work out between us. I ended with him and he said he still want to be friend with me. I agree to remain friend with him. Now, I'm regretting my decision because he doesn't treat me like his friend to me and he acts so distance. He is also talking to another girl too. If he doesn't like me anymore why would he ask me to be his friend? why would he still want to talk to me? how often would you guy contact your gal friend through email or text messages if you consider her as your friend? How would you treat your gal friend guy?Any thought guys or girls.

That's a good question. I'm on the rocks with my girl and I'm sorry to say it but I don't think we could be friends. Just the thought of seeing her or hearing about her with someone else would be to painful maybe a few years down the road, maybe. I would also have to say on the individual and how much emotions and time were involved as well.

Yes, I think you can, especially If it doesn't end bitterly. It'll be hard at first because you still might have feelings for that person, but once those feelings go away, you will look at that person as just a friend.

Of course you can still be friends after the breakup. Why not?
All breakups don't have to be bitter!

I'm still friends with all my exes because I'm not about to ruin a friendship because things didn't work out. You can't hold somebodies feelings against them, that's just selfish. So what things didn't work out? That just means it wasn't supposed to. I mean how long ago did you 'end' things? If it wasn't too long ago then you're probably still adjusting to him not being at you beckon as he was before. I contact my exes who I'm friends with whenever I either need to talk to somebody I know I can trust, or if I just go "Hey, I wonder how so-and-so is?" Everyone is different, just don't shut yourself away from him if you want to be friends and if you don't want to be friends then you either were stupid in ending it, or just need to walk away and tell him that you can't just be his friend.

Question Asker Not long ago...about three weeks. I'm used to him to respond to me immediately whether thru texts, email or phone calls.LOL and now I'm not getting it. Also now I don't have any reason to contact him without feeling awkward about. - 2 months ago
Uptown-Boy You say that now. But wait until your older or you really have a relationship where you invest so much time, effort and emotions into it.. - 2 months ago

Question Asker Thanks for comment. Sometime, some break ups are so bad that guys and girls end up never talk to each other again or hate each other for the rest of their life. Understandable. - 2 months ago
Answerer No it isn't understandable. It is human nature. We are all imperfect and we tend to have a hard time handle friendship after feeling rejected. It just a fact. There are few people who can maintain a friendship but it's rare. - 2 months ago
Answerer Funny how people click on the "down arrow" when they don't hear what they want. - 2 months ago

I am friends with almost all of my exes, and the people that I never dated but one or the other of us used to really like the other. If that made sense. I think it is completely possible to be friends with someone you used to have feelings for. Sometimes the loving feelings go away but you still really care about someone and don't want to loose them in your life and you want to stay friends so that you can stay close to them. The oftenness that you would contact each other would strictly depend on how close you are. I think you need to just decide if it's going to be too hard for you to just be friends, because if you can't be just friends with him then you shouldn't try just because he wants it. You need to think of yourself.

Question Asker I want this friendship too. I'm just getting use to the fact that I can't talk to him everyday or the fact that he doesn't immediately respond to my emails and text messages right away. - 2 months ago

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I think every first date needs to be different but I will generalize. I think starting off some where fun like events, parks, or beaches to chat and learn about one another. Then head to a coffee shop to warm up sitting next to the fire. Then head out to eat if we feel up to it. Ask if she would like to ride on my motorcycle. Stop some where romantic chat for away then drive her home.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
That I like the outdoors, I can chat about anything over a cup of coffee. She will learn about me and what I like to do and then she will learn how much I love riding my motorcycle.

Would you date me?
