Ok, so you broke up, why can't people stay friends? I mean you liked each other enough to have sex, to hang out for how ever long, share some dreams, share your past, go thru some tough times together, why is it I think this applies to guys more than girls, why can't they stay friends with us, why does it have to be a bad break up?

Lady,You know break-up hurts and sometimes girls feel like after this I can still enjoy what I use to have with him.But we guys go like "huh" you hurt me and wanna be a friend still.no this can't be.It takes a few guys to do this.We feel like you people are taking us for a ride after a break-up by proposing friendship and we think that should never happen.have a nice day!

Question Asker What if the guy did the breaking up and the girl is the one willing to be friends? He was the asshole, but is willing to forgive and be friends? then what? - A month ago
Answerer Woah, I see where you going to.i have three ex's and they all left me and proposed friendship and turn them down cos I felt it was like taking me for a ride after the break-up.But if I leave you and you wanna be my friend I won't give way to it because it will be like keeping you in a prion where you can move on without me.When I leave you I expect you to hit your way and be your self and not have me in your life to be day dreaming comebak - A month ago

Because someone wanted the break-up, and someone more than likely did not. The person who did not will still love the other person, and remaining friends is the last thing they want from that person.

Over time, when both people have found someone, I think being friends again is possible.

Not to mention the end of a relationship usually involves hurtful words being thrown back and forth.

Question Asker What if it is the person who got dumped who is willing to remain friends? I mean why would the other person who did the dumping not be game? Lets just say it wasn't a bad break up, it was do to circumstances beyond either parties immediate control. - A month ago
Answerer Well the person who got dumped would be upset right? But if they were willing to be friends I would suspect it is because they are hoping for a second chance another time. Well if it was due to other circumstances that couldn't be controlled, I guess it makes sense to stay friends. - A month ago

It does not mean it is a bad break up it just means they moved on. Guys are different than us girls, most of the guys can't be friends anymore because it will remind them how you two were and they might come back to like you again or so. I know it is hard to understand how guys are sometimes, but we just have to accept that fact. Not all guys are like that thou.

It should also be the person being dumped decision though because they usually just had a shock and doesn't know what they are thinking or feeling in my whole life no guy who dumped me ever initiated being friends and I normally do it hoping for the second chance I have gotten it once and the others I am friends with if they mean it a lot of times they agree because they are trying to lesson the blow and really don't want you part of thier life then it is like breaking up all over again because all the time you vested with this person they don't want any part of you.

The last two breakups of this year want to be friends I am unsure if they are trying to alleviate their guilt or genuinely want it one I think does he will I'm me if he doesn't hear from me for a couple of weeks but hey it you are meant to be in each other's lives it will happen when the timing is right lol another cliche lol.

Sometimes people cnt get back to being friends.
When you loved something for so long its hard to let go.
Not everyone can do it.
i kno a lot of my x's couldn't.
Only a few could but they still say they still lyk me.
It's just hard to make that rebound expeccially wen some break-ups are not what both people wanted.
