So they were a nice person but it just wasn't working.

What is the hardest part about staying friends with your ex?

Is it really rare to be friends with an ex?

HECKS No. Well it actually depends on the individuals really. I tried hard to be "friends" with my ex. But than I couldn't stand knowing that he was with another girl. He told me straight up when he broke up with her he was all happy to be single. Telling me how their relationship was mostly lust and stress didn't last too long. Now me and him are in the process of getting back together. I'm praying I don't get my heart broken again though.

I think it really depends on the people in regards as to if you can be friends with an EX.

I really don't think that its possible and I think that it is pointless. Here are a couple of reasons why I think that is so

1) If you can't clear away your past, it makes it a heck of a lot harder to find someone new

2) You can be holding onto them without even knowing it

3) You have to be emotionally strong when you find out that they get a new partner

4) You both could be in denial for a really long time

Good things about being friends with your ex

1) You know and understand each other well

2) You have been through a lot together

3) You can be mature and move on and live happily ever after.

But with that I said I still go with the first option. Which runs along the lines of. You broke up for a reason, and now its time to move on and give someone else a chance.

Hope this helps

I think that the hardest part (for me personally) was when he dated the first girl after me. We were friends and talked to each other a lot so I thought that I was completely over him but that hit me like a semi truck. I didn't want to imagine him kissing and hugging and laughing with another girl. After awhile it got easier and they broke up anyway but now when he talks about other girls I don't care. Although it seems like he likes to tell me girls that he likes, but he sways off the subject when I tell him about guys I like. Oh well, I'm just glad I've moved on to better things. :)

Guys: Do you really fall in love with a girl?
lvrgirl2011 asked 19 hours ago

Yes, I've been in love.

No, I've never been in love.

I'm scared to love someone.

LOVE is an over-used word that doesn't have meaning.

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
An ideal first date would be pretty casual and fun, just getting to know each other. Something simple like going to the movies and dinner, or going to a concert, or maybe just even hanging out somewhere kind of romantic. I'd wear something like jeans and a cute top--nice but not fancy. It'd end with a nice walk back home, and maybe a goodnight kiss if things go well :)

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
He'd know what I'm like, my personality, how I normally act. He'd also probably know about what I'm interested in, what I want to do in the future, and maybe a bit of background stuff. Basically just what it would be like to be with me and get to know what it's like being around me.

Would you date me?
