I think it's important to have a period right after you break up where you distance yourself from them for about a month. However I think it's healthy to stay friends or at least acquaintances with the person. It has always worked in my favor.
This is a tricky one. I am currently dating a guy who seems the need to remain friends with everyone he's ever dated. I struggle with it because I was married for 13 years. And I don't really have anyone to remain friends with. I guess, though, if the tables were turned and I was able to remain friends with someone that I dated I would think that it was ok. As long as there aren't any chances that you might rekindle an old romance. If you're remaining friends because you truly want to be friends and nothing else then yes. But if either person has an interest in getting back together or if there are left over feelings I would have to say that it wouldn't be healthy for the new relationship for you to remain friends.
I agree with you. At one time I didn't think it would be ok but I realized that there's no sense in throwing away a friendship. We have fewer true friends than we think! - 6 days ago

I guess it ok do you guys think it harder to be friends if you dated for a short term or a long time like say 3 or 4 years.
I think it's ok. As long as there are no feelings there. I'm friends with an ex and when he was with his last girlfriend we just talked as friends. Why miss out on knowing a good person if you don't have to? :-)
Yeah it is defiantly ok I'm great friends with one of my exs like its scary how good we get on ever since we ended we stayed great friends and he has a new girlfriend and he tells me about there problems and I listen and it never gets weird but I'm just the kind of person who can stay friends so it does depend on the people but yeah its defiantly ok and great if it works
It should be OK provided that both people are subject to the same rules. If there is a double standard involved, then it can become a major issue. That seems most likely to occur when one party is jealous or controlling. That person may have a history of dealing with a partner who couldn't be trusted. It could be just a temporary misunderstanding and reason will eventually prevail - or you may be faced with a choice between maintaining old ties and the new relationship. If you try unsuccessfully to point out a double standard, it can become a case of jealousy breeding jealousy. Best to get everything out on the table, because people can be good at filling in what it is that the other is not saying. I agree it is tricky.

How do they typically respond?
If she is interested, she would ask questions, or make small talk while giving off some type of body language.
If she is not interested, she listens to whatever I say, and tells me something like she really into someone right now, but she appreciates the approach.
