Would you want to stay friends with a woman you dumped?

[Notfrommars]

Let’s say you broke a woman’s heart and let a little time go by-would you ever reach out to her to be friends or grab lunch? Why do you think a man would do that?

[provokeesmokee]

I mean, I tried to be friends with my ex girlfriend but it doesn't seem she's up for that. Which is fine - I was her first girlfriend after she came out, so I get it can be hard.

But, well, if she reached out to go for lunch, I'd still go with her.

She's a fun person, I know I'm not interested in a further romance, but I know we'd have enough in common to be good friends.

There was an LDR once, where she was feeling it more than I was. That, and her constantly disappearing without telling me was wearing me down. So when I realized that realistically, this other guy that lived practically in her back yard was a better fit, I told her she should give him a chance instead. Still kept her on. Turned out to be the best choice all three of us made. The two of them are happily married, I still have both as friends, and they have a beautiful daughter.

seen that in some, tried it. genearally doesn't work because of rebonding and need to make space for next, so learned not to.

why... because is uncomfortable to feel void in life. can be easy to be friend but seemingly impossible to be mate.

[Sweetsurprize]

No why?

You hurt their feelings. Why you think they have BRAIN DAMAGE and FORGOT what you did to them? !

If a guy did this to me I'd be like no way! Fuck them! I'm not some play thing!

I guess it would depend if there was still love there from one of the parties but I'd say it's generally a bad idea!

[coachTanthony]

Grab lunch then some sex maybe if she was any good but other than that nobody got time for that.

[Anonymous]

Men only thing about maybe sex with her latter! Not let's really be friends and latter be bestys

No sex ever... We think that way not men!

Yes I have been friends with my ex girlfriend and we make it work but another one is my friends with benefits cause we are both divorced and why not?

[Anonymous]

I’m not sure why a man would do this but I was recently broken up with and he got mad at me for not wanting to stay friends as well as continue to hangout.


Honestly if he wants to stay friends it’s probably to keep his foot in the door, keep up with what you are doing, or he wants some benefits from you.


If you break my heart. I’m not going to be your friend. Not sure that would be a healthy way to move on.

[Anonymous]

Most likely not. If I did, chances are it would be cause I’d like to hit that a few more times. But in general most women don’t offer much in the way of friendships to men.

[Kaamraj]

Only if she's willing to provide sex and emotional support without my commitment.

[WhitneySnow]

He probably feels bad and wants to make it up to her by being friends

[Nikki1989]

I am friends with all my exes except one. One of my exes is one of my very best friends.

[Jamie05rhs]

I would want to, but I wouldn't attempt to. Because I don't want to cause her any pain. I feel like the right thing to do is to leave her alone.

[Friendlybro79]

I would not do this. When it's over it's over. It's not to be mean it's so that we both can move on.

[sheikalana]

Most men will not befriend a woman that dumped them and I don't blame them.

[SolitarySolace]

No. All they'd talk about is how perfect their new partner is. It would destroy my self esteem which already isn't great

[jujus]

No not at all and even if it was for just sex would be awkward. I wouldn’t want any chance of that connection to rebuild

[Subflics]

If we were working it out. Otherwise no I'm moving on it only cause issues with future partner

[Kelly6]

I would like to be friends even if we broke up

[Sweetsurprize]

How pathetic.

[Anonymous]

Yes, but I would also understand if she wouldn't want that.

[DermalPunch]

To keep your pussy warm.

[jahaims]

No way, especially if she had feelings for me.

[spartan55]

Definitely for sex

[In_Trance]

No point
