Sometimes you may have dated someone who was almost exactly like you or you both had the same interest or sense of humor. However, dating just didn't seem to work out for you two. Can you still be friends with an ex? Or does it just make things hella awkward because you two used to kiss and hold hands and stuff?
My answer is that it depends and I've had experience with both. Some relationships are just better as friends and others you just can't be friends.
The first experience was with my first real boyfriend. Him and I still today are good friends and talk a lot. We both still joke around with each other and such. I feel also that things between the two of us work better as friends as opposed to a couple. When we dated there would always be super awkward moments in the relationship.
I believe a huge part of why our friendship is because there was closure and we can talk to each other as civilized people instead of arguing and accusing one another for the breakup.
Another one of my exes, however, I avoid as much as I can. He still makes me angry and I know he doesn't like to be around me. We had a fairly bad breakup and therefore being friends after just wasn't an option. You kind of have to gage if you can be friends with your ex. If you don't ever really get over them, friendship isn't an option, but if you both are over each other then friendship is an option.
