It can definitely be done. . .the other has to want to be friends, too. That's the major thing! They have to not threaten a restraining order (seriously, I was feeling good and just wanted to say hi and ask how the guy was doing - in the army, he told me he was washing a tank that day - believable - and I believed it, had no clue he was in town - didn't try to find him) and he threatened a restraining order!

My other relationships, we would've stayed friends if we just hadn't lost contact (moving, changing schools, etc.)

Of course, IMO, always helps to date and have no sex - friendship is much easier that way.

Some people over react to good intentions. It is hard to understand why two people who once loved or cared for one another can actually stop caring.

Of all my breakups, I think one has been a 'friendship' once the dust settles. It's not like we hang out alot together, but we can be civil towards each other. Which, I guess is not too terribly bad...the rest there is no talking, and just avoidance when we encounter each other. :/
