there are four of us in our circle of friends. we really enjoyed each other's company. we had fun and just hang out together like kids. but that was before one of the two girls and i got in a relationship. we did not last long because we felt we were better to be just friends. but things were not the same after. we had the chance to have a reunion last friday. and the meeting was so awkward. i know she felt the same, so as the other two. she didn't stay long. and that was when the three of us had real fun. am i rude? how do you deal with such situation? thanks in advance.

Hey! Can I ask something? Are you my ex? LOL We have the same story! But it happened to me 3 years ago. It's really awkward but that's part of it. It's either you choose not to be friend of her or want to stay as friend. It's not rudeness. You just show to her what you really feel and I practically appreciate that gesture to a man. The first time I saw my ex I also feel awkward. We also rarely look at each other. But its all natural But now it changed since we have talked already and decided to be friends. It's just a matter of deciding benx. Goodluck!

maybe...nah, i can't be. it happened early this year. it was really a challenge for me to face her and pretend to every one else that i am ok. but i'll get over it soon. thanks for the reply.

sorry this happened. The friendship itself should have been more important than the relationship that didn't work. Maybe as time goes on this will be the case. When we were younger, I ended up dating my best friends brother. We were all in the same circle and we dated for a couple of years. Yes, it was very awkward when we split and moved on. For a time , it did change our little group. It's been years now and my best friend now is still my best friend and her brother is right up their tops on my list. it all worked out. We had far too many great memories of times spent together to let anything stand in the way of our friendship. hope you guys work it out.

i also had a relationship where we broke up because we thought we were better to be just friends. but it really was a lot worse afterwards because we felt awkward with each other. because of that, we didn't talk for a pretty long while. but when i decided to finally ask her to go out again to see if we could still be friends, i noticed that the awkwardness faded with time. maybe you just also need some time to adjust back.
