Not necessarily but it depends on the situation. I am not friends with my exes that I dated for over a year because we know too much about each other to even be friends and it is a bit awkward. But I am still friends with the ones I dated for less than six months but we do not hang out, just hi here and there when I see them. Plus, I am dating someone for over three and half years and my exes do not want to hear about my relationship and etc since they are still single and I was their last real relationship..

in my case, i'm not friends with my exes. we just lost touch, and the other ex already has a family. but how can you be friends with an ex who "used" you for personal "gains"?

honestly, i think there can be no real friendship after a break up. it would be awkward... really awkward to think that you would still be hanging out with the person you probably cannot stand anymore - hence you broke up with him.

yes it can be....depending on the situation on how you broke up...in my case, i really do have one ex who is still my friend today...i am even a godmother of his child...having friends with your ex is proving that what happened between the two of you was all over already...and each of you has to start a brand new life...you dont have to make enemies our of your exes...

One of my best friends is an ex. I don't find him sexually attractive and we both have long term relationships so I don't see a problem there. We communicate very well, we laugh and have fun so I don't even think about it. On the other hand, I have tried being friends with another ex but he showed he still had feelings for me even though he left me years ago so I tried to keep him in distance. It's not that I don't care about him, it's that I feel that if we are together often he might assume I give him the 'green light' and I don't want to give the wrong impression. so, overall, I think that under the right circumstances, exes can be friends and even good friends.
