“Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”.
Is it possible to be friends with an ex? I personally believe that it is possible to be friends with an ex, it just has to be done in the right way. Not all romantic relationships were made to last forever and just because it does not work out, does not mean you have to lose that person completely. Sometimes, there is no bad blood but more of you and your partner just simply realising that you are not compatible anymore.

Once your relationship has ran its course, it is in the best interest of both parties to spend some time apart from each other before trying to be friends. This space and time apart is essential because it will help clear the air of any tension that has been left behind as a result of the split. After you’ve both taken enough time off, you and your ex should have a talk to discuss whatever grudges you may have so that you both can start gaining closure. If you are ever going to be able to have a functioning friendship, you need to let go of whatever unresolved issues there may be. As most people may know, the early stage of a breakup is meant for personal healing and recovery and this is not something can be forced or rushed.

what is your view on this, is it really possible to stay as friends without crossing the line

I will feel uncomfortable, regrets will keep on blarring in my mind like an alarm. For me I can't be her friend. there will always be something in me dat likes her so it's beta I avoid her.

It is possible..but like u said, its better to spend some time apart so u can both get over the hurt/feelings. I doubt if u can be best buddies but the relationship could be cordial.

i tell any woman i date that if it doesn't work out i will not be her friend now will i keep her number because it would give the person who is still in love false hope that it can be worked out.

The only way i would be friends with an ex is if i want to keep fncking her while not being committed to her

I think it'd be better to find reasons not to remain friends and save urslf from the numerous stress that accompanies break-ups.. Than try 2 believe ''everytn will b aii'' and find urslf entagled in a web later on..
And this doesn't mean u both should turn into enemies either..
I knw of a friend who gives her ex ''consolation sex'' very often becos ''she doesn't want 2 lose his friendship''.. Quite pathetic.
