| We started dating and things didn't work out...does anyone else believe in being friends after a failed relationship?

| you can still be friends. In my personal experience, it hasn't worked out if the relationship was a long-term one. If it was only 3 months or less, there was less poured into the relationship therefore less of a resentment factor.

| it depends on what went wrong with the relationship. it's good if you can still be friends.

| That a great question. For me I personally hate dating women who have ex-boyfriends as friends. At the same time I never keep my ex-gf as friends.
Now if you don't care if your new bf has ex-girlfriends as friends then keep you ex's as friends, but if it does bother you like it bother me, then it best you don't.

| Its not possible because once feelings are involved it makes it impossible and why would you want to remain friends after the relationship failed?

| I'm not sure, but I believe you had a post last week that explained how something happened between you two and you were not sure how things would play out.
I am assuming that you want to stay friends (and he'd rather not). If so, then there is nothing you can do.
I won't tell you to "forget it and move on". I would only ask that you look back and ask yourself if there was something differently you could have done. Maybe you rushed in too soon, or your excitement got ahead of you. Sometimes we move so fast that we don't think and often do something that we never intended to happen.
The worst thing you could do is keep calling, emailing, texting him. Let it go and see what he does.

| Don't try. Let it happen if it's gonna.
Wanting something too much usually ruins it or makes it run like sand through our clutching grip. Even when we do get what we wanted so badly. Especially then.

| When you have strong feelings for someone, sometimes its hard to be friends. Too many emotions.

| As long as no one lied, cheated or played the other, if the magic for a connect wasn't there dont mean you cant have a friendship, but it does take both sides to feel the same way about the relationship
