I had this girlfriend “K”. K was always breaking up with me over something or just overall being distant. She, today, told me she’s not good at showing affection and is not ready to have a boyfriend. She said she would like to be good friends with me, though. :)
This really depends. Were you friends before? Then cool, get back to it, if you aren’t going to be pining after them.
It does not matter why she really broke up with you, it only matters if you can, well, friend-zone her as well. If YOU think also that y’all are better off as friends. It has to be mutual or you may feel heartbroken.
What does?
The success of a friendship with an ex lover.
OP never questioned whether the friendship would be a success.
