Most of the people, who where into some kind of relationship will prefer to be in pleasant terms with their ex, even after a break up. Though, it may not be easy but the possibility of healthy friendly relationship after moving out could not be overlooked. Sometimes, it may happen that you bump into your ex in a public place, pub or even a mall. Then in such case what would you do? Simply walk off, giving a cold look, ignore him/her or will try to exchange a few words? Well it’s up to you to make the choices. But it would be better that the relationship that had not worked could be transformed in a more friendly relationship.

Now the question arises that how to develop into friends with your ex?

We all know that time is the best healer. Just like any relationship needs time to grow and be nurtured, similarly this new dimension that you are trying to give to your ex will definitely take time. Patience is another virtue that will go hand in hand. The process of nurturing this new friendship should be from both the sides, other wise all the steps that had been taken will become futile.

Another important thing that has to be considered is that are you sure about this transformation. Try to pick up and collect yourself from the break up. Remember there should be no factor like patch ups once you have decide to give this relationship a new name and dimension- friendship.

Be clear and forthright about your intentions. See that your new friendship is healthy and not to mourn over the past. Another important factor is that, the friendship should not be to prevent him/her to date another person. Are your intention is to spy on him/her? If this is so, then it’s advisable not to make any further move, and to leave the relationship where it is and just to move on.

While giving the new relationship a new name, see that you have all positive feelings about your ex. There should be no ill feelings about each other. You can be in touch with each other occasionally. Enquire about their new life and can wish them on their birthdays or any important occasions too. Try to avoid any kind of flirtatious move. It’s okay to hang out with your ex, but see that you are not overdoing it.

So, you can try to be friends with your ex, if it’s approving from both the sides, otherwise its no use trying it.
