Even just talking as "freinds" after moving on, I dont think anything will come of it.. your not likely to really become freinds anyway. Maybe some small talk now and then yea

I don't try and stay friends afterward, but I'm not going to ignore them.

I've had many exs that I don't talk to for a long time after the break up but somehow I've always gotten back in touch with them and then it doesn't end well lol. It's a waste if you ask me. I think it's better to just not talk to them or see them ever again. It's easier

Yeah, I'm talking to one right now, starting that FB/texting trend is really bad. I got myself into a mess. I just don't want to tell her to fuck off because she is an emotional wreck....fml.

Already said: No truer words have ever been spoken.
S/he is an ex. for a reason: It didn't work out, you have to move on.

Im still friends with some exes, not on a regular basis, but I work on their cars (for money) and see them out on occasion, sometimes we will even ask each other advise on present relatioships. Depends on why we broke up and how they act now.

i still talk to a few of my Ex's. not very often, but we keep in touch

Don't think there's a definite rule on this subject. All depends on how was the break-up, why did it end etc.
I don't try to contact or keep in touch with any of my ex's, but sometimes it inevitable since we have mutual friends.
Personally I'm on good terms with all of them except one. What I mean by this is that if I run into them here and there I'll say hello and the usual social politeness.
And if we're at the same party I have no problems with any of them being there too. But that's it. Contact beyond this I don't do.
Think I've been lucky, since none of my ex's are the infamous "psycho ex" that seem to be the bane of many guys existance.

Definitely depends on the situation of the split...Usually its a waste of time, but there are a few ex's I definitely still talk to.

i personally dont see a big problem with it. you get feedback, someone to talk to. especially if it ended well :)

bad things from my experience... we each have our own though.

not necissarily a bad thing if youre single, however, if you are currently with someone you must put yourself in the so's shoes. How would you feel if s/he were talking to an ex?

Yea I agree exes arent good to talk to either way, but experience will not develope if mistakes arent made. ferrari didnt build a winner the first time around.

I agree. Ex's usually shouldn't be talked to while you're with someone else. If they find out then there most likely will be a problem. If you end up doing shit with the Ex then there will probably be a problem haha. You might think it's just friendship but between Ex lovers, one usually has sex in their mind.

Yeah, there's no 'just friends' after you've been intimate with someone, no matter how much you/they lie to your/themselves.

I tried to be friends with my ex-wife after having been split up for 4 years. Nope. Ended up in the sack and then broke up again within 2 months.

I even contacted an ex from 12 years ago, back in 05. Met up, hung out for a weekend, ended up in bed, split within 2 months.

2 other chicks I dated back in HS, I keep in contact with, through myspace or whatever, but it's not like we talk at length or anything or see each other.

There is a reason they are ex's.

This.

Most of the time i try NOT to talk to an ex, like everyone else said it usually ends bad, again.
But i also know some people who are close as hell w. exes and its perfectly normal/fine to them. Just really situational and varies by maturity of the person, some people dont understand "JUST BE FRIENDS" or cant break old habits to get to that plutonic relationship.
