1. Time is the all-important factor. One needs to put the past behind them and feel as if they have moved on to another chapter in their lives. If one person is still in love and wants the relationship to continue, time must separate the two, until that person realises that he or she is moving on in life without the other as a special, intimate companion.

2. No sex please, we are just friends. Don’t even think about sex with the ex. You’ll be back where the troubles all began.

3. Avoid talking with your ex about your old relationship when you are trying to be friends.

4. There may be some attraction left, at least for one of you. Maintain some discipline with each other, especially at the beginning of the friendship. Limit how much time you spend together, how long should phone calls last and what kind of questions are asked.

5. Don’t talk about who you are dating now. – at least not until you are at the point where you are completely comfortable as friends.

6. Avoid the old behavioral patterns that defined your romantic relationship. No holding hands or gazing!

How to determine whether or not you are friends or more than friends

This is such a tricky topic, because many people (guys and girls to be exact) normally engage in an intimate moment every now and then, this usually sparks up some commotion of whether or not the two that are “hooking” up are more than just friends. A few things you can do to figure out whether or not you and someone are together are to discuss the facts with each other. If you and the person you are hooking up with have other qualities, then it’s definitely possible to be both mentally compatible along with physically compatible. People who go along the lines of “friends with benefits” know what I am talking about because there usually is mostly physical attraction between the two of you.
One problem that many girls usually face when they are involved in a friends with benefits type thing is they are categorized a sluts or whores, this can be the case because if you are having sex without protection, it can cause many more problems down the road, unless you are having the people you are having sex with tested for STD’s. The younger the person, the better chances you have, because the statistics show that older people are more prone to sexually transmitted diseases, but if you’re in college it’s always safe to be tested.

One of the larger problems that engage in this situation is fooling around with someone who is already in a relationship, this is known as cheating. One thing that revolves around the problem is if a girl is very good friends with a guy while she is dating another guy. If she is messing around with her good friend then she could screw things up with her boyfriend and even her friend, so you should definitely discuss with your friend before engaging in any type of intimacy. I would highly recommend that you don’t, unless you are single. The problems that are caused by situations like these are usually unfixable.
