Any tips on how to make sure I stay friends with him? And how to make it not awkward?

Okay, so me and my bf broke up recently and we decided to be friends. however before we started going out we hardly ever saw each other in school cos we hang out with different people and only have one class together.


when we were in the flirting/friends stage he used to hang out with me at lunchtimes and find me after school and we'd always be doing stuff at weekends...going to each others houses, the cinema, into town..and then we'd text/talk on the phone/talk on msn.


now (even though we both want to be good friends) it just seems awkward and we've both gone back to our different friendship groups. so i only ever see him in one class and even then we're not sat near each other. he doesnt come on msn any more and we dont text/talk on the phone like we used to. im afraid we wont even be friends and we'll just drift apart. i know he still really likes me and so i can be pretty certain he doesnt want that either.


how can we spend more time together? is it a bit early after the break up to suggest seeing each other at the weekend?


do you think if we did this i should invite a few more people so its not just us two?


oh and how should i ask him?


any other tips on how not to make it awkward? cos i miss how we used to be. thanks - i just dont want to be an average friend to him, i want to be a good friend. :)


p.s he was the one who finished with me and asked to be just friends. so yes i am very hurt but i'd like to be friends with him too. i know what im doing and i dont need time away from him and i dont want to find another guy so soon either.


thanks for any help!Any tips on how to make sure I stay friends with him? And how to make it not awkward?
