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

Coming from a guy's perspective,





I figure that you broke up with him right? And not the other way around?


Since this happened, he still likes you but he knows it's over. He doesn't want to think about you anymore and he wants to move on with his life.





That's why he doesn't msn you or talk to you on the phone anymore. He's afraid that if he does, he'll start falling for you, leading him into something that can never be.





I don't really know how he'll react if you ask him yo spend more time together. Depending on how long ago you guys broke up, he might take it the wrong way and think that you want to get back together. If it's been a while, just casually invite him in a group activity. Maybe get a few guys and girls to go to the movies... do things where there's not too much opportunity for you guys to get awkward. You don't want to be in a situation where you guys are both just thinking about how it used to be... (unless you do want to get back together)





See how he feels when you ask him, if he doesn't want to talk to you yet, give him more time.
