Reality BITES!

After a breakup, this has got to be the question that is most often asked. And more often than not, it is the one who leaves that asks that question.

The right answer? A resounding NO.

Okay, well maybe it is possible – but it takes time. As long as you still love a person, as long as you have even the slightest bit of romantic feelings, you cannot be friends. Sure, at the moment you may feel like everything is okay…but let me tell you, the time will come when things will get all screwed up and it is going to hurt like hell.

It is really just an excuse to hold on to someone. It’s just a way of delaying the inevitable – that things are really over. In the long run, it just makes matters worse.

So it doesn’t matter how emotionally mature you think you are. It doesn’t matter what your reasons are for being “friends”. If you really want to move on, then no, you cannot still be friends. At least not yet.
