Neither situation is healthy. If you were going to be such good friends you wouldn't have broken up.

That's not completely true either James. Some people, like myself, have been involved in relationships that were not the right "timing". Year later, and with frienship continued, it opens the door to the right timing and possibly more.
Furthermore, some people date for such a short amount of time because they realize they're not romantically compatible, yet can be mature enough to stay friends. I guess that's the underlying factor: how mature enough is the person to continue with a friendship?
