Hi Gammazetagrl! I think that is is possible for exes to become friends, but only after they have been broken up long enough so that neither party still has romantic interest in the other. This can take a long time depending on the nature of the former relationship and the circumstances of the break-up, etc.
What I think about asking your former s/o about his or her dating is this... It is alright to ask as long as you feel that you'll be okay no matter what the answer is. Otherwise, you are opening yourself up to the possibility of a world of hurt. Trust me sweetie, I am your elder and I know of what I speak!
