Hmmm, well I'm usually the one who feels SOOO awkward around an ex for the longest. It usually takes me like a year before things can get COMPLETELY back to normal.
Honestly, exes can make some of the best friends because you have such a rich history and you know so much about each other. One in particular has called me on several occasions asking advice for his new relationship, and I've been more than happy to try and help out. The same one was there for me as a shoulder to cry on when I got ditched by my homecoming date last year!
(He talked all night about "kicking that punk's @$$" and it made me feel much better, not to mention the laugh. hehe.) It can become a mutual caring process if you let it. Exes can be fun to just hang out with and talk to...after a while of course, when each other KNOWS exactly where the other stands.
Know what I mean?
