A romantic relationship, unfortunately, often ends in a serious conversation, at the end of which you hear a proposal to leave. Guys rarely strive to maintain a friendly relationship with a girl with whom they cannot have sex - that is their nature. Therefore, the work of transferring the relationship to another plane should be undertaken by the girl.
Instructions
Step 1
Evaluate if friendship is possible between you. If your relationship with a guy was based only on passion and sex, after breaking up, you are unlikely to become friends - most likely, after several passionate "relapses" of the relationship, you will finally quarrel. But if your relationship was humanly warm, sincere and open, you have a chance to remain friends.
Step 2
When parting, behave correctly, with dignity and culture. Don't insult the guy, don't try to hurt him or throw a tantrum. Restrain yourself even if you have something to say. Forgive the guy - this is necessary to maintain a friendly relationship, tell him that he is great, but you better break up.
Step 3
If the breakup was initiated by your lover, do not try to start to sort things out - the guys really do not like this. By reproaches and complaints, you will only infuriate him and completely miss the chance to get a good friend. If you want to speak out - do it alone or write a letter, which then needs to be destroyed.
Step 4
Don't try to use friendships to repair a relationship. Whoever initiated your breakup, the guy should take the first step. But if you feel that your ex only wants sex, you better refuse, otherwise you will feel used.
Step 5
As you begin to communicate in a friendly way, avoid situations and words that can be stimulating. If you only want to be friends, you don't need a sexy touch in a relationship. Do not meet, especially at first, alone. Chat in a cafe, with mutual friends, etc. Control your emotions and thoughts - you shouldn't allow yourself to think of your ex as a sexual partner. Your subconscious mind will give these thoughts with gestures and facial expressions, and your friend on a subconscious level "reads" them.
Step 6
Respect his privacy and don't let your ex-boyfriend interfere with yours. If you withstand this test with dignity, then you have every chance to maintain friendship for a long time.
