I concur with Mommyofthree, on this one. It can be hard to remain friends once you have changed the dynamics of a friendship to dating. Sometimes if a dating relationship just doesn't pan out...you may not be able to save your friendship. Sometimes, there simply is no real friends in former dating partners-there's usually just one wounded person and one guilty one. Best to think this through.

Good luck, dear

mommyofthree agony auntIn many cases it is hard to maintain a friendship after a relationship gone sour. Thats not to say it has never been done but it is very hard to get over whatever made the relationship not work, and in the end some people just can't do it. You need to tak to her and see what she thinks. If you are mutually attracted to each other you may find it hard to just be friends any way. Good luck.
