Though she split with Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp in December, Rihanna and her ex were seen leaving Stringfellows Nightclub in London around 2 a.m. last Wednesday.  According to UsMagazine.com, the singer partied with Kemp and other pals during a break from her “Loud” concert tour.  After the breakup last winter, Kemp said, “She’s a good friend of mine.  We’re good. We’ve all got busy lives, and we’re concentrating on our careers.”

How do you get to the point where you can “hang out” with your ex partner?

Cupid’s Advice:

If you didn’t have an ugly breakup and it just didn’t work out, look at this experience as an opportunity to make friends with your ex partner.  Here are some signs that you’re ready to form a friendship with your ex:

1.  When you can talk about your dates: Being able to talk about your dates with an ex without feeling jealous or awkward is a huge sign that you’re safely in the friend zone.

2.  When you like them more now: Maybe breaking up was just what you needed to discover that you’re better as friends.

3. When you see them differently: In pursuing a friendship with an ex, you may grow to see them completely differently to the point where you sometimes forget that you were ever an item.

How you ever become “just friends” with someone after dating them? Share your experience below.

    I don’t even think that will work on us. I just hate him so
    much for cheating! What a bastard, doesn’t even deserve to be my friend.

  • jessica S

    I think it’s a good idea. Keeping your friendship alive and
    not being so bitter about your past relationship. 

  • Ally

    I kinda agree with you there, its good to be friends with
    your ex’s but it’s really up to you if you’re ready to forgive an forget
    everything.

  • Jake Heirs

    It’s not a good thing at all. After you, being hurt by the
    person you love, worst if he cheats on you. You will look like a dumb in front
    of everyone if once again seen by some friends.

    Well, if I’m already moved on that’s the time to gather on
    our friendship, so that I can forget everything and just live the way it was
    before him.

  • Arn Swank

    Yeah! It’s so weird
    when you become friends with an ex; but it can be fun especially when you are
    on the safe zone of being just friends.

    An old flame can
    actually be exciting to talk to; especially if you both talk about past
    blunders which can be quite funny to reminisce.

    Actually, it could
    be kinda awkward talking to an ex or being friends; it’s just too complicated
    to even consider.
     

  • Arghylle Humphrey

    Yeah Jared it could
    really be hard especially if you both are in other relationships. But if you
    have kids; it is better to be friends and parents to the kids. 
     

  • Bruce Swanke

    I totally agree
    with both of you… but it will come to a point where you can really b e
    friends. Life is too short to burn bridges anyway.
     

  • Patrick Smith

    Well I don’t believe that exes should ever be friends anyway… It doesn’t work for me…

  • Avril White

    That’s true Patrick. When you cut; cut clean… Don’t say, can we be friends? coz that’s absurd…

  • Perry Schuck

    Well I think exes can actually be civil to one another. It takes time to finally be comfortable with each other’s presence without feeling any angst or indifference. 

  • Meredith Davis

    Yeah well I think it probably depends on how you ended the relationship. If it was a mutual decision and there’s no third party involved, then I guess it would be much easier than dealing with an ex asshole boyfriend.
