It's long been said that hindsight is 20/20. That's true in many instances including the end of a relationship. Many men who recently went through a break up with a girlfriend come out of it wishing they could have a second chance. Unfortunately, not all women view the situation the same way. Some women decide that they want to remain close after the split. Trying to be friends with a woman you are still in love with isn't easy. However, if your ex girlfriend wants to be friends that might actually be the first step you need to get her back in a more serious relationship in the future.

It's easy to let your feelings guide you into not considering the idea when your ex girlfriend wants to be friends. There is such a stark difference in the definition of a simple friend and a girlfriend that you may not feel you can emotionally handle seeing the woman you love in this context. It means not being able to express fully how you feel, no hand holding and absolutely no kissing. However, if you try and look at it from another perspective you can see that being her friend has one major advantage, and that's that you can still be an integral part of her life. You can position yourself as a non-threatening friend while you work towards your ultimate goal of getting her back .

The reason she asked you to stay friends with her is because she cares for you . You can use that to your advantage by respecting her wish. When your ex girlfriend wants to be friends don't fuss and complain about how you want more. Instead accept that she still has feelings for you and set out to become the best friend she has. Lend an ear and a hand anytime you can and make it clear that you support and respect her. Don't inundate her with requests to get back together and don't reminisce about the past. Let nature take its course and in time she'll start to look at you the way she used to. You need to rebuild her trust and appreciation and being her friend is the best possible way to do that.
