Possible to remain friends with a guy after a physical relationship?

Yes, it is possible. I have done it. But it requires both people to be committed to keeping the friendship and respecting the boundaries.

AND, you can't drink when you're together, or use any other inhibition reducers, or console each other over fights with new SOs. I've had it happen once or twice, but it's always difficult and almost always one or the other gets hurt because deep inide they're nursing hope..

I have a friend who was a lot more than a friend about five years ago. The road to just friends has been bumpy to say the least. I refused to have a physical relationship with someone who says they just "don't feel that way about me" (meaning doesn't love me in a romantic way). However, I care about my friend, always have, and he seems to care about me. We are kind of like a grumpy married couple and we laugh and wrangle all the time. He has still not given up on getting something out of me that I don't want to give...so it is a constant battle.

Was it not good? I think the only real honest way it could work as friends is if you were intimate and you just didn't click and you both agree that it should never happen again. Then you can laugh about it and carry on as friends.

Were you friends before? If not, then you might just have to let this one go.

Possible but very difficult.

Bad idea

It's possible but from my experience, as soon as one of you gets into another relationship, the level of contact will reduce until there's none.

It would be hard considering that your attraction with the guy was a physical attraction. As friends, you may lose your 'worth' to him. So it's gonna be hard to be friends.

Oh yeah - this guy didn’t want commitment and that’s when I changed my mind. I do want to remain friends for years to come

Gosh then, talk to him, hang out with him. If you both enjoy that without having to become physically intimate....then there's your answer!

Have you told him that?

how long was the relationship? I am only friends with one girl i was with... and all we did was oral one friday evening.

Fuck that 🙄
