Remaining friends after being involved can be done if both parties are mature enough to accept "what was" and "what is". I think, and only an opinion...considering you state that you continue to hold hopes to again be with your friend, how can a new romantic relationship have a fair chance?

You and this ben guy sound like turds and I kind of feel sorry for the guy your moving in with.

Honestly I've never remained friends with girls I've slept with if the relationship never worked, it's way too wussiesh if you ask me. That and I never had to be "friends" with them either to get into their pants.

Hmmm, is a difficult scenario.

My ex likes to occupy friends with benefits territory with me.

But, in all honesty..it's difficult and as much as I love having her in my life - I am seriously considering removing her from my life. She's amazingly special, and I waited along time to meet her. I must hope that I can meet another, better person in my life now that will work even better.

In my experience, when the relationship starts from intimacy and turns into friendship, the friendship continues after the intimacy ends (after a healing period and assuming respect, continued contact, etc). When the relationship starts as a friendship and turns into intimacy, my personal experience is that the friendship has never returned. Never screw your friends.

I would have to say it's indeed quite a challenge to do such a thing, esp once you're feeling already got caught up in it all.
