Yeah. We still have fun together. No one has cheated or done anything wrong. It just seems we werent on the same page as far as the sex part. I mean I was fine with the whole thing. She wanted more a heated passion situation. But there is no resentment.
I don't think you can go from a dating/sexual relationship to friends without some time and space apart. I also don't think you may be as fine with it as you say you are, since it wasn't your decision. That's obviously just a guess, but it feels like you'd be continuing a quasi-relationship in the hopes that maybe things will work out in your favour. Would you really be moving on with your life and be open to other possibilities if you're spending a lot of time with her?
I dated a guy from when I was 21 to 25. Things didn't work out. I agree with the posters that said that you need time and space before you can salvage a friendship. Once that happened, my ex and I became good friends and remain so even today.
