I also think that it depends on whether or not you were friends before you started dating. If you really weren't and just dated, then its almost impossible to go back to something that you never had. If you had a good friendship with the person to begin with, then its possible to get it back
yes..i agree w/ that. i also think that they'll never go back to being CLOSE friends unless its a few years down the road and both are dating or married.
