Ok...I can bottom line this real quick. 97% of all relationships cannot end in "friendships". There's too much history there most of the time and one of you is kidding youself. Usually this agreement is based upon the fact that one person doesn't want to be in a relationship but they still want to feel "wanted" by the opposite sex. The result? He or she will end up flirting with you to no avail just to validate their appeal to an opposite sex. No, they won't "give up the goods", but they'll string you along for all it's worth to make themselves feel better. This, I've found, is more common in women than it is in men.

My advice...drop her on her ass. Once you're not around she won't feel validated so she'll either start calling you to reconcile, start trolling the bars like a tramp for a rebound, or suffer her own private hell not knowing if anyone wants her or not. Either way, you shouldn't be a part of this. If she really wanted to break up with you, she'd let sleeping dogs lie. If she can't, it's a strong indication that she's insecure about the situation and not sure if she did the right thing. Take the high road and avoid all of the trivial bullshit she'll try and lay on you because you were, at one time, an item. This is easier said than done, but in the end it's much better for you to pretend to hardly know her. But then again what do I know? My ex cheated on me and tried to use me for emotional support until she found a new guy. Let this be a warning to you all.
