I use the Band-Aid analogy. Better to just rip it off in one quick painful yank then slowly torturing yourself slowly pulling it loose. Since you aren't so crazy about this break-up being around her and seeing her with other guys will drive you crazy. Better to give yourself some time to heal and create a life without her. After you are centered and your emotions are in check (at least six months I would say) then if you still want her as a good friend contact her and go from there. I've gone through this before and tried both remaining friends and the wait and see thing. Invariably staying away for a while and getting myself in order was the better choice. Sorry about your break-up. Hope everything turns our alright.
