probably my greatest friend is an ex of mine. we didnt work when we were together, but as friends, nothing could come between us. no matter what, i can rely on her at anytime to be there for me, be it help, support, or just to get drunk and dance around like idiots. however, seeing her with another guy when i was still single hurt like hell, but because i knew i had no chance at rekindling the fire, i gritted my teeth together and beared it. best thing i ever did in regards to the relationship.
just remember - just like you, she has a love life, and just because you two are talking/becoming friends, doesnt mean she'll put it on hold. ask yourself this - would you put it on hold?
communication is the key as previously said. the more you take time to become comfortable around them as friends, the greater the friendship can become. all this relying on their efforts aswell, as if its only you making an effort - you're pushing shit uphill.
