I think amicable breakups usually take time. I don't know of many cases where two people have broken up and have immediately been able to switch to being just friends.

I tried to immediately be friends when my ex-girlfriend and I broke up. I was kidding myself immensely. I had given her a hard time about it because every time I saw her, she acted so (obviously) awkwardly, and then I realized how hard it was for the two of us to try and communicate with one another. It just didn't feel at all like time was on my side.
All of this occurred around the time the posts on this thread were made. We went awhile without talking, limiting ourselves to nods and waves (after completely avoiding each other for a period of time). Recently though she's been kind of involving me a bit more in her life, and I honestly don't know what to make of that now. Our breakup was so ambiguous I couldn't even tell you officially why it happened. Supposedly it had nothing to do with me and her claim was that she needed to "live life to the fullest" and that she was too young for what we had (whatever that meant, considering she's 21...), which apparently meant having sex with some monoexpressive walking cliché of a music major (and no, this isn't some generalization I have about music majors, but I know what the particular ones to which I refer represent...). I'm going off on a tangent here.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
