1. Emotional recovery stage: In the early stages of a breakup, due to significant emotional fluctuations, it is often difficult to immediately transition into a friendship relationship. Both parties need time to deal with their emotions, accept the fact of the breakup, and may experience a period of distance or avoidance of contact.
2. Personal willingness and respect: Whether one can become friends depends on the personal willingness and mutual respect of both parties. If both parties can approach the breakup with a mature attitude, are willing to continue dating without romantic feelings, and can maintain appropriate boundaries, then being friends is possible.
3. Communication and Consensus: Both parties need to communicate openly and understand each other's expectations and boundaries for the relationship after a breakup. If both parties can reach a consensus on this point and are willing to work hard to maintain this friendship, then even after breaking up, they can still maintain a friendly relationship.
