New to this so humour me if this is a rehash of an old topic... Just wanted to get the opinion of people ... If you've slept with someone and things don't work out, is it realistic to expect that you can still be friends? And I mean real friends where you can be there for each other without messing it up with physical intimacy... Realistic? What do you think?

If you both made a mistake, and both feel that it was a mistake, and both still wanna be friends, then yes.
Or if you both did it for recreational purposes, or to fill a short-term need that is no longer present then yes.
If one of you still fancies the other, or is looking for a repeat, or has feelings, then probably not.
I got a call from a friend, just wanting me to come over for the weekend, for some adult type stuff. We both went into the weekend knowing it was purely recreational. It did not cahnge our relationship at all. I doubt if my new wife would understand this, but my old friend and I would not be repeating this now I am married.

I find the more passionate the relationship the harder it is to be friends afterwards. With a highly charged relationships there is often a lot of emotion which can be quite distructive. If you were simply not suited then it is possible.

I think in order to be able to have true and lasting friendship with your ex is by making sure that both of u have gotten over each other. You need a break from each other and make sure that you have cleared all the residual feelings and memories.Personally, i am still friends with my ex and it has grown into a meaningful and hopefully lasting friendship. It's a pity if you have to lose a friendship with someone to whom you have shared moments in your life together and maybe he/ she knows you well as an individual. So, in conclusion, ex lovers can still be friends, of course it will depend on the reason of the break up.
cheers~
