    Why would an ex contact you after a long period of no contact, to be friends?

    I'm assuming this has happened to you, OP?

    Loads of reasons; they want to be more than friends, they are nosey, they think you make a good friend and that enough time has passed that you can be just mates, they are thinking of you (drunk or sober), etc, etc, etc...

    Why don't you ask them?

    They want to meet and see if we can be friends. Looking at friends experiances, it rarely seems to be that simple and I would not like to lead them on.

    Maybe they just want to say Hi. Sometimes I know that I might think of an ex and want to say Hi, for no other reason. Usually I don't, in case the ex might think there is another reason, mind. Obviously though they have remembered you kindly, and you don't need to answer if you don't want to.... but I would , out of courtesy, and leave it at that!

    It all depends how you broke up, how long ago it was, where both of you are in your lives now. Some people do manage to stay friends with their exes, others don't. If in doubt, don't go there.
