From dating to friend?

When I was dating Flyman, I always assured him that if it didn't work out between us, we would stay friends.  I truly meant that.

However, after "breaking up" with him, I found myself in new waters again.  I had some difficulty to deal with that new form of relationship with him.  Of course what didn't help was the health worries.  Even if I had hoped we would continue skyping, we didn't video at all between the breakup and the visit at the clinic where we learned he was clean.  That was a 3-week hiatus.  We did chat by text only, but it was less...  friendly.

A few times he asked if we could meet, but I always declined.  We met for the first time after the break up the day we went at the clinic.  It was good seeing him and I think I was coming back to being friendly with him.

A week or two later he suggested to meet and I agreed.  However, some shit happened and I was not in the mood so I cancelled.

But over the weekend, I myself suggested to meet as friends during the week.  Sadly our schedules were incompatible.  We also videoskyped for the first time since the breakup, so I think that I'm on the right path to develop friendship with Flyman. (I don't think it is any problem for him though hahaha)

As a not totally unrelated sidenote...  my openness to develop a friendship with Flyman seems to coincide with my willingness to start dating again..... hmmmmmmm :-P
