I think if you can keep a friendship with your ex, that is great! But you cannot expect anything more than that. If something is meant to happen beyond being friends, it will happen naturally. So enjoy your friendship. It may help for you to see each other in a whole different light.

I agree with the writer below, the only way to let him see you could be more is by telling him what you want. If you don't then you are not likely to move forward and probably unhappy or nervous in your 'friendship'
I've done this before, hung around with my ex, thinking how much we could be more, thinking he knew it as well and we were both just waiting for the right time...... Well he wasn't he moved on got new girlfriends and cause I was his friends I was there to see them all. I couldn't understand why he wanted to be with them when I was there. I just thought he was scared of the commitment and if I stayed then one day I would get my man. Well he wasn't interested in his eye's we were jsut friends and there was no romance between us whatsoever. I found that out about a year down the line when I finally admitted to him what I wanted.
What I'd suggest to you is to save yourself the heart ache and tell him now while its still fresh and there is still a chance of recouperating what you had. He might say no and he might say yes! There's no way to know unless you ask him.... Once you have asked him your whole anxiety about the situation will stop because you will know where you stand. If you don't ask him your anxiety will only increase and that's not good cause anxiety can make you do some pretty dumb things.
If you wanna ask for some more advice than feel free, from Sexybum x
