 my opinion is that you should remain aquaintances not friends as such.i dont believe that ex,s fit into the category "friends"?you can talk to your mates about guys,personal stuff etc.go out together,meet someone new.hence this isnt a category that the ex fits.theres nearly always baggage and it should be left well alone.the very fact you are asking about the chance of getting back together shows that you cant settle for friends???

As far as getting back together goes, I believe its possible but unlikely to work out.

Certainly you should NEVER try to get him to come back by offering sex! That's only opening the door for him to take advantage of you with no real commitment.
Basically, once a relationship is ended, its ended, period. Not recommended to try to remain friends, because you need to be able to move on with your lives, and continuing as friends doesn't allow you to do that.
Presumably the reasons you broke up previously have not been resolved, right? Unless they can be worked out, again, either remaining as friends, or getting together again is definitely a bad idea.

 Yes, I think it is possible. But to base your friendship on this is going to be emotionally difficult and only serve against you both.
I would advise against it as being a friend with a hidden agenda is not a healthy friendship at all. It is a fine line you would be treading and someone is bound to get hurt in the end.
