i honestly don't have that much dating experience, i'm still dating my first serious boyfriend LOL but it's something i could see myself pursuing. if they're a valuable part of my life, i'd want to continue the friendship. and i think this tends to be easier in queer communities haha but that said, it would have to be a careful venture. most breakups are really painful in some way so... there would have to be respect for that pain, and for not rushing things. i'd want to approach for friendship in a way that still allowed the other person their space and no pressure, and i'd have to be aware that it might take a lot of time to get to a point where the friendship is actually close to what it was before, maybe even years. i'm the type who would stick with it that long sdfafasfk but i'd also have to know that it's ultimately the other person's decision whether to reciprocate or not. and if not, i'd just have to find my peace with that. there would have to not really be any morality applied to it or moral judgment or expectation. these things are just about what people need, and people need what they need. as for reigen, i'm sure he'd find something catchy to say about it. maybe he took it from a magazine for teen girls. who's to say.
