If I had a serious relationship with someone, I don't stay friends or even in touch, not always by choice, but it works out that way. I could be in the same room with any and be pleasant at like a wedding or funeral for mutual pals, but that's not staying friends.
If I was totally casual and went on two dates with someone, I may or may not even recall their first or last name, although I probably recall random factoids from conversation. Definitely not what I'd count as staying friends.
The only exceptions are people I dated for a while because I enjoyed them but never took seriously for whatever reason. I generally stay friends in those instances.
How about you all? Do you stay friends with your exes?
