"Guys you used to date know you better than anyone else--of course you should stay friends with them. Plus it's great to get an honest male opinion about stuff."--Margaret, 19
"I'm good friends with a few of my former boyfriends, and my new guy doesn't mind when we meet for lunch or drinks. I think as long as you're able to show your current man that you have eyes only for him, he will trust you to be friends with whomever you please."--Christine, 24
"I think it's cool to be chummy with an ex. There are some people who make better friends than lovers."--Aimee, 29
