TITLE: To be friends or not to be friends? That us the question.
POST: Me [21] ex [22] bi. She dumped me about a month ago due to not being happy and feeling like I've stolen her independence. We still talk n text each other nearly everyday keeping things plutonic to a point. I'm still cut up about the break up for It catched me a little of guard. She's told me that she still wants casual sex but wants to make sure I'm ok first and me being a guy who hasn't had sex or any sexual contact for a while wants her so badly. I still love her but she has told me on a number of occasions that she just wants to be friends and doesn't want a relationship for a long time. Shea already talking about how she's met up with a girl she finds attractive but has never done anything. 

Knowing all this should I keep talking to her n making contact in the hope that after a while of being friends we may one day find that spark we once lost and have "meaningless sex" or should I cut her out of my life completely, make no attempts to contact her or be contacted?

 I have trouble talking to girls and often just become friends with them.
TL;DR: 
ex wants to be friends and have sex, I want to work on our relationship through being friends first. Still not over her. She's over me.
