"There are some questions about men that only a guy can answer. We asked the dudes at guyspeak.com (read more about them here), for their take on this dating conundrum: Q: An ex from two years ago recently tried to &amp;quot;be my friend again&amp;quot; even though I&amp;#x27;m currently taken and live four states away. I told him I have no desire to stay in touch. He got upset and told me I&amp;#x27;d never learn anything in life if that&amp;#x27;s how I handle my problems. Am I being immature for wanting to stay disconnected? No, you are being wise. We&amp;#x27;ve had a lot of discussion here lately about staying friends with an ex; I know it can work, but I also know that it usually doesn&amp;#x27;t. I remain a fan of clean breaks. I was going to ask you how he wanted to be friends, exactly&amp;amp;mdash;Facebook? Email? Phone calls?&amp;amp;mdash;and if it was an ugly, unresolved breakup. But none of that really matters. If you have no desire to be friends with him, then you did the right thing. I don&amp;#x27;t know what he thinks you will learn by being friends again, but I know that doing so has a lot more potential to cause you trouble than to enrich your life. For starters, your current guy might not like it, so why risk today&amp;#x27;s relationship on something that was over two years ago? If you wanted to be friends with him again, this would be a different conversation, but the fact that you have zero interest makes this a no-brainer. That ship has sailed. If he can&amp;#x27;t see that, then he&amp;#x27;s the immature one, not you. --Written by Cary McNeal for guyspeak.com Do you stay in touch with your exes?
