<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

My ex [22/M] broke up with me three weeks ago. He was a good guy during our relationship, but there just wasn't anything there and it wasn't going anywhere. We'd only actually dated for three months. When we broke up, he told me that our "romantic relationship had run its course," and that was that. 

We had known each other since high school and had been active friends for about three months before we started dating. During our relationship, we'd send each other funny posts via Facebook chat during the day. 

I gave myself two weeks to get over the break up, and to show my ex that I was okay with him, sent him a link a few days ago. He responded in kind over the next few days, and tonight I finally asked him to come out with a group of us to the bar tonight. Text was literally, "Come out tonight?" He isn't very social and didn't commit to coming, which was fine. 

I teased him about being boring and said this: "I know it's only been three weeks, but I'm cool with everything and I figured we could just go back to the way things were. I consider you a good friend and I want us to be friends, but I need to know honestly if that's what you want, too." He was short on many things during our relationship, but honesty was not one of them, and I just gave him the go ahead to honestly tell me whether or not he wants to be friends. I haven't heard a response in two hours, which is typical, but if our break up wasn't bad, and neither of us were hurt by it, can't we still be friends? I'm anticipating a response that says something along the lines of, "Well if you're so over him, why do you care if you're friends?" To which the answer should be obvious. We were very close before and I'd like to keep him in my life. What has been your experience with friendship after break ups?
<bot>: after a really easy break up, our friendship is slow to get started up again. What are your experiences with friendship after a break up?
