<human>: Ex-gf and i, dated 2 years, have been broken up for 3-4 months. Was hard to start with but has gotten better. During this time i have been seeing other girls albeit casually, however there are 1-2 girls that i actually enjoy spending time (strolls in central park, movies, coffee etc) with and could be open to the idea of more than casual. 

Currently my exgf and I are testing the waters of being friends again. We are both very compatible with each other and i genuinely enjoy spending time with her. Being friends would include talking as well as catching up on occasion. We have done this in the past, and it has been both good (to catch up) but bad (old feelings and break up sadness).

The problem i have and what i am looking for advice on is:

I am conflicted about my feelings, I know that she doesnt want to get back together, however she does want to remain friends (can anyone shed light on this?). In addition to my confusion surrounding her wanting to be friends i also don't know whether i can do that and think that the following is/could/will happen:

1. My feelings will always get in the way of any real friendship.

2. Im secretly hoping we could get back together again. 

3. I wouldn't be able to properly move on with anyone new while remaining in contact with my ex. 

Can anyone shed light on past experiences with this sort of situation?

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
