Answer
Dear Elizabeth,
So, you have no idea why you guys even broke up?  Sounds a little unfair.  I would definitely cut the friendship off for now until you have a discussion about what is going on.  Then, if he doesn't want to be romantically involved with you ~ you need to seperate yourself for awhile and give yourself some time to heal.  Trying to "stay friends" so early after a break up is our way of staying close to the person in some aspect.  I would definitely give yourself some time to heal.... Good Luck
