From a guy's point of view (or at least this guy's point of view) there is only a miniscule chance of being friends with an ex. Based on personal experience, the road to this is very difficult. After breaking up with my first "real" (I was 16 y.o.) gf, we agreed that we would stay in touch and just be friends. Although I always respected our relationship as being one as just friends.....ohhhh, the pining, and torture!!!! When ever we were together, I always hoped that she would somehow come around and want to take it up a notch or 2 like before. This went on for a looooong time. Finally, after I found someone I liked a whole lot better, and the pining and hoping disappeared, I was able to become just a friend. However, at this point, I didn't even want to be friends. I even realized we weren't even that compatible.....
So, from my point of view, if you want to stay friends, be my guest. But, understand that you may not be as happy that way.
