Yes, exes can be friends... but not until after the passage of time.
Eject this person from your life for now because you really don't want to be friends. You want her back. And you will die a thousand deaths when that doesn't happen. If there is enough there to justify an actual friendship divorced from a romantic/sexual relationship -- which is VERY rare between a man and a woman -- then you will only know it after you have either completely forgotten her or have had an intervening serious relationship.
For a great illustration of this principle rent the movie Swingers. You are the character Mike.
