Do you think you could be just friends with an ex but know you would still have feelings for that person?

Yep, I've done it for 12 years now. I don't find it strange or weird, it just is. We both moved on to other relationships but we are still friends. And though I still have feelings for him, they don't get in the way.

I have been friends with one of my ex's for over 20 years!
-
yeah.. i think it can work
-
Possible? Maybe. But not for my ex. I wouldn't wish that demon spawn on my worst enemy, much less be friends with her.
-
No, coz it would be just too hard for that person who still has strong feelings for the ex. I still love my ex who dumped me 2 months ago and what make it worst is that I live right next door to him. I saw him today and we agreed that we can still be freinds but I'm hoping for more and I think I will be disappointed if it doesnt lead us to getting back together. It's hard, but too many things have gone under the bridge for us to be just freinds. He doesn't seem to care much less love me.

Not until the feelings go away. I'm in that boat now. I just broke up with someone and he really wants to stay friends. I need some time to detach so I'm avoiding the friend thing until I can do that.

Yes, I've done it before. It's tough, but I've done it. I'm still "friends" with my ex-husband. I will always love him, but since our relationship didn't work I know I can't go back - no matter how I feel.
-
No, I dont think it would work. The feelings would get in the way sooner or later, and then you'd wish you'd just left it alone.
-
You could, but it would hurt too much, especially if your feelings run deep. You may develop a "platonic" friendship, which is all the emotion of a real relationship but without the romantic attachment. In any case, you may set yourself up for more heart break by keeping them as your friend. You will see them move on and be happy without you being the main focus of their life- if you still have feeling for them, that is not gonna be easy for you.

My g/f recently told me she needed some space. I basically told her that I wanted more than just a friend. I wasn't about to call her every once in a while to ask how her weekend was. Basically, told her to shit or get off the pot. Didn't go well. So, I guess my answer to your question is no.

No.
