Enrim, I'm sorry that you're hurting.
Of course men and women can be friends after a situation like yours. But for everyone's happiness and comfort, it would be a good idea for you to go out and make some new friends, and let some time pass so that you can heal and are not "needing" something or yearning for something from him that he is not going to provide for you. That would just make everyone uncomfortable and put more space between you.
As my Grandpa George used to say, it'll feel better when it quits hurtin'. Meanwhile, you know you can love someone and be a good friend, so go out and be that.
Best wishes,
Angela
